Everything Everywhere Daily - Introducing: My History Can Beat Up Your Politics

Today I want to introduce you to a podcast that I think you might enjoy. It’s called “My History Can Beat Up Your Politics.”


The host and creator of the show, Bruce Carlson, has been doing the podcast since 2006, making it one of the longest-running history podcasts in the world. 


We’ve all heard the phrase, “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”


Many people in the world today are very ignorant about history and are totally unaware of events that shaped the world we live in today. 


“My History Can Beat Up Your Politics” attempts to shine some light on events from the past which can help us understand the present. 


After this, you can hear a full episode of the podcast. This episode is about a time in American history when a war was going on in Europe. Americans were donating weapons and equipment to one side while debating how much they should be involved. 


Does any of that sound familiar? The year in question, of course, was 1941, not 2022. 


We look at the past, knowing how it all turned out, but back in 1941, no one was sure what would happen. They weren’t sure if the US was going to enter the war and, if so, how it would play out. 


This makes a study of the year 1941 an important lens to look through to understand what is happening today. 


So enjoy this full episode of “My History Can Beat Up Your Politics.” If you enjoy it and want to hear more, you can subscribe wherever you listen to this podcast.

Curious City - How often do judges get voted out of office?

Editor's note: This episode has been updated with new statements from Judge Matthew Coghlan. Every election, after breezing through their choices for governor, president, senators, and state reps, Cook County voters face the longest part of the ballot: Circuit Court judges. Though the candidates running for judge may be the most obscure, judges are the elected officials any voter is most likely to encounter and the ones whose decisions can have the most direct impact on their life. Anytime you get divorced, sue for damages after a car accident, or face accusations of committing a crime — a judge is involved. And once a judge is elected, it’s rare they’ll ever be removed from office. This week, reporter Maya Dukmasova from Injustice Watch answers a question about why that’s the case.

NPR's Book of the Day - The illusion and power of money in Hernan Diaz’s ‘Trust’

Money is all things... or it can become all things, says Hernan Diaz, author of Trust. In his new book, readers are presented with narratives on wealth, reality, and a woman set on separating fact from fiction. In an interview on Weekend Edition Saturday, Diaz told Scott Simon that he thought a lot about money in the writing of this book, particularly about its power to warp and test reality. And although he wanted this story to be about money and class, he also wrote a book that gives women agency in narratives they've often been erased from.
