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.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - The News Organizations Working With Hamas

Today's podcast begins with a discussion of the Republican debate before we turn to the astonishing revelations that trusted stringers for a series of Western news organizations, among them the AP, Reuters, and CNN, were actually with the Hamas monsters who slaughtered and wounded 5,000 Israelis on October 7—and were, at least until last night, still collecting checks from these organizations. How could this happen? The answer: Decades of reliance on local "stringers" who are actually operatives for the bad guys. Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Unthinkable

In the days immediately following the surrender of Germany in May 1945, new concerns gripped the victorious Allied forces.

The alliance had always been one of convenience. Diametrically opposing political and economic systems joined forces to defeat a common foe.

But now that the foe had been vanquished, what was next? Would the former allies now become enemies?

Learn more about Operation Unthinkable and the plans for how the Allies would fight each other in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - What it’s like to write the biographies of Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried

Today's episode is a little different. NPR's David Folkenflik sits down with two writers – Walter Isaacson and Michael Lewis – to ask about their experiences writing biographies of Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried, respectively, and what it means to watch the person you're profiling become a villain in the public eye in real time. They discuss the process of getting close – or keeping their distance – from their sources for Elon Musk and Going Infinite, and confront the criticisms of how they do or don't address the wrongdoings of Musk and Bankman-Fried in their books.

The third Republican debate goes in some very odd directions—while the front-runner shows off his own brand of crazy at a Florida rally.
