Everything Everywhere Daily - Lady Jane Grey: Queen of England?
Probably the most consequential monarch in British history was Henry VIII. He upended much of English society by changing the religion in the country from the top down.
He also left in his wake a century of controversy and turmoil about the succession of the monarchy. In all of that controversy, one figure wound up being an asterisk in the list of British Monarchs.
Someone who only ruled for nine days, if it can be said they ruled at all.
Learn more about Lady Jane Grey, the shortest-serving English monarch….maybe, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Arbor Day
Every year the last Friday in April in the United States is Arbor Day.
Arbor Day is not the sexiest holiday on the calendar. I don’t think anyone listening is getting the day off from work, and you don’t see used car dealerships offering Arbor Day sales.
Nonetheless, for over 150 years, Arbor Day has highlighted the importance of trees and has encouraged their planting, and it is something that has been adopted all over the world.
Learn more about Arbor Day and the importance of tree planting on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two novels offer new perspectives on the women of Greek mythology
Today's episode starts with a familiar feeling – the way your heart drops when a book character that you love doesn't get the outcome you wanted for them. But the authors we hear from both took that and ran with it, writing new outcomes for the women of Greek mythology they think are misunderstood. First, Madeline Miller tells NPR's Barrie Hardymon about her novel Circe, which details the goddess' backstory. Then, Tiziana Dearing at WBUR's Radio Boston speaks with Rebecca Caprara about Spin, her re-telling of Arachne the weaver's tale.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Tyranny of the Rocket Equation
In 1897, the visionary Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky discovered an equation that governed how rockets worked.
His equation, which was independently discovered by several other rocket scientists, immutably governs how we can send rockets into space.
The variables in his equation have determined everything surrounding spaceflight and rocketry since its inception and will for the foreseeable future.
Learn more about the Tyranny of the Rocket Equation on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
