Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Books

Books are one of the foundational tools of civilization. They allow us to pass knowledge and information between people who don’t know each other, and their compact form allows knowledge to be transported across vast distances. 

Their permanence allows information to be sent across time such that centuries might separate a writer from a reader. 

But how did books develop, and in the modern world, is a book still a book if it's purely digital? 

Learn more about books, where they came from, and how they’ve changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Mango Tree’ is a memoir about growing up mixed-race Filipina in south Florida

The Mango Tree kicks off with a phone call: Journalist Annabelle Tometich is informed her mom has been arrested for shooting a man, with a BB gun, who was trying to take mangoes from her yard. What follows is a memoir about a rich but turbulent upbringing in a half-white, half-Filipino family in Fort Myers, Florida. In today's episode, NPR's Scott Simon asks Tometich about the moment she realized the violence in her household wasn't normal, and what that mango tree represented for her immigrant mother.

Bad Faith - Episode 379 Promo – The Hills Have Lies

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

In her first interview after being fired from The Hill Briahna Joy Gray sits down with the co-hosts of Due Dissidence, Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular, to discuss the long trajectory of attacks from Rep. Ritchie Torres and others that have led to Briahna's dismissal for pro-Palestine speech. This censorship has been a long time coming, and the attacks have escalated since Briahna attended a "Dissident Dialogue" conference early last month, which was clipped and circulated about a week before her ouster in a failed attempt at getting her canceled. Russell attended that conference, and he gives a firsthand account of his experience in the audience and from subsequent interviews with the staff that put together the event.

This is a comprehensive, raw account of what happened -- recorded within 24 hours of Briahna receiving the news that she'd been canceled.

This was not about an eye roll.
