In the late 19th century, bananas, a fruit that had been popular for thousands of years suddenly became a mass-market sensation.

However, just a few decades after it was popularized, the industry had to completely change what was grown due to a pestilence. 

As a result, the bananas that most people eat today are very different than the bananas that everyone ate before the second world war.

Learn more about bananas, and why your grandparents didn’t eat the same kind, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Jhumpa Lahiri is best known for her fictional stories about immigration; novels that usually explore themes that arise from living in between two worlds. In her new book of essays, Translating Myself and Others, Lahiri writes about the ways in which she herself has lived between worlds, and the other kind of writing she does: translation. In an interview with All Things Considered, Lahiri spoke to Mary Louise Kelly about how her relationship to language changed with translation and how it ultimately made her a better writer.

Ever since humans looked up at the night sky and noticed that some of the points of light moved, they have been aware of the planet Jupiter. 

However, it was the invention of the telescope that let us know just how amazing Jupiter was. 

Since then, we’ve sent eight probes to the planet to help us unlock its secrets. 

Learn more about Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For teenagers, every life question can feel existential. It was like that for Elif Bautman, who found meaning through literature and creative writing. Her new book Either/Or – the sequel to The Idiot – explores the life of an adolescent as she looks for answers to her questions in books. In an interview on Morning Edition, Batuman told Rachel Martin about living an aesthetic life, experiencing a sexual awakening through books, and how she sees herself in the protagonist.

John J. Miller is joined by David Hackett Fischer to discuss his new books, 'African Founders.'

On April 4, 1949, representatives of 11 North American and European countries assembled in Washington DC to sign a treaty of mutual defense.

That treaty, and the organization which it spawned, has served as the basis for defense policy for Western Europe and North America for almost 75 years. 

Over that time, the membership in the organization has grown and its original purpose has changed. 

Learn more about NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

During World War II, as American publishers sought ways to support the troops abroad, they began printing small, pocket-sized books that soldiers could fit anywhere. In When Books Went to War, Molly Guptill Manning tells the story of these little printed editions and how they served as a way of entertainment for soldiers looking for an escape from war. In an interview with Morning Edition, Guptill Manning told Renee Montagne about how reading helped soldiers feel like they were home.

When Europeans arrived in the New World in 1492, it was the beginning of a series of events that ws the biggest change in humanity since the discovery of agriculture.

The magnitude of those changes wasn’t even known at the time, or even for several centuries after the fact. It has only been recently that researchers have discovered the magnitude of what happened.
