Everything Everywhere Daily - The First Battle of the Marne (Encore)

If you think of the First World War, your mind probably turns to images of trench warfare and thousands of men losing their lives to try and gain just a few meters of land. 

However, in the first few weeks of the war, this was not at all the case. In fact, it initially looked like the war might not even last two months. 

What stopped the collapse of France and began widespread trench warfare was a desperate battle that took place in the first week of September 1914.

Learn more about the First Battle of the Marne on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Ruin their Crops on the Ground’ tracks the history and politics of food in the U.S.

Food is a source of nourishment, joy and autonomy for a lot of people – but in her new book, Ruin their Crops on the Ground, Andrea Freeman also tracks how the U.S. government has used food policy as a form of control and oppression. In today's episode, Freeman speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about how the book's title can be traced back to an order given by George Washington to destroy the food source of Indigenous nations, and how from slavery to Got Milk? campaigns to school lunches today, there's often a bigger political agenda behind nutrition education.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Once Upon A Time in Shaolin

In 2015, the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan released an album that was unlike any other in the history of recorded music. 

It simultaneously set the record for the highest amount of money ever spent on a work of music, and it was the worst-selling album in history in terms of unit sales. 

The reason why it holds both of those distinctions is because only one copy of it was ever made. 

Learn more about Once Upon A Time in Shaolin and the album which is unlike any other ever made, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The 15-Minute City’ and ‘Rethinking Rescue’ reimagine existing systems

Today's episode features two books that advocate for new approaches to big problems: urban planning, poverty, and dog rescue. First, Here & Now's Scott Tong speaks with Carlos Moreno about The 15-Minute City, his proposal for interconnected communities where schools, grocery stores and offices are all a short walk or bike ride away from each other. Then, Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd speaks with Carol Mithers about Rethinking Rescue, which profiles Lori Weise, aka the Dog Lady, and examines her belief that animal welfare and efforts to help people going through economic instability should go hand in hand.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘How to Leave the House’ follows a quest for a missing package

Natwest, 23, is about to finally leave for university. But a package he's waiting for has gone missing and – fearing humiliation if its contents are found out – he spends 24 hours looking for it all over town. That's the premise of Nathan Newman's comic novel, How to Leave the House. In today's episode, Newman speaks with NPR's David Folkenflik about some of the odd neighborhood characters Natwest bumps into along the way, and how their own concerns and their perceptions of Natwest completely challenge the notion of who he thinks he is as the protagonist of his own story.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Crisis of the Third Century

The Roman Empire, at its height, was a juggernaut. 

However, during the third century, almost everything fell apart. In fact, for a brief period of time, it arguably did. 

It suffered from invasions, plagues, a collapsing economy, lower agricultural productivity, and numerous political assassinations. 

They eventually solved their problems, but the Empire was changed forever.

Learn more about the Crisis of the Third Century and how the Roman Empire almost collapsed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘On the Edge,’ Nate Silver analyzes professional risk-takers

What do hedge fund managers, poker players and the scientist behind the mRNA vaccine have in common? In his new book, On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything, Nate Silver argues that they all exist in what he calls "the River" – a community of like-minded power brokers taking quantitative risks. In today's episode, Silver speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about what differentiates "the River" from what he calls "the Village" – think journalists and professors – and how cancel culture plays a role in this societal structure.
