Everything Everywhere Daily - The GOATs

In any sport, there is always one debate that comes up. It comes up year after year, and it has been around for as long as sport has existed. 

The debate is about who is the greatest of all time, or in common parlance, who is the GOAT?

Every sport has its own contenders for the GOAT. In some sports, the GOAT is pretty easy to identify. In others, it isn’t quite so clear. 

Learn more about who the GOATS are in many major sports on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Juli Min’s novel ‘Shanghailanders’ unfolds in reverse

At the start of Juli Min's debut novel, it's 2040 in Shanghai, and a wealthy real estate developer is parting ways with his wife and adult daughters at the airport. But as the story progresses, Shanghailanders moves back in time, slowly unraveling the dreams, decisions and mistakes of the members of this family all the way back to 2014. In today's episode, Min speaks with NPR's Ailsa Chang about why she decided to write the events of the book in this order, and how the city of Shanghai is a character all on its own.

The Indicator from Planet Money - The debate at the heart of new electricity transmission

The U.S. wants to become a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. That will mean a lot of new generation from renewable energy. It also means more transmission networks are needed to bring it onto the grid.

But there's a debate over how that new transmission should be built — between a competitive or monopoly approach. Today, we look at why competition is so divisive and why each side thinks they should build the next generation of transmission infrastructure.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Manhattan Project

During the Second World War, the United States embarked on one of the greatest science and engineering projects the world had ever seen. 

Over 100,000 people took part in the program, the vast majority of which had no clue what it was for, and the total cost of the program was in the billions of dollars, at a time when a billion dollars was a lot of money. 

The end result was the most devastating weapon ever created, and it fundamentally changed the world.

Learn more about the Manhattan Project and how the atomic bomb was created on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - VP Picks Her VP

We're just hours away from the announcement of VP Harris's running mate—and she's reportedly narrowed it down to Gov. Tim Walz and Gov. Josh Shapiro. Jon and Lovett talk about what they love about both finalists, what the influx of Obama veterans like David Plouffe could mean for the Harris campaign, why Trump doesn't want to debate the Vice President, and Trump's grievance-filled rally in Atlanta. Finally, they play a round of "Okay, Stop" with RFK's bizarre bear cub admission.

NPR's Book of the Day - Cory Richards’ memoir covers mountains, photography and mental health

Cory Richards made a name for himself taking photographs across the globe for National Geographic. His new memoir, The Color of Everything, grapples with the harsh realities of high-end climbing, fame, mortality – and some of the not-so-great things he's done. In today's episode, Richards speaks with NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer about why he jokes the book is a bit of 'memoir, mountains, mea culpa' and what it means for public figures to open up about their pitfalls.
