In late 1944, the Allies were on a roll, and Germany was on the ropes. Some Allies, considering how fast they were advancing, thought the war might be over by Christmas.

However, Hitler had a plan. He would engage in one last desperate battle, which he thought would turn the tide of the war in the West and possibly wipe out the Allies completely. 

The result was one of the largest battles of the Second World War and the German military's ultimate failure.

Learn more about the Battle of the Bulge and how it shaped the course of WWII on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For centuries, sailors told tales of gigantic waves that they encountered at sea, and for centuries, scientists didn’t believe them. 

However, over time, evidence began to pile up, which suggested that the legends of these freak waves were, in fact, true. 

These waves are rare, still not well understood, and terrifying to ships and sailors because there is almost no way to detect or predict where or when they will occur. 

Learn more about rogue waves, how they were discovered, and how they occur on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Cindy Hohl, the current president of the American Library Association, says the political temperature surrounding book bans has remained at a boiling point. Over the last year of her tenure, Hohl has witnessed librarians exit the profession due to increased stress, ridicule and public pressure to remove certain titles from their libraries–particularly those related to race and LGBTQ+ identity. Although these battles are particularly pronounced in hot spots like Florida and Texas, they're being fought in communities all over the country. In today's episode, NPR's Andrew Limbong speaks with Hohl about what librarians can and can't do to push back against this cycle of censorship and what it's like to lead through times of crisis.

Humans have probably had the desire to fly ever since they saw the first bird fly in the air. 

Flying, as it turned out, was a very challenging problem for creatures without wings. 

Throughout the 19th century, many people tackled the problem without success. It wasn’t until the first years of the 20th century that the problem was finally solved.

In 1995, a mostly pre-digital age, it was much easier to get lost–especially on a strange road in the middle of the night. This time period is the setting for Simone St. James' thriller Murder Road, which came out earlier this year. In the book, newlyweds are en route to a lakeside cabin in Michigan when they take a wrong turn and discover a hitchhiker needing help. That chance meeting lands the young couple at the center of a series of mysterious murders. In today's episode, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks with St. James about weaving the supernatural into her fiction and the appeal of true crime.

In the 1860s, one of the bloodiest wars in the Western Hemisphere took place….and it wasn’t the US Civil War. 

It was a war between Paraguay and an alliance of Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, and it was one of the bloodiest ever fought in Latin America.

It was a conventional war that resulted in a guerilla war, which spawned famine and disease.

Learn more about the Paraguayan War or the War of the Triple Alliance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
