Everything Everywhere Daily - The Magna Carta

In the early 13th century, England suffered through the worst monarch it would have in its history: King John.

John and his arbitrary policies and high taxation angered the nobility, the church, and the common people. 

However, out of his disastrous reign came something good. An uprising against his rule forced him to sign a document establishing fundamental principles of limited government, the rule of law, and individual rights, marking a crucial milestone in developing constitutional and legal frameworks.

Learn more about the Magna Carta, how it came about, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Tenshō embassy

In 1582, a Japanese nobleman by the name of Lord Ōtomo Sōrin sent a group of envoys to Europe. 

The entire round trip of their journey took eight years, and along the way, they visited several European countries and met multiple European heads of state, including two popes.

It was hoped that their mission would revolutionize relations between Europe and Japan.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two poetry collections find beauty in unexpected places

Poet Franny Choi knows that marginalized communities have been facing apocalypses forever. But in her new book, The World Keeps Ending and the World Goes On, she uses their survival as a way to look forward. In this episode, she tells NPR's Leila Fadel how understanding that pain and resilience can ultimately be a source of hope. Then, former U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins discusses his new collection of very short poems, Musical Tables, with NPR's Scott Simon – and gets into the complexities of how sometimes saying less can offer so much more.
