NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Sparks,’ Ian Johnson highlights China’s ‘grassroots historians’

Since being named general secretary of China's ruling Communist Party, Xi Jinping has exerted his power to control historical narratives in China. But in his new book, Sparks, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Ian Johnson profiles the people who've fought back to record – and report – the country's full history, including famines, virus outbreaks and ethnic conflicts. In today's episode, Johnson speaks with NPR's John Ruwitch about how the advancement of technologies like PDFs, digital cameras and VPNs have allowed journalists, filmmakers and artists to correct China's collective memory.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Salem Witch Trials

In 1692, in the town of Salem, Massessechuets, two young girls made claims that other members of their community were witches.

These accusations soon spiraled out of control, resulting in over 200 people being charged with witchcraft and the deaths of 20.

It remains one of the most notable cases of mass hysteria and religious intolerance in the history of the Americas.

Learn more about the Salem Witch Trials, why they happened, and their aftermath on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Ohio’s Big Choice (Live from Cleveland!)

Guest host Alyssa Mastromonaco joins Jon, Jon, Tommy, and Dan live from Cleveland, Ohio. As Israel launches its ground invasion, the war in Gaza continues to shake up U.S. politics. Donald Trump promises to expand his Muslim ban and deport pro-Palestinian protestors, while Joe Biden tries to navigate the views of an increasingly divided Democratic Party. With a little over two months left until the Iowa caucuses, the Republican primary field starts to shrink even if Trump’s lead is growing. Then, Congresswoman Emilia Sykes and Pro-Choice Ohio’s Kellie Copeland join to break down the current state of Ohio politics ahead of next week’s big election that will decide the fate of abortion access in the state.
