In 1940, an investigation conducted by the British military found that only 1 in 5 of their bombers were actually landing bombs within five miles of their intended targets. 

This level of inaccuracy wasn’t just dangerous in terms of collateral damage, but it was horrible in terms of achieving military objectives. 

This inaccuracy has led to the development of ever more precise munitions, which is still going on today.

Learn more about precision munitions and how it is possible to drop a bomb in a pickle barrel, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Keri Blakinger says there are no rules behind bars. In 2010, she was arrested on a drug charge and spent two years in prison. And although that statement might sound counterintuitive, Blakinger says that inside the prison, no one is watching when it matters. In her memoir Corrections in Ink, she writes about her path from high-achieving teenager to incarcerated woman to reporter and writer. In an interview with Ailsa Chang on All Things Considered, she says reporting on the prison system has been meaningful because she gets to amplify the stories of those who are just where she used to be.

In the late 19th century, the American frontier became famous for its outlaws and gangsters. Men like Billy the Kid and Jesse James became notorious for their criminal exploits.

While this was happening in the American West, there were similar outlaws in the Australian bush. 

One, in particular, has captured the imagination of Australia and the reason he became so famous was…..unique.

Inspired by a true story from Oakland, California, Leila Mottley's first novel follows a young Black girl who is sexually abused by a group of police officers. Kiara is a 17-year-old girl who comes from a fractured, poor family, and the novel follows her story as she attempts to survive and thrive navigating so much with so little protection. In an interview with Ayesha Roscoe on Weekend Edition Sunday, Mottley talked about the rich internal world she created for her main character, adding nuance to the storylines of poor characters, and the media coverage of the case that inspired her book.

John J. Miller is joined by Fr. Robert Sirico to discuss his new book, 'The Economics of the Parables.'

Somewhere in your kitchen, you might have a bottle of olive oil. When you made that purchase you probably didn’t think twice about it, but believe it or not, olive oil used to be one of the most important products in the world. 

While today it is almost exclusively used for cooking, in the past it had a wide variety of uses, which is what made it so valuable. 

The olive oil you consume today is very similar to the product consumed thousands of years ago. In some cases, literally so. 

Learn more about olive oil and how important it was and is to the world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Four strangers sitting in the reading room of the Boston Public Library suddenly hear a woman's piercing scream. When the body is found, the four characters quickly become friends as they work to solve the mystery. It's the plot of Sulari Gentill's new novel The Woman in the Library, a thriller set in the cold winter months of Boston, Massachusetts. In an interview on All Things Considered, Gentill told Elissa Nadworny that the idea of strangers bonding during scary events came from her own life experience during the bushfires of Australia.

The industrial revolution began the biggest change to humanity since the dawn of agriculture.  

The start of the industrial revolution is largely considered to have begun with the invention of the steam engine. A device that could convert heat to mechanical work. 

Yet, the steam engine wasn’t developed all at once. It was an invention that has its roots over 2000 years in the past. 

Learn more about the steam engine and how it was developed, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
