Everything Everywhere Daily - The Five Good Emperors

Depending on how you define it, there were approximately 70 Roman Emperors. 

They were a mixed bag ranging from philosophers to the insane, from generals to children. 

Some were truly horrible, but some were actually pretty good at their job. In particular, there were five consecutive emperors who reigned during the peak of Pax Romana.

Learn more about the Five Good Emperors on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Ada Limón talks forgiveness, ghosts and fertility on ‘Wild Card’

U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón recently edited and introduced You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World, a collection of poems by writers like Joy Harjo and Jericho Brown that pays homage to landscapes across the United States. In today's episode, Limón joins NPR's Rachel Martin to play a game for the new podcast Wild Card. They discuss some pivotal moments in Limón's life marked by natural scenery, like a creek she played in growing up and a big realization she had about her fertility while swimming in the Chesapeake Bay — and go beyond that into conversations about grandparents, memory and mortality.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Liberal Projections and Veep Predictions

The polling is coming in and...sorry, but the Trump verdict isn't changing anything, it appears. Nonetheless, liberal journalists and politicians keep believing their take that "the rule of law is on the ballot" applies to the aftermath of a Trump victory rather than describing what's happening right now in the wake of the New York case. Also: Veepstakes! Veepstakes! Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - D-Day

On June 6, 1944, the largest amphibious landing in world history took place on the shore of Normandy, France. The allied forces called it D-Day.

The landing marked the commencement of Operation Overlord, a strategic move that heralded the long-awaited opening of the second front in the European war. 

D-Day was the start of the most meticulously planned events in history and one of the greatest logistical operations of all time.

It was also the day that saw some of the war's most horrific and heroic actions.

Learn more about D-Day and the start of the liberation of Western Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
