Everything Everywhere Daily - A Brief History of Central America

Located between Mexico and Columbia, in a strategic area connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific, is the region we call Central America. 

The countries that makeup Central America were mostly former Spanish colonies, but unlike other Spanish colonies to the north and south, Central America wound up as a series of small countries rather than one big one.

But why?

Learn more about the history of Central America and how the current borders came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - New Polling on Trump’s Felony Conviction

President Biden fights back, labeling Trump a “white collar crook” while jury selection begins for his son’s criminal gun charge trial in Delaware. And, as the White House pushes for a ceasefire, Republican and Democratic congressional leadership invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the nation’s capitol to address Congress.

NPR's Book of the Day - Kathleen Hanna remembers her path to becoming the OG ‘Rebel Girl’

Before she founded the riot grrrl movement of the 1990s, Kathleen Hanna was a teenager volunteering at a rape and domestic violence shelter in Olympia, Washington. In today's episode, the Bikini Kill and Le Tigre frontwoman tells NPR's Kelly McEvers how the anger and grief she absorbed there manifested into lyrics and performances that would take the punk and music scenes by storm. That story is at the heart of Hanna's memoir, Rebel Girl, which also grapples with setting boundaries, carrying the feminist torch of a generation and lending a hand to younger bands.
