Everything Everywhere Daily - Ninjas!

Ninjas are awesome. They’re silent, they can turn invisible, and they can totally flip out and kill people, especially their mortal enemies…pirates.

…or at least that is what popular culture would like you to believe.

Were ninjas really as powerful as they are made out to be? Were they the ultimate silent assassins?

Learn more about ninjas, real ninjas, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Two authors on writing unlikable characters and the power of storytelling

The two books in today's episode point up how authors write and empathize with characters that aren't exactly likable. First we hear from Anthony Doerr who spoke to NPR correspondent Arun Rath about his Pulitzer-Prize winning novel All The Light We Cannot See. Doer talks about how we can better understand the moral choices people make by tuning into untold stories. Then, Scott Simon of NPR's Weekend Edition interviews author Yiyun Li about her new novel The Book of Goose. It's a story of two ruthless French girls who write a book that alters their lives.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Ada Lovelace: The World’s First Computer Programmer

Born in 1815, Ada Byron was the only legitimate child of the famous poet Lord Byron.

Unlike her famous father, Ada did not pursue a literary career. Guided by her mother, she took a diametrically different path studying math and logic.

At the age of 17, she had a chance encounter with Charles Babbage, who was designing the world’s first mechanical computer. It was the beginning of a groundbreaking collaboration that would only be understood over a century later.

Learn more about Ada Lovelace, the world’s first computer programmer, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Curious City - Dunning Asylum A ‘Tomb For The Living’

For a long time, Chicagoans were scared of Dunning. The very name “Dunning” gave them chills. People were afraid they would end up in that place. Today, the Chicago neighborhood, out on the city’s Far Northwest Side, looks like a middle-class suburb. You’d never know there was once an asylum there. On this episode we revisit the history of the Cook County Infirmary, later known as Chicago State Hospital but to most, simply “Dunning.”

NPR's Book of the Day - A futuristic novel about the powerful escaping to space echoes today’s world

Author Tochi Onyebuchi says that a majority of space stories he's come across favor those in power. Rich and white people get to escape in spaceships, whereas less affluent Black and brown people are left behind on an increasingly inhabitable Earth. His new science-fiction novel Goliath gets at this power imbalance, and the author spoke to Juana Summers about how it tells us so much about racial and economic disparities right now.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Getting to the Bottom of Shoes

It seems like the sort of thing humans have used throughout our existence, but historically speaking, footwear is a relatively new invention.

For hundreds of thousands of years, humans spent their entire lives barefoot. Then someone got the bright idea that it might be a good idea to put something between our feet and the ground, and from there, it was a direct path to Air Jordans, hiking boots, and flip-flops.

Learn more about the development of the shoe and what our feet would look like if we didn’t wear them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
