Everything Everywhere Daily - The Hubble Space Telescope

On April 24, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched the Hubble Space Telescope into low Earth orbit.

After some initial technical problems, it began providing images of our universe, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. 

Even though larger, better telescopes have been sent to space for over 30 years, the Hubble has remained one of the most important instruments available to astronomers.

Pod Save America - The Race to Define Kamala Harris

Election Day is just over 100 days away, and the Trump team is scrambling to define Kamala Harris before she can do it herself. Jon and Dan discuss the Harris campaign rollout so far, the Right's attack playbook, and Joe Biden's Oval Office address about passing the torch. Then, former UN Ambassador Susan Rice joins the show to talk about what it really means to say Harris is a "DEI candidate," and what it's like to go through the VP vetting process.

NPR's Book of the Day - Riley Sager and Johanna Copeland set thrillers in suburbia

Today's episode features two page-turners full of suspense. First, NPR's Don Gonyea speaks with Todd Ritter – who publishes as Riley Sager – about Middle of the Night, a coming-of-age meets ghost story in which protagonist Ethan Marsh returns to his childhood home and is faced with the decades-old disappearance of his best friend. Then, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly asks Johanna Copeland about Our Kind of Game, and how real-life neighborhood gossip about domestic violence sparked the dark novel about power imbalances in relationships.

Bad Faith - Episode 392 – Kamala is a Cop, Actually (w/ Alec Karakatsanis)

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

Civil rights attorney, former public defender, and founder of Civil Rights Corps Alec Karakatsanis joins Bad Faith to discuss his latest article exposing the massive disinformation campaign around police body cameras that has led liberals to embrace surveillance technology as a progressive reform. Alec explains the evidence that exposes the true purpose of body cameras, and addresses whether the recent on-camera murder of Sonya Massey complicates the argument. He then takes on a new trend rehabilitating Kamala Harris's criminal justice record now that she's the presumptive nominee. Were claims about her record overblown in 2020? Or is she, in fact, a cop?
