Everything Everywhere Daily - The Arctic and the North Pole

Located north of 66°33′ North latitude is the region we call the Arctic. 

The Arctic is unlike any other environment on Earth, even the Antarctic. It is sparsely populated and has unique wildlife and a biome that can’t be found anywhere else. 

It completely dark in the winter and the sun never sets in the summer…and of course, it is really cold. 

Learn more about the Arctic and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of the Circus

For generations, families have attended circuses. 

Circuses were a collection of animals, acrobats, clowns, and other exotic oddities. 

In an era before television and the internet, circuses were a major form of entertainment for many people. 

Over time, however, circuses have changed and evolved into something very different in the 21st century. 

Learn more about circuses, how they came about and how they changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Silurian Hypothesis (Encore)

The universe is billions of years old. 

If, in the future, humanity were to explore the galaxy and visit other planets around other stars, we might be visiting places where at one time, an advanced civilization once existed. 

However, if such a civilization existed, it might have been millions of years in the past. If that was the case, how would we even know that it existed? 

Also, what if we ask that same question of Earth rather than of alien worlds?

Learn more about the Silurian Hypothesis on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two books revisit the cultural impacts of Tina Turner, Duke Ellington and more

Today's episode highlights two books that revisit the cultural contributions of some pretty big names. First, Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes speaks with Deborah Paredez about American Diva, which reclaims the word 'diva' to celebrate the singularity of women like Serena Williams and Celia Cruz. Then, NPR's Michel Martin speaks with Larry Tye about The Jazzmen, which traces the role that Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Count Basie played in the civil rights movement.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Why big banks aren’t interested in your savings account

Some bank customers are jumping to high-yield savings accounts to escape the shockingly low interest rates of personal savings accounts at big banks. So why aren't these banks raising their rates to attract more customers? Today on the show, we explore why big banks may not care about your savings account anymore.

Bay Curious - Ice Plant is Pretty but Pernicious

If you've been anywhere along the California coast, you've seen it—ice plant. It's a low, spreading succulent with finger-like leaves and bright pink or yellow flowers. Given its prevalence on our shorelines, you might assume ice plant is meant to be there. But it's actually an invasive species that threatens native plants and wildlife. This week on the show, producer Pauline Bartolone digs into the effects of this pretty pest, and some other herbaceous interlopers.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origin of Words and Phrases: Food

We all eat every day. We use English words for the foods and meals we eat without even thinking about it. 

But where did those words come from, and what did they originally mean? What is the difference between dinner and supper? 

Were the modern distinctions we have between fruits and vegetables always there, and for that matter, was meat always meat?

Learn more about the origins of English words pertaining to food on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Notes

  • This episode was pieced together from a ton of little fragments but I wanted to steer folks to a couple of resources in particular: this excellent article from a few years back in the Toronto Star by Katie Daubs, and this documentary from filmmaker, Amy Nicholson, that primarily uses the Zipper as a way to talk about changes at Coney Island but has some great details from Harold Chance and his sons.
