Chapo Trap House - 768 – Handjob for the Recently Deceased (9/18/23)

We cover a spurt of stories about politicians being horny, starting with of course Lauren Boebert’s broadway handy. Then, have you seen this plane?: the air force loses an F-35 somewhere in South Carolina. Finally, we have a reading series on Mitt Romney’s self-mythologizing retirement announcement that eventually morphs into a rumination on the fate of empires.

NPR's Book of the Day - Héctor Tobar examines Latino identity in ‘Our Migrant Souls’

When Héctor Tobar was born to Guatemalan parents in Los Angeles in the 1960s, his race was described as "caucasian" on his birth certificate. In his new book, Our Migrant Souls, the Pulitzer Prize winning reporter examines how Latino identity is constructed and defined. He speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about the ways whiteness and colorism operate in the Latino community, how class plays into that understanding, and why media depictions of Latino communities still have a long way to go.

Everything Everywhere Daily - William Marshall: The Greatest Knight in History (Encore)

The middle ages didn’t have sports like we have today, but they did have competitions. 

These competitions were tournaments between knights where they demonstrated their martial prowess. 

During this period, there was one knight who stood out amongst all the rest. 

He never lost a match and rose to a level where he was the king of England in all but name.

Learn more about William Marshall, the greatest knight in history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Northwest Passage

When European explorers set off from Europe, many of them chased things that didn’t exist. The Fountain of Youth, the City of El Dorado, and Prester John were all things they pursued but came up empty-handed. 

However, there was one thing that these European explorers searched for that actually did exist, but not in the way they had hoped. 

While it was never historically relevant, it could play a much bigger role in the future. 

Learn more about the Northwest Passage, its discovery, and its future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
