More than three years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Alexander Vindman is out with a new book on U.S.-Ukraine relations. Vindman, who was born in Ukraine, is the retired Army lieutenant colonel who testified against President Trump in the 2019 impeachment hearings. In his new book, The Folly of Realism, Vindman argues that the United States has taken an incorrect position towards Russia and Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union, a period spanning six American presidential administrations. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Mary Louise Kelly for a conversation that touches on what Vindman calls the Trump administration's "Russia First" policy, the case for investing in Ukraine and Taiwan, and when the conflict in Ukraine might end.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Can you take government spending out of GDP?
The Trump administration has some nits to pick with government spending: They don't think it should be counted as part of the country's GDP, that it should be counted separately.
In today's episode, we look at why government spending is part of the U.S.'s GDP and we speculate why Trump's administration might want to take it out ... and what that could mean.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Messier Objects
In the 18th century, a French astronomer who was a regular comet hunter kept finding things in the sky that weren’t comets, but they also weren’t stars or planets.
He created a list of these objects, not because he was trying to catalog the night sky, but rather to help other comet hunters avoid these common objects.
It turned out his list consisted of some of the most incredible objects inside and outside of our galaxy.
Learn more about Messier Objects, how they were documented and what they are on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Dream Count’ is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s first novel in more than a decade
Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie hasn't published a novel in more than a decade. After writing literary hits like Americanah and essays like the popular We Should All Be Feminists, the author says she went through a period of writer's block. But now, she's out with a new novel Dream Count that tells the stories of four interconnected women. In today's episode, Adichie speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about a phrase that lodged itself in the author's mind and ultimately served as the book's first line. They also talk about a loss that caused Adichie to question how well she knew herself and a real-life sexual assault case that inspired her to write one of the novel's central characters.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Artificial Turf
In 1965, the world’s first full enclosed sports facility, the Houston Astrodome, was opened to the public.
The Astrodome itself was a marvel of engineering, but because it was enclosed, the grass that was initially planted soon died.
It was replaced with artificial grass, which was basically a synthetic carpet that looked like grass but played and behaved totally differently.
Today, the next generations of that artificial grass can be found in stadiums all over the world.
Learn more about artificial turf, how it was created and improved over time on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
