Everything Everywhere Daily - Timor-Leste (East Timor)

Located in the Indonesian Archipelago, it is one of the newest countries in the world, Timor-Leste, or, as it's sometimes known in English, East Timor.


While geographically very close, and pretty much surrounded by Indonesia, Timor-Leste has had a history very different from Indonesia. 


Their histories diverged when they became colonized by different countries and came to a head in the late 20th century. 


Learn more about Timor-Leste and its long painful path to independence on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘You Didn’t Hear This From Me’ is Kelsey McKinney’s gossip bible

Kelsey McKinney has built her career on gossip. The co-creator and former host of the popular podcast Normal Gossip has been interested in the topic since her upbringing in the Evangelical church, where she was taught that talking about others is a sin. Now, she's out with a new book, You Didn't Hear This From Me, which argues that gossip is a natural, morally-neutral social tool. In today's episode, McKinney joins NPR's Juana Summers for a conversation that touches on the author's religious upbringing, the relationship between gossip and misinformation, and reality TV as an opportunity for social learning.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Stone Yard Devotional,’ a woman abandons modern life for a religious community

In Charlotte Wood's Stone Yard Devotional, an unnamed narrator renounces modern life in Sydney, retreating to a cloistered religious community in her hometown. But soon after, a series of three visitations causes the narrator to rethink the choice she's made. In today's episode, Wood speaks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about the novel, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2024. They discuss Wood's decision to withhold judgement of her character's actions, the biblical nature of the story's disruptions, and Australia's position at the forefront of the climate crisis.
