NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Welcome the Wretched’ argues for the separation of immigration and criminalization

Welcome the Wretched, a new book by legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández, makes the case that the immigration and criminal legal systems in the U.S. have become way too intertwined over time – and they should be separated. In today's episode, Cuauhtémoc García Hernández walks Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes through the history of how we got to this point of criminalizing immigration. He also explains why he doesn't think immigrants should be deported for breaking the law, and how racism operates in immigration enforcement.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Marcus Antonius

One of the central figures in the drama of the collapse of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire was Marc Antony.

He was a rather odd figure in Roman History. He came from an upper-class, but not necessarily elite, family. 

Neither was he wasn’t a great general. Yet he was at the right place at the right time, and his actions played a huge part in the republic's collapse. 

Learn more about Marcus Antonius, aka Marc Antony, and how he found himself at the center of Roman history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Apollo 13 (Encore)

On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, as the third mission to land on the moon.

Despite having failed in its goal, it still managed to return to Earth and, in its own way, achieved a type of success it could never have planned for.

Learn more about Apollo 13, the most successful failure in the history of space flight, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - The global gender split in young people?s politics

In a surprising new trend, young men and women around the world are dividing by gender on their politics and ideologies. Whilst young women are becoming more liberal, young men are becoming more conservative. Tim Harford speaks to John Burn-Murdoch, Columnist and Chief Data Reporter at the Financial Times, about why this global phenomena may be occurring and Dr Heejung Chung, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent, explains why the ideological divisions between young men and women in South Korea are some of the most extreme.

Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Debbie Richford Series Producer: Tom Colls Production Co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound Mix: Neil Churchill Editor: Richard Vadon
