John J. Miller is joined by Christine Rosen to discuss her new book, 'The Extinction of Experience.'

After the Nazi invasion of France in 1940, the French were forced to sign a lopsided armistice that gave control over most of the country to Germany. 

However, about 40% of Frace was not occupied by the Germans. It was controlled by a French government that came to power after the invasion and collaborated with and sided with Germany. 

The government ruled much of France for four years until the Allied invasion of France, and after liberation, the collaborators paid the price.

Rachel Kushner's new novel, Creation Lake, has all the makings of a great spy thriller: a cool and unknowable secret agent, a mysterious figure who communicates only by email and a radical commune of French eco-activists. Kushner has said that some of these elements were, in fact, inspired by real-world stories of espionage and her own access to the social and political worlds of activist communes. In today's episode, Kushner speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about the murky boundaries of being an undercover agent–and a writer.

In 1961, Michael Rockefeller, an heir to one of the greatest fortunes in the world, disappeared on an art-collecting trip off the coast of the island of New Guinea. 

For decades, the family simply assumed that he accidentally drowned off the coast in an attempt to rescue his anthropologist colleague. 

However, in the decades since he disappeared, more information may have come forward about exactly what happened, and it may not have been a simple drowning. 

Learn more about Michael Rockefeller and the possible grizzly truth about his disappearance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

People in the entertainment industry often say that show business is “show business.”

As much as motion pictures are an art form, it is also a business. In many cases, a very big business. 

Motion picture studios will often invest hundreds of millions of dollars into a film expecting to see a return on their investment. 

Most of the time, a film will break even. However, in a few spectacular cases, a disastrous film has ruined a studio.

Learn more about box office bombs and some of the worst-performing movies in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
