Everything Everywhere Daily - The Acoustic Kitty and Other Crazy CIA Plots

Since its creation, the Central Intelligence Agency has been tasked with gathering intelligence on foreign adversarial governments. 

Exactly how they were to go about doing this was not exactly spelled out in advance. 

This gave them an enormous amount of leeway and creativity in how to go about their mission. Some of their ideas were truly inspired, and others were, how shall we say, odd. 

Learn more about the Acoustic Kitty and other crazy CIA plots on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Bad Faith - Episode 443 Promo – Could Chapo Trap House Save the Left?

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Vanity Fair recently published a provocatively-titled piece saying "Chapo Trap House Isn't Going to Save the Democrats." Comedian and podcaster Jake Flores joins Bad Faith along with Institute for Middle Eastern Understanding communications director Hamid Bendaas for a deep dive on the article, whether the trajectory of one of the left's most popular podcasts is reflective of the broader despondency on the left, and whether the pod has the power to help course correct the left back toward the optimism of the Bernie years. Hamid brings important IMEU stats showing the effect of the Gaza genocide on electoral outcomes, and the pair assess the liberal blame game which seeks to put the onus on everything except for the Democrats' own failures -- including the "dirtbag left."

NPR's Book of the Day - Han Kang’s latest novel ‘We Do Not Part’ deals with hidden chapters of Korean history

In this interview with NPR's Scott Simon, Han Kang says the idea for her latest novel came to her in a snowy, haunting dream. The Nobel Prize-winning author's We Do Not Part is itself dreamlike. The novel follows narrator Kyungha as she tries to rescue a friend's beloved pet bird in the midst of a snowstorm that has hit South Korea's Jeju Island. As the story goes on, Kyungha is confronted with the taboo, hidden history of a 1948 massacre that took place on the island. In today's episode, Simon and Han discuss how censorship by the South Korean government contributed to the obfuscation of that violent history, as well as the author's interest in finding lightness in themes like animals and snow.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Warrior Monks: The Story of the Knights Templar (Encore)

In the early 12th century, a military monastic order developed in the Middle East with the express intent of protecting Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.

Despite its rather modest mission statement, over the next 200 years, this organization became one of the most powerful entities throughout the Middle East and Europe. 

However, its success and power eventually planted the seeds of its own destruction.

Learn more about the Knights Templar, their rise and spectacular fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
