Columbia grad student Layla S., whom you may know from the highly informative Twitter account @itslaylas, joins Bad Faith to talk about the government kidnapping of her friend and Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, and ICE's deportation threats against two other pro-Palestine student protesters: Ranjani Srinivasan, who self-deported, and Leqaa Kordia, who was detained last week. Layla puts these events in the context of the broader crackdown on college protests under the Biden administration, which laid the foundation for the current abrogation of First Amendment rights for critics of Israel.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Gettysburg

In the summer of 1863, after two years of war, Confederate General Robert E. Lee felt it was possible to swiftly end the conflict by taking the fight to the Union. 


Up until this point, almost all of the fighting had taken place in Virginia. Lee felt that by moving to the north, he could achieve several objectives that would lead the Union to seek peace.


His march to the north resulted in the largest battle of the war, which would ultimately be the turning point of the entire conflict.


Learn more about the Battle of Gettysburg, why it happened and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - How did lockdown impact children?

In March 2020, the covid pandemic forced the UK into lockdown. Schools closed, universities went online and the economy shut down.

It slowly became clear that young people were not falling victim to the virus in significant numbers - they made up a fraction of a percent of the overall death toll.

But their lives were radically changed - most spending these formative ages stuck at home as the pandemic raged. Politicians and academics worried about the long term impact this would have on their chances in life.

Five years on, Tim Harford delves into the data to try to work out what we can say with confidence about the effect of the lockdown on the children and young adults who lived through it.

On questions of education levels, job prospects and mental health, what story does the best evidence show us?

NPR's Book of the Day - A new novel from Karen Russell is a sprawling story set during the Dust Bowl

The Antidote opens on what seems like an ordinary Sunday in a fictional town in 1930s Nebraska. But by 3 p.m., apocalyptic clouds cover the sun and make the afternoon look like midnight. Karen Russell's latest novel is set during the Dust Bowl – a period when poor farming practices and drought led to a wave of severe and damaging dust storms. In this bleak setting, we're introduced to a cast of characters, including a woman who stores other people's memories and a photographer tasked with documenting the crisis. In today's episode, Russell speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about the inspiration behind The Antitode's core characters, including the work of photographer Gordon Parks and an image that came to Russell as she finished her first novel.
