Everything Everywhere Daily - The Formation of the United Nations

In the midst of the Second World War, the Allied powers began planning ahead for what the post-war world was going to look like. 

The Legion of Nations had failed to prevent World War II. If they were to prevent another major war from breaking out in the 20th century, they needed something else. 

Learning from the lessons from the past, they created a new organization that would ultimately be run by the winners of the war. 

Learn more about how and why the United Nations was formed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Hard by a Great Forest’ is a novel about returning home decades after fleeing war

The story of Saba, the protagonist of Leo Vardiashvili's novel Hard by a Great Forest, is much like the author's own. A young boy flees the Soviet Republic of Georgia with his father and brother as the country is ravaged by a war. Decades later, when his father goes back to their homeland and promptly disappears, Saba must face his family's past – and immense loss – in an effort to find him. In today's episode, Vardiashvili tells NPR's Scott Simon about being separated from his own family, and the feeling of time-travel he felt when he finally made his way back to Georgia.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Domestication of Cats (Encore)

Dogs and cats are both domesticated, four-legged, fur-bearing mammals. 

Beyond that, they really don’t have much in common. One of the things that they don’t have in common is how they wound up in the lives of humans. 

Cats established their relationship with humans at a totally different point in history and for a totally different reason. 

Learn more about the domestication of cats and how these wild animals wound up as pets on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Skyscrapers

If you were to pick a single visible icon to represent the 20th century, it would probably be the skyscraper. 

Skyscrapers didn’t really even exist before the 20th century, but by the end of the century, they became ubiquitous in major cities around the world. 

The skyscraper didn’t just appear out of nowhere. They wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for multiple technical innovations. Continued innovations have allowed skyscrapers to get taller and taller. 

Learn more about skyscrapers, how they were developed and how they kept growing on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Tehrangeles’ follows a family of aspiring Iranian influencers in LA

Once upon a time, author Porochista Khakpour worked as a shop girl in the luxury stores lining Rodeo Drive. She tells NPR's Ailsa Chang how excited she would get when Iranian-American customers came in — but how poorly those interactions would pan out to be. Her new novel, Tehrangeles, explores the story of one such powerful family in LA on the cusp of getting their own reality TV show. And as Khakpour and Chang discuss, it opens a whole lot of questions about whiteness, assimilation and cultural definitions of success.

In today's episode, MacNicol speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about pursuing pleasure, fully and unapologetically.
