Everything Everywhere Daily - A History of Soap and Detergent

Sometime in the last 24 hours, most of you have used soap or detergent, either directly or indirectly. 

Soap, like many other things, was most likely discovered by accident thousands of years ago. 

Fast forward to today, and these products are used for cleaning almost everything, from our bodies to cars to dishes. 

Soaps and detergents, despite being similar products that serve similar purposes, approach their tasks slightly differently and are used in different circumstances.

Learn more about soap and detergent, how they were developed, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Trump Has James Comey Indicted

Just days after the President demanded the Justice Department prosecute his political enemies and ousted a career prosecutor who refused to comply, Trump's handpicked replacement indicts former FBI Director James Comey. Jon and Dan react to Trump's weaponization of the Justice Department and then discuss Jimmy Kimmel's powerful pro-free speech monologue, a government shutdown that now seems inevitable, and why Vice President JD Vance called Jon a "dipshit" on Twitter earlier this week. Then, Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff stops by the studio to talk to Tommy about his office's investigations into ICE and the defining feature of the Trump administration: corruption.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Peacemaker’ and ‘Tomorrow Is Yesterday’ are personal histories of diplomacy

Two new books dive into the details of diplomacy. First, in the 1960s U Thant became the first non-Western secretary-general of the United Nations. Now his grandson, historian Thant Myint-U, has written Peacemaker, a new biography of the diplomat. In today’s episode, Thant speaks with NPR’s Michele Keleman about his grandfather’s journey. Then, Hussein Agha and Robert Malley have been a part of negotiations to end the conflict between Israel and Palestine. In today’s episode, they speak with NPR’s Scott Simon about their book Tomorrow Is Yesterday, a history of that failed peace process.
