NPR's Book of the Day - Ta-Nehisi Coates returns to political writing in his new book ‘The Message’

Ta-Nehisi Coates is no stranger to political writing–or controversy. But his new book, The Message, marks the author's return to nonfiction almost a decade after the publication of Between the World and Me. The new book of essays focuses on Coates' reporting in three central locations: the American South, Palestine and Africa. In today's episode, Coates speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about books bans and criticism of the author's position on the war in Gaza.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Roman Roads

When we look at history, we tend to focus on grand things like great leaders and great battles.

In reality, what makes for successful empires is often the mundane: stable laws, an uncorrupt civil service, or, for large sprawling empires, a system of roads. 

Roads were one of the secrets to the success of Rome, and they proved useful for centuries, even after the empire's fall. 

Learn more about Roman roads and how they linked together a vast empire on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
