For thousands of years, one of the most terrifying and destructive diseases which afflicted humanity has been leprosy. 

Leprosy is a condition that affects the nerves and skin, and in extreme cases, it can result in the loss of limbs and other appendages. 

Those who were diagnosed with leprosy would often be consigned to a lifetime of social ostracism. 

Learn more about leprosy, aka Hansens Disease, its past and its future, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Professor Ashley Hope Pérez's book Out of Darkness explores school segregation in 20th century Texas through a fictional love story between a young African-American boy and a Mexican-American girl. But the YA novel has been banned in a number of places and effectively pulled out of several school libraries. In today's episode, the author tells NPR's Rob Schmitz how sexual content is used as a scapegoat to target books addressing race, gender and other identity-based topics – and how those battles ultimately set back strides in diversifying children's literature.

During World War II, allied soldiers would often spend their time listening to the radio. They could, at least for a little while, be transported back home by listening to popular music with the soothing sounds of a female radio host with a flawless American accent.

Along with the music, the troops would also get a healthy dose of enemy propaganda. 

Learn more about Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally, how they got stuck doing radio, and what happened to them after the war, on this Episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

About 2,500 years ago, a Greek philosopher by the name of Zeno of Elea proposed several paradoxes about the natural word.

His ideas were actually really simple, but they were incredibly difficult to explain away. 

For the last two millennia, philosophers have been trying to resolve his paradoxes, and they are still trying to explain them today.

Learn more about the paradoxes of Zeon and how they can possibly be resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located in the South Atlantic Ocean, situated between South America and Africa, lies the most remote human settlement on Earth.

There, a community of a little over 250 people eke out a living over 1,500 miles from the next closest humans. 

Getting there is difficult, and living there is probably even harder. 

Learn more about Tristian da Cuhna and how such an isolated community manages to survive on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today's episode is all about professional longevity. First, actor Steve Martin and New Yorker cartoonist Harry Bliss sit down with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly to explain their new comic memoir, Number One Is Walking, focused on anecdotes from Martin's life in Hollywood. Then, NPR's Elissa Nadworny asks author Nick Hornby about his new book, Dickens and Prince, which finds similarities in how the literary and musical figures both managed to pump out an impressive amount of material throughout their careers.
