Everything Everywhere Daily - Operation Fork and Iceland in WWII

Most people probably don’t think of Iceland when they think of the Second World War. 

They wouldn’t be wrong for doing so because Iceland wasn’t a belligerent country. 

However, that doesn’t mean Iceland didn’t have a role to play. The location of the island gave it a strategic importance that made both sides of the conflict pay attention to it.

Learn more about Operation Fork, Operation Ikarus, and the role of Iceland in the Second World War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - J. Ryan Stradal’s new novel pays homage to the supper clubs of the upper Midwest

J. Ryan Stradal knows about supper club culture in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the rest of the northern midwest – he grew up in a town where those dining establishments blurred the lines between restaurant and social club, family and community. That culture is at the heart of his new novel, Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club, where main character Mariel has inherited one such supper club from her grandparents. In today's episode, Stradal tells Here & Now's Robin Young about how chain diners have impacted those familiar dinner spots and how his late mother inspired much of the novel.
