    Oh the Glory of It All , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1283min
    In the most talked-about memoir of the year, a founding editor of McSweeney's gives us his wise, electric, and painfully funny story. "In the beginning we were happy. And we were always excessive. So in the beginning we were happy to excess." With these opening lines Sean Wilsey takes us on an exhilarating tour of life in the strangest, wealthiest, and most grandiose of families. Sean's blonde-bombshell mother regularly entertains Black Panthers and movie stars in her marble and glass penthouse, "800 feet in the air above San Francisco". His enigmatic father uses a jet helicopter to drop Sean off at the video arcade and lectures his son on proper hygiene in public restrooms, "You should wash your hands first, before you use the urinal. Not after. Your penis isn't dirty. But your hands are."When Sean turns nine years old, his father divorces his mother and marries her best friend. Sean's life blows apart. His mother first invites him to commit suicide with her, then has a "vision" of salvation that requires packing her Louis Vuitton luggage and traveling the globe, a retinue of multiracial children in tow. Her goal: peace on earth (and a Nobel Prize). Sean meets Indira Gandhi, Helmut Kohl, Menachem Begin, and the pope, hoping each one might come back to San Francisco and persuade his father to rejoin the family.With its multiplicity of settings and kaleidoscopic mix of preoccupations - sex, Russia, jet helicopters, seismic upheaval, boarding schools, Middle Earth, skinheads, home improvement, suicide, skateboarding, Sovietology, public transportation, massage, Christian fundamentalism, dogs, Texas, global thermonuclear war, truth, evil, masturbation, hope, Bethlehem, CT, eventual salvation...Oh the Glory of It All is memoir as bildungsroman as explosion. ungekürzt.

    In this riveting collection of true crime stories from the files of award-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author of 32 books M. William Phelps, someone tries to pin a gruesome murder on a horse, infamous serial killer Son of Sam shows us his true evil nature in a series of lost letters this psychopath never wanted you to see, and Sesame Street's Big Bird comes home to find a dead woman on his estate. These join several other tales only a master storyteller like Phelps can bring to life for listeners. The six stories in this collection have been published in various print and digital places but have never been brought together in one terrifying, mysterious listen. Phelps updates each case and puts his journalistic skills to the test in ways listeners will find all at once fascinating and horrifying. One story involves a young man who believes he's figured out the perfect way to commit a murder after binge-watching Forensic Files. In this opening tale, a Massachusetts man is stalked by a hired killer because of the information he holds in the case of insurance scam gone bad, resulting in savage murder. Next up is the story of a restaurant owner and her husband, enjoying a calm, peaceful life in the Berkshires, with all the charm and tranquility New England has to offer, until a bloody trail inside a barn leads to a gruesome discovery and a family's deepest, darkest secrets are exposed. Phelps also takes listeners behind the scenes of his hit Investigation Discovery series Dark Minds, revealing his investigative secrets with an intimate look at those serial killer cold cases that still haunt him today. ungekürzt.

    The Long Shadow of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    When Abraham Lincoln addressed the crowd at the new national cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863, he intended his speech to be his most eloquent statement on the inextricable link between equality and democracy. However, unwilling to commit to equality at that time, the nation stood ill-prepared to accept the full message of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. In the ensuing century, groups wishing to advance a particular position hijacked Lincoln's words for their own ends, highlighting the specific parts of the speech that echoed their stance while ignoring the rest. Only as the nation slowly moved toward equality did those invoking Lincoln's speech come closer to recovering his true purpose. In this incisive work, Jared Peatman seeks to understand Lincoln's intentions at Gettysburg and how his words were received, invoked, and interpreted over time, providing a timely and insightful analysis of one of America's most legendary orations. After reviewing the events leading up to November 19, 1863, Peatman examines immediate responses to the ceremony in New York, Gettysburg itself, Confederate Richmond, and London, showing how parochial concerns and political affiliations shaped initial coverage of the day and led to the censoring of Lincoln's words in some locales. He then traces how, over time, proponents of certain ideals invoked the particular parts of the address that suited their message, from reunification early in the twentieth century to American democracy and patriotism during the world wars and, finally, to Lincoln's full intended message of equality during the Civil War centennial commemorations and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. An epilogue highlights recent and even current applications of the Gettysburg Address and hints at ways the speech might be used in the future. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David C.

    Cold Cases True Crime: 10 True Crime Stories of Monsters and Serial Killers: Chilling Cold Cases True Crime Accounts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
    The world is full of mysteries. Despite the fact that people are living in a high-tech world, with many advances in science and technology, there are still many unsolved and unexplained crimes that occur over the centuries. It’s quite sad and truly horrible to know that there are people who have the stomach to commit these crimes. What is more frustrating is the fact that some of these crimes don’t appear to have any motive and are committed just for the fun of it. Others are killed simply because they are at the wrong place at the wrong time. People become aware of the many gruesome crimes that occur due to being publicized in the media. Unfortunately there are still many of these crimes that are left unsolved, and, however sad it may be, some of those crimes may remain as cold cases forever. People would like to think that these killers will eventually be caught and brought to justice. But that is not always the case. Some of these murderers elude justice for years, even for decades, and in some cases they are never caught and simply take that secret to their graves. The mind of a killer is often hard to understand and even harder to get inside of. Here is a preview of what you'll hear:Cold Cases True Crime – The Burger Chef MassacreCold Cases True Crime – The Oklahoma Girl Scout MurdersCold Cases True Crime – The Cabin 28: Keddie MurdersCold Cases True Crime – The Investor MurdersCold Cases True Crime – Bear Brooks MurdersCold Cases True Crime – The Murder of Dian FosseyCold Cases True Crime – Fager Family MurderCold Cases True Crime – The Murder of Deanna CreminMuch, much more! ungekürzt.

    Science of Success: How Successful People Think Differently: Strategies Great Minds Use to Achieve Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
    Has it ever occurred to you that some people are able to attain so much success at social, professional, or personal level whereas others are struggling to get even a fraction of that success? Well, this is a common scene in our society today. For instance, two or more people can commit to the same goal of losing weight by going to the gym. One of them may manage to follow through while the other one falls by the wayside. The question that we always ask ourselves is: How do successful people do things differently? This is the science and secret of success. Whether it is about losing weight, learning a new skill, or starting a business, successful people have a game plan that is different in structure and principle from the one used by people who fail. Is there a possibility that successful people are wired differently from the rest of the pack? Is there something in their DNA that is so unique to them? To answer these questions, a lot of theories have been put forward. Surprisingly, some of them have nothing to do with formal education. It is possible to see thousands of people unemployed, broke, and unhappy, even with briefcases full of doctorate degrees. On the other hand, you may see tens of thousands of happy, rich, and independent people who only managed to earn a high school education. While formal education is important, research shows that a lack of it does not automatically equate to a lack of success. As long as you have basic formal education such as a college diploma, and you are willing to invest in yourself, then you will ultimately succeed. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter - The Suicides at Sevens Hall, The Fear of Knowing, The Call of the Dead and The Sacrifice: A Radio Dramatization, Hörbuch, Digital, 105min
    In science one reasons by analogy, so when mankind is confronted by experiences entirely beyond its understanding it takes an individual with intelligence and bravery in equal measure to push back the boundaries of the unknown…In London, in the 1900s, the solutions to supernatural occurrences were investigated by a man who was famous for his dealings with the unknown and the worlds of the dead: Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter, (or as he prefers to call it, a psychical detective).

Episode 22 - "The Fear Of Knowing" - Jarrem Lee is used to confronting ghosts, but when the spectra claims to be himself with a warning from the future, it complicates matters. Is this ghost to be believed, or is Lee but a pawn in a more intricate game? Episode 23 - "The Call of The Dead" - When a wife dies, it's natural that a husband should grieve, but Robert Castlewood isn't in mourning, he's convinced he can still speak to his dead wife.
