Everything Everywhere Daily - The Himalayas

Located between China and India, Pakistan, Buthan, and Nepal is the world’s highest chain of mountains, The Himalayas. 

The Himalayas aren’t just very tall, picturesque mountains that are the home of Mount Everest. They are perhaps the most important mountain range on Earth. 

The Himalayas serve as the source of several of the world’s most important rivers. It is responsible for weather patterns throughout much of Asia, and it has served an important role throughout history in trade, religion, and geopolitics. 

Learn more about the Himalayas, how they were formed and the role they play in the world today on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Introducing: “What It’s Like to Be…”

Sharing an episode of “What It’s Like to Be...” from author Dan Heath. On the podcast, Dan explores the world of work, one profession at a time, and interviews people who love what they do. He finds out: What does a couples therapist think when a friend asks for relationship advice? How does a stand-up comedian come up with new material? What are the clues that suggest fraud to a forensic accountant? If you’ve ever met someone whose work you were curious about, and you had 100 nosy questions but were too polite to ask... this is the show for you. In this preview, Dan talks to an archaeologist about unearthing ancient wine cellars, finding the right places to dig, tracing the arc of lost civilization, and what archaeologists of the future will make of us.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Ultraviolet’ follows a young boy going through puberty and first love

Aida Salazar's new book, Ultraviolet, has a lot in common with Judy Blume's Forever, but from the point of view of an eighth grade boy; it's all about Elio Solis grappling with his changing body, his first girlfriend and his family life. In today's episode, Salazar tells Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes how watching her own son grow up inspired the events of the middle grade book, and they discuss how conversations of consent, masculinity and sex education are just as important for young men as they are for young women.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Morgenthau Plan (Encore)

In September 1944, despite over half a year still remaining in World War II, the Allies began preparing for an eventual post-war world.

One of the biggest questions being discussed was what to do with Germany. After two world wars with Germany in just a quarter century, no one wanted a third.

One American official developed a plan that would basically destroy Germany as a modern country to prevent them from ever making war again.

Learn more about the Morgenthau Plan and the attempt to destroy Germany on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Beautiful Days,’ Zach Williams ponders parenthood, reality and the uncanny

Zach Williams' collection of short stories, Beautiful Days, has earned high praise for the unsettling way it examines mundane, everyday life. In today's episode, Williams tells NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer how becoming a dad inspired the anxiety and wonder of parenthood that shows up throughout Beautiful Days, and the two get to talking about why he chose to focus on the "quickness and musicality" of short stories over writing a novel.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Apollo 1 Disaster

In the early 1960s, the United States was always a step behind the Soviet Union in the space race. 

By the mid-1960s, the Americans had caught up. They didn’t have many glamorous firsts, but they were doing increasingly difficult things in space.

All of that came crashing to a halt on January 27, 1967, when three astronauts died in what was a seemingly routine training exercise. 

Learn more about the Apollo 1 Disaster, how it happened, and how it influenced the future of the Apollo program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
