Using an underwater vehicle, researchers say they've found the well-preserved wreck of Franklin's long-lost vessel, HMS Terror, deep in the icy waters of an Arctic bay.

MSF rescue birth
A doctor aboard an MSF rescue vessel in the Mediterranean tells us about rescuing a migrant -- and then helping her give birth to a healthy baby. 

Part Two

Cantor Fitzgerald donations

DC banned books campaign 
The public libraries of Washington, D.C. organize a citywide scavenger hunt around books that have faced challenges for being "smut", "pornographic", and -- in the case of "Slaughterhouse-Five", "just plain filthy".

Part Three

A feature interview with the director of a new documentary about the only financial institution in the U.S. to face criminal charges after the 2008 crash: a small, family-run bank that served Chinese immigrants.
