Ever since humans domesticated animals and realized they could extract milk from them, they have been making and consuming butter. 

While we might not think much of butter today, at one point, it was so prized that it was given as an offering to the gods. 

While some cultures prized it, others looked down upon it and some elevated the production and use of it as an art form. 

Learn more about butter, what it is, how it is made and how it has been used throughout history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Parents of disabled children are responsible for navigating a number of complex systems, from educational services and accommodation to medical care. Author Kelley Coleman, whose son has an undiagnosed genetic syndrome, says that parenting a disabled child can be hard–but hard is not bad. That's the central framework of her book, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child, which came out earlier this year. In today's episode, Coleman speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about their joyful and difficult parenting moments, how to access the support needed for kids to thrive, and teaching self-advocacy.

John J. Miller is joined by Tony Woodlief to discuss his new book, 'We Shall Not All Sleep.'

In 1938, writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster released what would become one of the most well-known fictional characters of the 20th century. 

Their creation was a hit and soon spread to its own line of comic books, TV shows, movies, cartoons, and merchandise. 

Yet, as popular as the character was, it has been constantly reinvented and even resurrected over the years.

Author Paula Hawkins is best known for her 2015 novel The Girl on the Train. Her new book, The Blue Hour, is also a thriller, this time set on a remote but idyllic Scottish island. The novel focuses on the death of artist Vanessa Chapman, who leaves behind her diaries and a piece of art that sets off a shocking discovery. The story that follows involves secrets, lies and murder. In today's episode, Hawkins speaks with Here & Now's Deborah Becker about how the ownership and interpretation of Vanessa's legacy is disputed among the book's other characters. They also discuss the complexity of long-term female friendships, how women are treated in the public eye and the unreliability of our own narratives.

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.
