Barbra Streisand spent 15 years working to get her directorial debut, the movie Yentl, made. She writes in her new memoir, My Name is Barbra, that people in Hollywood often told her the story was "too Jewish" to appeal to a mainstream audience. In today's episode, Streisand speaks with NPR's Brittany Luse, host of the podcast It's Been a Minute, about that experience. She also talks about why she feels like her book gives her control over her legacy – and how she approached it as kind of a "director's cut" of her life.

Pod Save America - BONUS: Could Trump Still Lose the Nomination? (Live from New Orleans!)
Guest host Tim Miller joins Jon, Jon, Tommy, and Dan live from New Orleans! A fired-up President Biden campaigns in Illinois, but Jill Stein enters the Presidential race and Joe Manchin announces that he won't seek re-election, making it harder for Democrats to keep the Senate—and possibly the White House—in 2024. State Rep. Mandie Landry and Public Service Commissioner Davante Lewis join the show to talk Louisiana politics. The hosts debate whether Donald Trump really has the GOP nomination on lock. Then, in the home state of porn-monitoring Speaker Mike Johnson, Lovett debuts a new game: Covenant Eyes Are Watching You.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Eponymous Laws Part 2
In a previous episode, I went through a list of eponymous laws. These were laws, general rules, or sometimes even scientific laws that were named after people.
However, the eponymous laws I went through only scratched the surface of the eponymous Laws that are out there. There are all sorts of laws, rules, and dictums which bear someone’s name.
So, because it was so popular the first time, hang on for Eponymous Laws Part 2 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The OMG! Particle
On October 15, 1991, a cosmic ray detector in Utah observed something that had never been seen before or since.
It was a cosmic ray with more energy than anything ever observed and more energy than most scientists thought possible.
When one of the first researchers saw the data, they responded simply, "Oh, my God!"
Learn more about the OMG particle, what it was, and what it means on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Can maths prove the existence of aliens?
Are we alone in the universe ? and if not, how many other civilisations might there be? Remarkable images and data sent back to Earth by the James Webb telescope have given a new impetus to a well-worn debate. We ask how far mathematics ? and in particular a famous equation called the Drake Equation ? can be used to answer one of the most fundamental questions we face. Paul Connolly investigates with the help of Catherine Heymans, Astronomer Royal for Scotland and Professor at the University of Edinburgh and Bill Diamond, President and CEO of the SETI Institute in California.
Presenter: Paul Connolly Producers: Paul Connolly and Jon Bithrey Editor: Richard Vadon Production Co-ordinator: Katie Morrison Sound Engineer: David Crackles

Everything Everywhere Daily - Constantinople (Encore)
In the year 330, the Roman Emperor Constantine decided that the capital of the entire Roman Empire should be moved.
The location he selected was a small Greek town by the name of Byzantium, located in the middle of the Bhosperous Straits, approximately 500 miles or 800 kilometers from Rome.
From there, it grew into one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the world and was the seat of more than one major empire.
Learn more about Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Thicker Than Water,’ Kerry Washington processes a family secret
Kerry Washington is well-known for her roles in Scandal, Little Fires Everywhere and Django Unchained. But in her new memoir, she reveals a LOT that the public doesn't know about her – and one big thing she didn't even know about herself until fairly recently. In today's episode, Washington sits down with NPR's Juana Summers for a two-part conversation about how a secret her parents kept for decades challenged – and strengthened – her relationship with them, and how she's managed the vulnerability that comes with sharing that journey with the rest of the world.
