Craig Mokhiber, international human rights law specialist who stepped down from his post as director of the New York office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights after October 7th, returns to Bad Faith to discuss the Rafah massacre in which dozens of Palestinians were killed by the IDF while waiting for aid, the Gaza Tribunal's Sarajevo Conference in which legal scholars, human rights experts, journalists, and survivors pushed a civil society-led initiative for accountability for Israel; and the potential for U.N. reform now that the U.S. is withdrawing funding, and perhaps influence, from the United Nations.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Theater Kid’ is a memoir from the producer of ‘Rent,’ ‘Avenue Q,’ and ‘Hamilton’

Jeffrey Seller says he found his home on stage from an early age. He grew up in the suburbs of Detroit as an adopted, gay, Jewish kid in a low-income family – but he was also a theater kid. In his new memoir Theater Kid, Seller reflects on how he moved on from the challenges of his childhood to find incredible success on Broadway. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about what first drew him to projects like In the Heights and Hamilton, the surprising jobs held by Seller's father, and what theater can unlock for its audiences.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Macau

Located in the Pearl River Delta, off the coast of the mainland of the People’s Republic of China, is Macau.

Macau is often overlooked due to its larger neighbor, Hong Kong, but Macau, despite being similar, has had its own unique history.

What began as a fishing village evolved into a major trading port, and in the 21st century, it has become one of the most popular entertainment centers in Asia.

It remains unlike any other place in Asia, and indeed, the entire world.

Learn more about Macau and its history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
