Everything Everywhere Daily - Michigan vs Ohio

Michigan and Ohio are two states renowned for their intense rivalry. 

When you think of the rivalry between the two states, you may automatically think of the rivalry between the University of Michigan and Ohio State on the football field. 

However, their rivalry extends far beyond that.

In 1835 and 1836, the two states came close to going to war over a border dispute. 

The results of that dispute can still be seen on the map today.

Learn about the history of one of the most vicious interstate rivalries in the United States on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In Emma Straub’s novel ‘All Adults Here,’ family is messy

Author Emma Straub has written a book about family dynamics and the mess and love that comes with them in All Adults Here. It's no secret that families are complicated. Straub argues a lot of our familial relationships are about watching each other grow up — and whether or not you allow those you love to grow and change. In today's encore episode, she told NPR's Scott Simon that even the imperfect bits are worth loving.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 32

The months of the year are named after Roman god, and some are named after their placement in the year. However, the first month to be named after an actual person was the month of July, which was named after Julius Caesar. 

What is surprising isn’t that the name of the month has stuck for over 2000 years, it's that more rulers didn’t try to name months of the year after themselves. 

Many more rulers would have done this if they had answered their subjects’ questions. 

Join me for volume 32 of questions and answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Lessons in Chemistry’ a chemist is the star of… a cooking show?

Bonnie Garmus' novel Lessons in Chemistry got a lot of buzz when it was first released in 2022. Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist but because it's the 1960s, she faces sexism in her quest to work as a scientist. So instead, she has a cooking show that is wildly popular. In this encore episode, Garmus told NPR's Scott Simon that the character of Elizabeth lived in her head for many years before she started writing this novel.
