Everything Everywhere Daily - The Mongol Invasions of Japan

In the late 13th century, the Mongol Empire was at the peak of its power. 

It was at this time that the Mongol Emperor of China, Kubli Khan, set his eyes on the island of Japan. 

On two separate occasions, the Mongols assembled the world’s largest amphibious fleet in world history. Both times, they found the limits of their military conquests.

Learn more about the Mongol invasions of Japan on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Inspired by P-22, ‘Open Throat’ follows a queer mountain lion’s lonely survival in LA

When P-22 – the puma that lived in LA's Griffith Park – died in December, Angelenos mourned the loss of one of their wildest celebrities. In his new book, Open Throat, Henry Hoke pays homage to the late cat in a different way; he takes on the voice of a mountain lion living beneath the Hollywood sign, pondering community and climate change and gender identity. In today's episode, Hoke speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about what P-22 represented for Los Angeles residents, and why writing from his perspective raises so many questions about our own humanity and isolation.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Between Two Moons’ is a coming-of-age story set during Ramadan

The summer after high school graduation is full of promise. But for twin sisters Amira and Lina, the return of their brother from prison complicates some of those teenage plans. In Aisha Abdel Gawad's new novel, Between Two Moons, the sisters' family finds it's struggling with tensions in and outside of the home during the holy month of Ramadan. In today's episode, Gawad speaks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about why she wanted to paint a nuanced portrait of the Muslim-American experience and how real-life NYPD surveillance of Arab communities played a role in her writing.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Gunung Padang

Located on the island of Java in Indonesia, just 100 kilometers from the capital of Jakarta, lies what might be one of the most important archeology sites in the world. 

While it has been known to locals for centuries and to professional archeologists for over 100 years, it has only been seriously studied in the last several decades. 

Some of the estimates of the age of this site, if true, would radically transform what we know about early human civilization.

Learn more about Gunung Padang, perhaps the oldest and largest pyramid in the world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Built from the Fire’ traces the impact of the Tulsa Race Massacre

Oklahoma state Rep. Regina Goodwin is a descendant of survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The racist violence, which killed hundreds of Black Tulsans and burned the city's Greenwood District – known as Black Wall Street – is the subject of journalist Victor Luckerson's new book, Built from the Fire. In today's episode, both Goodwin and Luckerson join NPR's Michel Martin to discuss how for more than a century, Greenwood residents have rebuilt their community time and time again, even in the face of urban renewal policies and gentrification practices.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Esperanto and the Search for a Global Language (Encore)

In the 1880s, a Polish ophthalmologist set out to create a universal language. A language that could be a second language for everyone around that world that no one country or one people would control. 

It was a good idea, but things didn’t quite pan out as he had hoped, and along the way, there was shockingly violent resistance to this new language. 

Learn more about Esperanto, how it was developed, and its status in the world today on this episode of ĉio ĉie ĉiutage.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Night the Stars Fell Down

In the early morning of November 13, 1833, one of the greatest astronomical spectacles in recorded history took place.

It was seen by millions of people, and no one was sure what was happening. Some thought it was the end of the world or judgment day. 

Both common people and scientists recorded the event, and it turned out that the explanation for what happened was just an extraordinary occurrence of a very ordinary event.
