Everything Everywhere Daily - Batteries

The odds are quite good that somewhere around you right now as you listen to me speak these words, is a battery. 

Whether it is in your smartphone, earbuds, automobile, smoke detector, or laptop, batteries have become ubiquitous in the modern world.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two collections of horror stories modernize the genre

Spooky season is year-round, and so are our episodes about scary stories.

Then, NPR's Juana Summers asks Desiree Evans and Saraciea Fennell about The Black Girl Survives in This One, an anthology of horror stories by Black writers that contend with the genre's relationship to race.
