With songs like "Let Me Blow Ya Mind," "Satisfaction" and "Tambourine," Eve's music was a staple of early 2000s hip-hop. In her new memoir, Who's That Girl? Eve and co-author Kathy Iandoli detail the rocky path to the rapper's success. In today's episode, Eve speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about coming up in a male-dominated hip-hop industry. They discuss an early-career setback, female representation in hip-hop today and why Eve disagrees with being called a "kept woman."

Audio Poem of the Day - The Dream Won’t Come True
By Kathy Fagan
Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1978 Lufthansa Heist
On December 11, 1978, one of the most audacious heists in history took place at JFK Airport in New York City.
A small group of thieves executed an almost perfect crime and walked away with 6 million dollars in cash and jewelry.
While the actual robbery went off without a hitch, it was after the crime that things fell apart and eventually left a trail of bodies strewn across New York.
Learn more about the 1978 Lufthansa Heist, how they pulled it off, and its bloody results on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
For decades, the nation of Ethiopia has dreamed of creating a damn on the Blue Nile River.
Such a dam would provide an enormous amount of electricity for a country that is one of the lowest electricity consumers in the world. Such a project would be a massive undertaking and it would also bring a great deal of prestige to the country.
What was once a dream began to become a reality in the 21st century, and today is producing energy for the country. However, the project has also caused problems with many of its neighbors.
Learn more about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, how it was built as well as how it has impacted the country and its neighbors, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

We don?t usually do god on More or Less, but one listener got in touch to ask us to investigate a stat used by an Anglican priest on a BBC radio programme.
Speaking on the ?Thought for the Day? slot, Reverend Lucy Winkett said that around 85% of the world's population practice a religion.
Is this true? We speak to Conrad Hackett, from the Pew Research Center, and the person whose research is the source for the claim.

Audio Poem of the Day - Skeleton
By Deborah Landau
The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Oprah Gets Involved, Trump Gets Attacked
Aside from Oprah having a Kamala lovefest, the political story of the day involves attacks on Donald Trump's words about American Jews. These attacks seem peculiarly related to polling showing the Republican candidate making startling inroads into the Jewish vote, which could have a significant impact in the key state of Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, actual anti-Semitic garbage from the Republican gubernatorial candidate in North Carolina may imperil Trump's presidential bid even more. What's going on? Give a listen.
