NPR's Book of the Day - Yangsze Choo’s ‘The Fox Wife’ explores gender, murder and folklore in the 1900s

Yangsze Choo says she doesn't thoroughly plan out her novels – her newest, The Fox Wife, blossomed from that core idea behind the title, of a woman who also happens to be a fox. But beyond that, it's a story about a mother avenging her child, about a murder investigation in early 20th century China, and about family curses. As the author tells NPR's Scott Simon, foxes hold a wide range of intrigue and mystery in Chinese, Korean and Japanese legends — and it's these traits that broke open a whole world of secrets for her characters.

The eponymous host of the Kim Iverson Show joins Bad Faith to break down Thursday's disastrous-for-Democrats debate, RFK Jr.'s response, and what third party opportunities this unique political moment presents for the left. Is this the moment to commit to the Green Party? Or is the only "green" to discuss Biden's golf handicap -- or whether Trump is sub "par?" Is it worth it to vote for RFK Jr. just to break up the duopoly? Or are his views on Gaza too insidious to consider any other upsides? You wont want to miss this spirited debate.
