Bad Faith - Episode 414 Promo – Death by PMC (w/ Catherine Liu)

Catherine Liu wrote the definitive case against the Professional Managerial Class -- a group of elite wage workers who tend to dominate media, politics, and other leadership positions due to their educational attainment and other class signifiers that set them apart from the rest of the working class. She has identified the PMC as a key obstacle to achieving substantive gains for the working class as a whole. But is that changing as economic precarity reaches more and more people, and as candidates like Kamala Harris reveal the emptiness of PMC identity politics?

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Insurance (Encore)

Insurance seems like a pretty modern concept. There are insurance commercials on television, and insurance companies sponsor major sports teams. 

Most of us have to buy insurance, or we are at least under someone else’s insurance policy.

However, insurance is far from a modern concept. It is actually one of the oldest financial arrangements in human history.

Learn more about insurance, how it was created, and how it works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Han Kang, winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize in literature, on her novel ‘The Vegetarian’

South Korean author Han Kang is this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in literature, making her the first Korean writer to win the award. In its citation, the Swedish Academy commended Han "for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life." Both of these themes are present in the author's 2007 novel, The Vegetarian, which tells the story of a young woman who decides to give up meat. In today's episode, we revisit a 2016 interview between Han and NPR's Linda Wertheimer, which took place around the time of The Vegetarian's publication in English. In the interview, they discussed gender politics, how women cope with trauma, and Han's "long-lasting question about human violence."

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Boxer Rebellion

From 1899 to 1900, China underwent a widespread and violent uprising. The revolt, a reaction against China’s exploitation by foreign powers, was decades in the making.

In response to the revolt, a group of eight nations joined together to put down the rebellion and ultimately subjected China to yet another humiliating treaty.

The rebellion wasn’t successful, but it laid the groundwork for the seismic changes that would shape the country during the 20th century. 

Learn more about the Boxer Rebellion and how it influenced China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of the Bulge

In late 1944, the Allies were on a roll, and Germany was on the ropes. Some Allies, considering how fast they were advancing, thought the war might be over by Christmas.

However, Hitler had a plan. He would engage in one last desperate battle, which he thought would turn the tide of the war in the West and possibly wipe out the Allies completely. 

The result was one of the largest battles of the Second World War and the German military's ultimate failure.

Learn more about the Battle of the Bulge and how it shaped the course of WWII on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
