Everything Everywhere Daily - The United States Presidential Nominating System

The United States Constitution lays out a set procedure for the election of a president and how a winner is determined from various candidates. 

However, it says absolutely nothing about how those candidates are determined in the first place. 

Since the first presidential election, the process by which parties have chosen their candidates has changed multiple times and quite dramatically.

Learn more about the United States Presidential Nominating System on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Fight Right’ analyzes how to communicate and connect through relationship conflicts

Julie Schwartz Gottman and John Gottman know their fair share about relationship troubles — they're clinical psychologists who specialize in couples' therapy, and they've been married for more than 30 years. Their new book, Fight Right, breaks down how to navigate conflict by understanding communication styles, assessing wants and needs, and looking for positivity in any approach. In today's episode, the authors offer NPR's Andee Tagle some step-by-step advice on finding connection through any argument.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Numbers Stations

If you ever stay up at night scanning through frequencies on shortwave radio, there is a good chance you might come across something very odd and kind of creepy. 

You will find a station that is nothing but a disembodied voice reading off a seemingly random string of numbers. There is often an identifying sound or song which is played on a regular basis before another recital of numbers. 

These stations have no call signs or other identifying information, and no one has ever publicly claimed responsibility for them. 

Learn more about numbers stations, what they are, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Yangsze Choo’s ‘The Fox Wife’ explores gender, murder and folklore in the 1900s

Yangsze Choo says she doesn't thoroughly plan out her novels – her newest, The Fox Wife, blossomed from that core idea behind the title, of a woman who also happens to be a fox. But beyond that, it's a story about a mother avenging her child, about a murder investigation in early 20th century China, and about family curses. As the author tells NPR's Scott Simon, foxes hold a wide range of intrigue and mystery in Chinese, Korean and Japanese legends — and it's these traits that broke open a whole world of secrets for her characters.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

In the Pacific Theater in World War II, the leader of the combined Japanese fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. 

Yamamoto was villanized as the arch-enemy of the American forces in the Pacific, and to be fair, he was their enemy. 

But there is actually much more to the story. Yamamoto was the loudest voice against war with the United States and was one of the only officials in the Japanese leadership who spent time in the United States and understood it. 

Learn more about Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, his rise and tragic end on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Battle of Tours

In the year 732, one of the most important battles in world history took place between the cities of Tours and Portier in France. 

On one side was an unstoppable juggernaut that had amassed one of the largest empires in world history in less than a century. 

On the other side was a vastly outnumbered force that lacked the primary weapon of the era, heavy cavalry. 

The outcome of that battle can still be seen in the world today. 

Learn more about the Batte of Tours and the battle that shaped Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Novels by C.L. Miller and Tracy Sierra find suspense in spooky, old houses

Today's episode features two thrillers that unravel in the darkened halls of historic houses. First, NPR's Scott Simon speaks with C.L. Miller about The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder, a whodunnit amongst antique collectors trapped in an English manor under very bizarre circumstances. Then, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly asks Tracy Sierra about her debut novel, Nightwatching, and how the author's own New England home inspired this terrifying tale about a mother hiding from an intruder during a blizzard.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Why banks are fighting changes to an anti-redlining program

In 2023, The Federal Reserve and other banking regulators announced they were making changes to how they grade banks on servicing local communities. This all stems from a 1977 law called the Community Reinvestment Act, which was designed to encourage banks to better meet the needs of moderate and low-income borrowers. However, major banking trade groups weren't too excited about the new rules and filed a lawsuit against the banking regulators last week.

Today on the show, we explain the history of racist housing policies in the United States and how that history informs the banks' fight with the government today.
