Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Railways

Over the last 200 years, railroads have been one of the most important methods of transportation. Railroads helped make the modern world. They are capable of transporting people and goods quickly over long distances at a low cost. 

However, most people would be shocked to learn that railways predate the development of locomotives. In fact, the earliest evidence of using some sort of premade track dates back thousands of years before the first locomotive. 

…and despite the development of new and faster forms of transportation, rails look to continue to have a bright future. 

Learn more about railways, their history, and their future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘The Exvangelicals,’ Sarah McCammon analyzes loving and leaving the church

NPR's Sarah McCammon grew up in the white evangelical church — and though she left the tradition as an adult, she's continued to cover its ties to Trump's politics closely as a journalist. Her new book, The Exvangelicals, chronicles why so many people like herself have removed themselves from evangelicalism. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about the different breaking points she heard from other defectors — from COVID to racial justice — and why a decline in people who identify as evangelical might actually explain the group's rising political profile.
