Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Algorithms

Whether or not you know it, you use them every day. You were actually trained to use them as a child. Much of the world we live in today is directly or indirectly a result of their use. 


While they are ideally suited for computers, they were actually first developed thousands of years ago. 


Learn more about algorithms, what they are, how they work, and how they impact the world today, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘How to Be a Woman Online’ tackles online harassment against women

According to Nina Jankowicz, a fellow at the Wilson Center known for her research on online disinformation, women face a disproportionate amount of attacks online. These range from physical insults to threats of violence, and they're forcing women – especially younger ones – to censor themselves out of fear of physical or emotional retribution. In her new book, How to Be a Woman Online, she offers practical advice for those who, lacking institutional help, have to address these matters solely on their own.

NPR's Book of the Day - A queer, Afrofuturistic world in ‘The Memory Librarian’

Janelle Monáe's Afrofuturistic pop album 'Dirty Computer' was nominated for a Grammy in 2019. Now, Monáe brings the sci-fi world into literature through her latest collection of short stories The Memory Librarian. In an interview with Ayesha Rascoe on Weekend Edition Sunday, Monáe spoke about the nightmare that sparked this idea and how it prompted her to reclaim her full identity as a Black, queer woman. In a radical approach to love and community, Monáe hopes to help people feel free to be themselves, especially those whose stories are often marginalized or erased.

For a period of about 200 years, and really intensely for less than 50 years, the world’s monetary system functioned on a gold standard. 


During the gold standard, the world basically functioned for the first time under a single global currency. 


Economists have been debating the merits of the system ever since. 

 

Learn more about the gold standard, how it started, and how it ended, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Mortality, politics, and the power of poetry in Colm Tóibín’s ‘Vinegar Hill’

After more than a dozen novels and collections of short stories, Irish writer ColmTóibín recently published his first book of poetry. His new collection, Vinegar Hill, examines a wide range of subjects: from mortality, religion, and the current political climate, to the power of poetry in life's most important moments. To celebrate Poetry Month, Tóibín read some of his poems to Scott Simon on Weekend Edition Saturday, and said that he wanted to write without the usual adornments of poetry. In a way, he hopes the simplicity of his writing will have more expression and power.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Iffland Ring

August Wilhelm Iffland was one of the finest German actors in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 

That fact alone would probably not make him worthy of a podcast episode. What does make him worthy of a podcast episode is a ring that bears his name which has been passed down from actor to actor for over 200 years. 

It is a tradition that is still ongoing today.

Learn more about the Iffland Ring and the very odd tradition surrounding it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Thousands of years ago, enormous furry elephants roamed the northern latitudes of Europe, Asia, and North America. 


While these animals are now extinct, they were actually around much more recently than most people realize, and because of where and when they existed, we know a shocking amount about them. 


Learn more about Mammuthus primigenius, aka the wooly mammoth, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
