In the novel Agatha Of Little Neon, a young woman, Agatha, is in need of direction after she loses her mother and finds it in the church. When Agatha and her fellow nuns are reassigned to a half-way house, they start to look inward and reevaluate their own lives. Author Claire Luchette told NPR's Scott Simon that this is a book about finding yourself, but also finding out about the darker side of the church: "My goal in writing this book was not to write a loss-of-faith story but almost a falling-out-of-love story."

Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate traditions that have been developed over centuries. 

However, traditions can vary from place to place and not all traditions are old. Some traditions are very modern. 

…and some traditions are downright bizarre. 

Learn more about the world’s strangest Christmas traditions on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Do you love what some people would consider 'low-brow culture?' Things like The Cheesecake Factory or the band Creed. Well then do we have the book for you! Author Rax King has written a collection of essays that are kind of like love letters to the things that give her pleasure, including but not limited to The Jersey Shore, in Tacky. She told NPR's Sam Sanders she thinks a lot about who gets to be tacky and the value of art and entertainment that might fall into the category.

In 1987, a German teenager and novice pilot named Mathias Rust set out on a two-week flight where he visited several countries in Europe. 

What was remarkable about the flight wasn’t the age of the pilot or the distance he traveled. The reason people still remember it was where he ended up. 

Learn more about The Highly Improbable Flight of Mathias Rust and what happened in its aftermath, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Sometime within the next week of my recording this episode, hopefully, a rocket will be launched from the European Space Agency’s launch facility in French Guyana. 

On it will be NASA’s latest and greatest space telescope. It is unlike anything which has ever been launched into space before, and if successful, it will allow us to see further than we ever have.

Learn more about the James Webb Space Telescope and how it will radically advance astronomy, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

When you think of an epic, what comes to mind? The Iliad, The Odyssey, maybe Beowulf? Well author Honoree Fanonne Jeffers points out that epics are almost always about white men. She told former Morning Edition host Noel King that she didn't want to tell that story because that story has already been told...many times. So, Jeffers set out to write a different kind of epic about heroic Black women in The Love Songs of W.E.B Du Bois.

The British House of Commons has been called the Best Club in Town due to the fact that there is a 1,000-gallon vat of Scotch whiskey located in the cellar.

However, I prefer to think of it as a roach motel. Because technically, once you are elected to Parliament, you can’t leave. It is actually illegal to resign from the House of Commons. 

Yet, people seemingly do all the time.

Learn more about the convoluted way you can quit the House of Commons on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

They are some of the most devastating natural disasters on Earth. They can strike without warning, or sometimes you might have several hours’ notice. 

Their effects can be limited to small areas, or they can devastate communities on opposite sides of the world. 

They have killed hundreds of thousands of people and have been responsible for billions of dollars in damage.

Learn more about tsunamis, what causes them and how devastating they can be, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The US Postal Service has played a key role in much of American history - from the Declaration of Independence to more recent mail-in voting. It was conceived of by the founders as the way to create a united, informed and effective American democracy. But today, the postal service's future is in danger. Winifred Gallagher spoke to NPR's Rund Abdelfatah about how the postal service created the United States and the case for investing in this pivotal institution.
