Bay Curious - The Farallon Islands: Nice Home For Birds, Less So for Humans

Twenty-seven miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Farallon Islands jut out of the Pacific. On the clearest of days, the grouping of 20 islets is visible from shore. We dive into the history of these islands — from their earliest human visitors, to the people who have called them home over the decades. Then, we take a trip to the islands with reporter Izzy Bloom to learn about the animals that are thriving in this wildlife refuge. This episode answers a question from Bay Curious listener Ali Moghaddam.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of the Compass

One of the most important inventions of early humans was the compass. The compass has aided human navigation around the Earth for centuries. 

Despite being a critical technology in the development of transportation, it actually took centuries between its discovery of its underlying principles and its eventual use as a practical tool for navigation. 

Despite their origins over 2,000 years ago, they are still a vital tool today. 

Learn more about the compass and how it helped humanity find its way on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - The history of control over women and their bodies is central in ‘The Foundling’

Today's fictional book is set in very non-fictional circumstances. Novelist Ann Leary was trying to learn about her grandmother's history as an orphan and found that she worked at a eugenics asylum in Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. This became the basis of her story in the book 'The Foundling' which explores the state of women's rights, the relationship between it and eugenics, and a commentary over the long history of control over women's bodies.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Tragic Flight of Vladimir Komarov and Soyuz 1

Traveling to space is an inherently dangerous thing to do. In the first years of the space race, both the Soviet Union and the United States were fortunate in that none of their missions resulted in a loss of life. 

However, 1967 saw that luck run out for both countries. NASA saw the death of three astronauts in Apollo 1, and the Soviets lost their first cosmonaut during the Soyuz 1 mission. 

The Soyuz 1 mission is one that few people are aware of today, and it changed the entire course of the space race.

Learn more about Vladimir Komarov and the fateful mission of Soyuz 1 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Blurred family history gets questioned in Joseph Han’s debut novel, ‘Nuclear Family’

Today's Book of the Day spans across two places: Hawaii and the Korean Peninsula. The story, though, goes beyond the two realities. In Joseph Han's debut novel Nuclear Family, a Korean family goes through hurdles when one of them is haunted by a long lost family member, crosses a dangerous border, and questions the blurred history of their past. Han shares with B.A. Parker how his own background and upbringing helped tell the story of this book.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Past, Present, and Future of Coal

Ancient people around the world all made a rather similar discovery. In certain places, they could find a black stone in the ground which could burn.

For the most part, this combustible black rock took a backseat to wood as a fuel source, but eventually, it replaced wood and was the fuel source that drove the industrial revolution. 

Over time, other energy sources supplanted coal, and now coal appears to be on its way out. 

Learn more about coal, its past, present, and future as a source of energy, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
