Everything Everywhere Daily - Jet Propulsion

When humans first managed to harness heavier-than-air flight, they did so by using piston engines and propellers. 

Several decades later, a more efficient means of propulsion was developed. It could make planes travel faster and higher and could use less fuel over longer distances. 

In addition to transforming civilian and military aviation, new modes of it still have the potential to revolutionize the world once again.

Learn more about jet propulsion, how it works, and how it was developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Don Paterson and Michael Ondaatje’s new books meditate on poetry, time and memory

Today's episode features interviews with two poets whose new works look back in time, either in their own lives or those of their subjects. First, Don Paterson speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about his new memoir, Toy Fights, which recounts his childhood in Scotland. The two get to talking about Paterson's self-described "descent into madness" and the reason his poems go unmentioned in the book. Then, Simon speaks with Michael Ondaatje about A Year of Last Things, and how the Booker Prize-winning writer thinks about going back and forth between fiction and poetry.

Bad Faith - Episode 358 – Capital Controls (w/ Steve Maher)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Unlike in 2020 & 2016, a prescriptive progressive economic agenda hasn't been thrust into mainstream consideration this election cycle. Rather, any talk of the economy has largely centered around questions of inflation: whether Biden is or isn't making it better, and whether leftists are overstating the cost of living struggles of working people. This week, Professor of Economics at SUNY-Cortland Steve Maher joins Bad Faith to assert a positive economic vision for the left, how to defeat globalization, and whether or not right-populists have gotten anything right in these regards -- if only rhetorically. We also debate the value of left electoralism, whether "fraud squad" is a fair charge, and the limits of labor militancy.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Cult of Pythagoras (Encore)

He was one of the greatest thinkers of the ancient world. He was a philosopher, a mathematician, and had some unique views on diet and religion. 

You probably know him best for the theorem which bears his name. 

However, if you asked anyone 2,600 years ago, they might have known him for something else entirely.

Learn more about Pythagoras, his ideas, and the cult that he led on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
