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.

Jon, Dan, and Tommy discuss how Democrats did it, and what it all could mean for Joe Biden next fall. Then, did somebody say "ship gap"?? 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.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Let Us Descend,’ Jesmyn Ward harnesses the spirituality of an enslaved woman

For the first few years that National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward was writing her new novel, Let Us Descend, she says she really struggled to tap into her main character. Annis is an enslaved Black woman who faces unsurmountable hardships – but she also finds deep comfort in the spirits and elements that surround her. In today's episode, Ward tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe why she needed to incorporate spirituality into the Southern hellscape Annis faces; and why as hard as it can be to read about slavery, it's also an act of memory and resistance.
