John J. Miller is joined by C. J. Box to discuss his new book 'Battle Mountain.'

The Netherlands is unlike any other country on Earth. 

What sets the Netherlands apart from every other country isn’t its size; it's the fact that 17% of the area of the country was once in the sea.

Turning the sea into land is no easy feat, but it is something that the Dutch have been doing for centuries. Not only have they expanded the territory of the Netherlands, but they have also created a system that protects the country from flooding and storms.

Learn about how the Dutch managed to reclaim land from the sea on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1582, a Japanese nobleman by the name of Lord Otomo Sorin sent a group of envoys to Europe. 

The entire round trip of their journey took eight years, and along the way, they visited several European countries and met multiple European heads of state, including two popes.

It was hoped that their mission would revolutionize relations between Europe and Japan.

Learn more about the Tensho Embassy and the first Japanese mission to Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The ancient Greeks had a polytheistic religion and a pantheon of gods. 

They didn’t just have many gods; they had a LOT of gods. Gods that ruled over many different aspects of human endeavor and the natural world.

These gods had a mythology that bound them up together in a very dysfunctional and often disturbing family tree.

You’re probably familiar with some of them, but others are pretty obscure.

Learn more about the Greek gods and their mythology on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Reid Hoffman has invested in AI for years. The LinkedIn co-founder said he used AI to vet his new book, Superagency, written with Greg Beato, which makes an optimistic case for an AI-powered future. In today's episode, Hoffman joins NPR's Steve Inskeep for a conversation about the book that touches on his decision to back Kamala Harris for president in 2024 and on his falling out with Elon Musk. Then, Bill Gates joins NPR's Scott Detrow for a conversation about his new memoir Source Code. Much of Gates' writing has focused on the future – but here he reflects on his early life, from his childhood to the birth of Microsoft. He speaks with Detrow about the death of Gates' high school best friend and the opportunity he saw in personal computing.

The Gates Foundation is a financial supporter of NPR.
