Everything Everywhere Daily - The Geography of Mexico

Just south of the United States and north of Guatemala is Mexico, a fact which I’m sure all of you know. 

However, most people don’t know that much about Mexico. There are caricatures of Mexico, and many people are familiar with some of the tourist areas, but that’s about it. 

In reality, Mexico is one of the world’s largest countries, and its unique geography has influenced its history and economy. 

Learn more about Mexico's physical, cultural, and economic geography on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Germ Theory of Disease

For thousands of years, many theories have been put forward as to the cause of communicable diseases. 

These theories ranged from the religious to the magical and sometimes quasiscientific, but what they all had in common was that there was no proof for anything. 

Over the centuries these theories became dogma and often prevented a better understanding of diseases. It wasn’t until the 19th century that we got a clear picture of what the cause actually was.

Learn more about the germ theory of disease and why it took so long to recognize on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two summer mysteries unravel in ‘The Cliffs’ and ‘The God of the Woods’

Today's episode focuses on two summer reads trying to piece together some pretty big questions. First, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with J. Courtney Sullivan about The Cliffs, which follows an archivist digging through the history of a seaside Victorian house in Maine — and the generations of women who lived there — at the owner's concern that it's haunted. Then, NPR's Scott Simon asks Liz Moore about The God of the Woods, which grapples with the disappearance of a wealthy family's daughter from a summer camp in the Adirondacks in 1975.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Goodbye, Chevron. Hello, lawsuits!

The Supreme Court's decision to quash Chevron deference means countless agency regulations are now more vulnerable to being challenged and struck down. Think the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to boost electric vehicle sales, discrimination protections against transgender people, and rules that expand eligibility for overtime.

Yesterday, we explained the history that led to this moment. Today, we look at the how the decision will play into a wave of regulatory lawsuits.

Everything Everywhere Daily - A History of Textiles, Fabrics, and Cloth

I would say that there is a very good chance that almost everyone listening to the sound of my voice right now is wearing something made of cloth. 

Cloth, textiles, and fabrics go back a very long way, but despite their ancient origins, not every culture had them. 

Yet, where they existed, they were often some of the most valuable commodities, and they were, in some fashion, used by everyone from rich to poor. 

Learn more about cloth, textiles, and fabrics, their origin, and how they’ve changed throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘We Were Once a Family’ examines how the foster care system failed the Hart siblings

In 2018, Jennifer and Sarah Hart drove off a cliff in California, killing themselves and their six adopted children. While much of the media attention focused on the two women, reporter Roxanna Asgarian set off to investigate what had happened to the children's birth families, and why they'd been removed from their care. In today's episode, Asgarian speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about her book, We Were Once a Family, and the ways the foster care and child welfare system in the United States pushed the Hart siblings into an abusive and ultimately fatal situation.
