Tina Knowles intended to write a behind-the-scenes look at her career in the music business. But she says that when she began writing, her own story flowed onto the page instead. In her new memoir Matriarch, the entrepreneur and mother of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles shares the story of how she helped her daughters become cultural icons. In today's episode, Tina Knowles speaks with NPR's Michel Martin about fighting to allow her girls to express their style, a memorable moment on set with the singer Maxwell, and Knowles' relationship with her ex-husband.

Australia is a unique country. 

By area, it's huge. By population, however, it is dwarfed by smaller countries such as Nepal, Ghana, Yemen, and the United Kingdom. 

By modern standards, the nation is quite young, yet it has a history that goes back further than almost any other country. 

…and there is also the thing with the criminals. 

Learn more about the history of Australia and how the continent/country came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Roman Empire was one of the greatest empires in the ancient world. 

It left us a host of languages based on Latin, as well as many cultural institutions which still exist.

While the Roman Empire is gone, when exactly did it cease to exist? 

Learn more about exactly when the Roman Empire fell and if such a thing even makes sense on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located off the tip of Cornwall, England, lies a small group of islands known as the Isles of Scilly. 

If you’ve never heard of the Isles of Scilly before, you probably just chuckled when you heard the name. 

If you have heard of them, you know that they comprise the extreme southwest point of the United Kingdom and are the warmest part of the country. 

These islands were also supposedly involved in a 350-year war with the Netherlands. 

Learn more about the Isles of Scilly and the 350-year war on this episode of Everything Everwhere Daily.

Two new cookbooks take different approaches – one modern and one more traditional – to Korean cuisine. First, Roy Choi is the co-founder of Los Angeles' Kogi BBQ food trucks, which put Korean-Mexican fusion on the map. He rose to fame cooking meat, but his first full cookbook The Choi of Cooking focuses on vegetables. In today's episode, Choi speaks – and cooks – with NPR's Ailsa Chang. Over breakfast burritos, they discuss the chef's quest to elevate vegetables and break what Choi calls an addiction to junk food. Then, Sarah Ahn became social-media-famous for posting videos of her mother's traditional Korean recipes. Now, the two women are out with Umma, a cookbook that focuses on preserving identity through recipes. In today's episode, Ahn speaks with Here & Now's Lisa Mullins about collaborating with her mom, the cultural history of kimchi, and the difference between Korean and Southern fried chicken.
