Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origin of Words and Phrases: Military

The English language has evolved organically, gathering words and phrases from different languages, countries, and communities. 

It should come as no surprise that many of the words in English have come from the military. For centuries, soldiers have developed their own way of speaking and created words to describe their unique circumstances. 

Some of those words and phrases have managed to make it into the wider language, even if the meaning sometimes changes. 

Learn more about the English words and phrases with military origins on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - 98%: Is misinformation being spread about a review of trans youth medicine?

The Cass Review is an independent report on the state of gender identity services for under-18s in England?s NHS.

It found children had been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care.

But before it was even released, claims were circulating online that it ignored 98% of the evidence in reaching its conclusion.

Is that claim true?

We speak to Dr Hilary Cass, the author of the review, Professor Catherine Hewitt of York University, who analysed the scientific research, and Kamran Abbasi, editor in chief of the British Medical Journal.

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. 

The origins of chemical batteries go back thousands of years before people knew what electricity was or what they could do with it. The future of batteries looks even brighter as more devices will require more and better batteries.

Learn more about batteries, how they work, and how they have developed over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

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. First up, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks with Jeanette Winterson about The Night Side of the River, a collection of ghost stories that weaves in the liminal spaces — Metaverses, one might say — created through technology to coexist with the dead. 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.
