Everything Everywhere Daily - Solar Eclipses

Every few years, somewhere on Earth, is witness to one of the planet's greatest sights: a total eclipse.

A total solar eclipse is rare, but it can be calculated centuries in advance. 

However, that wasn’t always the case. For thousands of years, solar eclipses were rare events that were considered to be bad omens. 

Learn more about solar eclipses, how they work, and how people have dealt with them throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Do I need a four-year degree?

The U.S. labor market continues its hot streak, adding 303,000 jobs last month — more than expected. Many of these jobs will require a four-year degree despite a push among some employers to eliminate these requirements. On today's show, we look at the state of the job market for people without a four-year college degree.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two picture books use vivid colors to convey messages of joy and unity

Today's episode features two books that use bright, colorful illustrations to convey larger messages about acceptance and community. First, Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes speaks with author-illustrator Steve Asbell about Flap Your Hands, which celebrates how stimming is an act of self-care for autistic children. Then, NPR's Samantha Balaban gathers actress Julie Andrews, her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton and illustrator Elly MacKay to describe how shadows operate in their new fairytale, The Enchanted Symphony, about how music revives the plants – and people – in a village.
