Everything Everywhere Daily - The Northwest Passage (Encore)

When European explorers set off from Europe, many of them chased things that didn’t exist. The Fountain of Youth, the City of El Dorado, and Prester John were all things they pursued but came up empty-handed. 

However, there was one thing that these European explorers searched for that actually did exist, but not in the way they had hoped. 

While it was never historically relevant, it could play a much bigger role in the future. 

Learn more about the Northwest Passage, its discovery, and its future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Origin of Words and Phrases: Nautical

If you happen to be feeling blue because you feel like a loose cannon, fear not, because I happen to like the cut of your jib.

Perhaps if you have a square meal, you’ll be riding high, and by and large, you might avoid being three sheets to the wind. 

If you know the ropes and don’t cut and run, you might be above board without being taken aback. 

Learn more about the origin of words and phrases that come from the nautical world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Tías and Primas’ and ‘Linguaphile’ are new nonfiction books on family and language

Two new nonfiction books blend research and memoir to explore ideas of family, language and culture. Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez's Tías and Primas draws on her experience being raised in a large Nicaraguan family, one that she describes as messier than the typical nuclear model. Her relationships with her mother, cousins, and aunts shaped her view of the world and the female archetypes that exist within Latin American culture. In today's episode, Rodríguez speaks with NPR's A Martínez about how nuance is lost in Latina stereotypes, the cultural significance of ghost encounters, and practicing critique from a place of love. Then, Julie Sedivy is a linguistics and psychology professor who started speaking five languages before first grade. Growing up in diverse linguistic environments inspired her memoir Linguaphile, which explores the relationship between language, emotion and life. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Eric Westervelt about the way linguistic divisions reflect our social reality and the surprising strengths of the aging brain.

The Indicator from Planet Money - The story behind Cuba’s economic dysfunction

This week, a powerful hurricane hit Cuba, causing nationwide electricity outages — right after a string of power failures that have plagued the country in recent months. These power outages are a low point for a country that has struggled economically for years and is experiencing mass emigration.

Today on the show, we explain why Cuba is struggling to keep the lights on and investigate the root causes of the Caribbean nation's dramatic fall.

Curious City - ‘So many connections:’ Chicago indicator species are trying to tell us something

A Curious City listener wanted to know about the decline of frogs in our area. We looked into what’s been happening with these species over the last couple decades in Chicago. It turns out, frogs are some of the animals we call “indicator species.” How well or poorly they’re doing in their habitat can tell us about the health of our own. And they’re not the only ones; there are numerous plants and animals that serve as nature’s alarm system, so to speak. Erin Allen talks with conservation researcher, Dr. Allison Sacerdote-Velat, about the indicator species that are most vital to us in the Chicago area and why we should be paying attention.
