Bay Curious - The Sizzler: The California Origin Story Behind One of India’s Flashiest Dishes

Take any popular dish – pizza, ice cream, hot dogs – and try to trace its origin story. Chances are, you’re going to go on a winding road with conflicting accounts of who actually invented the dish, or whether it was invented by one, single person at all. KQED’s Silicon Valley reporter Adhiti Bandlamudi recently ate a dish so mish-mashed with foods from different countries, that she found herself on a food origin story journey that led her across the world and then back to the Bay Area.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Universe 25

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create a utopia? A place where all your wants and needs were taken care of and there was never any fear of harm? 


Creating such a world for humans may be far off, but one man did try to create a utopia for rats. He created a world that had everything they would want and where all their needs are taken care of.


It didn’t turn out like anyone expected. 


Learn more about Universe 25, and how a utopia turned into a dystopia, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Finding simplicity and radical acceptance through animal sexuality

A non-fiction science book about animal sexuality could read like a dry textbook, but Eliot Schrefer wanted his book to be accessible. Queer Ducks uses interviews with scientists, illustrations, and stories to help teenagers learn more about sexuality in the animal kingdom. In an interview with Sacha Pfeiffer, Schrefer said he didn't want his book to argue for human behavior based on that of animals, but rather to make the point that humans are not alone in their LGBTQ identities. And, according to Schrefer, there is a lot of simplicity and radical acceptance to be found in nature.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Never Give Up, Never Surrender

On September 2, 1945, on the deck of the battleship USS Missouri, the Japanese Empire formally and unconditionally surrendered. 


With that, the second world war was over and everyone stopped fighting, went home, and lived happily ever after. 


Except, not everyone. 


There were a surprisingly large number of holdouts who either didn’t know that Japan surrendered, or didn’t believe it. 


Learn more about the Japanese soldiers who never surrendered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - A new book shows how the South – and its history – shapes our nation

Frye Gaillard and Cynthia Tucker are old enough to remember Jim Crow in the South. But they recognize the part of the country they grew up in for both its flaws and its significant role in the history of the country. In their new book, The Southernization of America, Tucker and Gaillard make an argument about how the South shapes the nation's political and cultural landscape – for good and bad. In an interview with Debbie Elliott on Weekend Edition Saturday, they discuss the South's problematic contradictions and pushback now by some against learning about them.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Morse Code

In 1838, an American portrait painter by the name of Samuel Morse developed a system whereby signals could be sent down an electrical wire. 


This system allowed for information to be sent almost instantly over vast distances.


However, sending pulses of electromagnetic energy down a wire isn’t in and of itself communication. So, he developed a system to encode these pulses in a way that was legible.


Learn more about Morse Code, how it works and how it is actually still used today, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In Séamas O’Reilly’s memoir, a tribute to a widowed father raising 11 kids in Ireland

As a little boy grieving his mother, Séamas O'Reilly couldn't entirely grasp the monumental task it was for his father to have to raise 11 children all on his own. In his new memoir, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died?, he uses humor to get through all the sad, tragic parts of his childhood and to help celebrate the joy and love of his unusually large family. In an interview with Scott Simon on Weekend Edition Saturday, O'Reilly spoke about how his memoir is ultimately a tribute to his father who, despite the circumstances, was always a source of delight.
