NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Soul Boom,’ Rainn Wilson calls for a spiritual revolution
Actor Rainn Wilson says he's "always identified as being a dork and a misfit and an outsider." In fact, he says that's probably why he found so much success playing Dwight Schrute in The Office. But in real life, Wilson attributes his dorkiness to how uncool it was to be "the God guy" in the New York acting scene, causing him to shy away from it. In his new book, Soul Boom, he details the monumental role spirituality now plays in his life. He tells NPR's Rachel Martin about his journey back to his faith, and why he feels it should be a guiding force in solving the world's problems.
Everything Everywhere Daily - The Great Escape
In 1944, several months before the D-Day invasion, a group of Allied prisoners of war hatched one of the most audacious prison escapes in military history.
Their prison camp was thought to be escape-proof, yet for almost a year, prisoners worked on tunnels right under the noses of their German guards.
Then on the appointed night, a large group of men escaped in the largest prison break of the war.
Learn more about Stalag Luft III and the Great Escape on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Miles Morales Suspended,’ Spider-Man grapples with racism and saving the world
Miles Morales, the beloved protagonist of Jason Reynolds' Spider-Man novel, is back. And this time, he's dealing with in-school suspension for challenging his history teacher at an elite Brooklyn private school. But between writing poetry about his new crush and saving the world, the young, Black and Puerto Rican superhero also stumbles into some major themes about racism and censorship. Reynolds tells NPR's A Martinez how his newest novel is a response to the book bans taking place across the country – and how he wishes it didn't have to be.
Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Tea
Sometimes over 3000 years ago, somewhere in Southwestern China, a leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant accidentally found its way into a pot of boiling water.
Noticing that the leaf had turned the water a different color, some person unknown to history drank the concoction and found that it was good.
That was the start of something which is today a globe-spanning multi-billion dollar industry that millions of people indulge in every day.
Learn more about tea, its origins, and how it spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Soil’ weaves together a poet’s experience of gardening, race and community
For poet Camille Dungy, environmental justice, community interdependence and political engagement go hand in hand. She explores those relationships in her new book, Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden. In it, she details how her experience trying to diversify the species growing in her yard, in a predominantly white town in Colorado, reflects larger themes of how we talk about land and race in the U.S. In today's episode, she tells NPR's Melissa Block about the journey that gardening put her on, and what it's revealed about who gets to write about the environment.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Route 66
In the early 20th century, as automobiles became more and more popular, the need for a national system of roads in the United States became more evident.
One of the suggested roads connected the city of Chicago, Illinois, on the Great Lakes, with the city of Los Angeles, California, on the Pacific Ocean.
In 1926 the route was established, following paths and trails which had been used for centuries, and quickly found itself as a central object of popular culture.
Learn more about Route 66, its history, and its legacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Bangles cofounder Susanna Hoffs’ first novel follows a one-hit wonder, 10 years later
The protagonist of Susanna Hoffs' debut novel, Jane Start, probably listens to Dionne Warwick to hype herself up in the morning. Start is 33 and living with her parents – her days of pop stardom, for one song, are 10 years behind her. But in This Bird Has Flown, a romantic spark reignites a second chance for her creative endeavors, too. In today's episode, Hoffs tells NPR's Andrew Limbong how her own experiences as a rockstar influenced the story, which she's now adapting into a feature film.
