Everything Everywhere Daily - The Mongol Invasions of Japan (Encore)

In the late 13th century, the Mongol Empire was at the peak of its power. 

It was at this time that the Mongol Emperor of China, Kublai Khan, set his eyes on the islands of Japan. 

On two separate occasions, the Mongols assembled the largest amphibious fleet in world history. Both times, they discovered the limits of their military conquests.

Learn more about the Mongol invasions of Japan on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Trump Closes With Small Fries and Big D*cks

NPR's Book of the Day - With a new cookbook, TikTok creator Owen Han aims to perfect the art of the sandwich

Owen Han used to work in hospitals, but his life changed in 2020 when his father died. Motivated by his late father's encouragement to pursue his passions, Han started posting food content on TikTok. He shared recipes for dishes inspired by his Italian and Chinese heritage, like his grandmother's shrimp toast. Since then, Han has become known for his creative twists on classic sandwiches–and fittingly, sandwiches are the focus of his new cookbook, 'Stacked.' In today's episode, Han joins NPR's Scott Simon to talk about his expansive definition of a sandwich and how ASMR has inspired his approach to texture.

Bad Faith - Episode 416 Promo – The Deep State & 2024

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

Political scientist Aaron Good joins Bad Faith to discuss the deep state and his book "American Exception: Hegemony and the Tripartite State," in which he examines the relationship between the state, elite criminality, and U.S. hegemony. What is the "deep state," how has that term been misappropriated by the right, and how is the power of the deep state being reflected in the 2024 election -- both with respect to the choice of Democratic candidate and her policy priorities? Also, can the deep state be beat -- and if not, is it time to just say screw it and get an MFA for health insurance and a little structure while we work on our novels?
