That Fiend in Hell: Soapy Smith in Legend , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
As the Klondike gold rush peaked in spring 1898, adventurers and gamblers rubbed shoulders with town-builders and gold-panners in Skagway, Alaska. The flow of riches lured confidence men, too - among them Jefferson Randolph "Soapy" Smith (1860 - 98), who with an entourage of "bunco-men" conned and robbed the stampeders. Soapy, though, a common enough criminal, would go down in legend as the Robin Hood of Alaska, the "uncrowned king of Skagway", remembered for his charm and generosity, even for calming a lynch mob. When the Fourth of July was celebrated in '98, he supposedly led the parade. Then, a few days later, he was dead, killed in a shootout over a card game. Soapy Smith in Legend is a tour de force of historical debunking that documents Smith's elevation to western hero. Tracking down some 100 retellings of the Soapy Smith story, Spude traces the efforts of Skagway's boosters to reinforce a morality tale at the expense of a complex story of town-building and government formation. The idea that Smith's death had made a lawless town safe served Skagway's economic interests. Spude's engaging deconstruction of Soapy's story models deep research and skepticism crucial to understanding the history of the American frontier. ungekürzt. Language: English.

On the Field: On Leave: A BBC Radio 4 Dramatisation, Hörbuch, Digital, 43min
Annie Caulfield's comedy drama returns with a third episode in the On the Field series, originally broadcast as the Afternoon Play on 28 September 2010. Mahmoud the barber has exchanged Basra for Istanbul where his old friend Sergeant - now Captain - Billy has ended up as Military Attaché. After witnessing a traumatic attack on duty in Kabul, squaddies Kev and Damon opt for a bit of escapism. Damon fancies himself as a secret agent and is obsessed with James Bond. He persuades his mate to join him in visiting Istanbul's famous From Russia with Love filmming locations. First stop: Electra King's house. But they discover they're not cut out to follow in Bond's footsteps, and Billy and Mahmoud have to pick up the pieces when an unofficial trip to the Basilica Cisterns goes spectacularly wrong. Billy tries to give the soldiers some worldly wisdom to take back to the front: survival skills more useful than anything they'd learn on the parade ground. By turns funny, exciting, and poignant, the play gets under the skin of life as a soldier. On the Field: On Leave stars Paul Chahidi as Mahmoud and Paul Mundell as Billy. Also amongst the cast are Carl Prekopp, Osi Okerafor, Sal Osbay, and Hakan Silahsiz. Directed by Mary Ward Lowery. Language: English. Narrator: Paul Chahidi, Paul Mundell.

Instant Optimism: How to Be Optimistic Instantly: INSTANT Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
Do you ever go through tough times or face some form of hardship? Of course you do! We all do. But do you get nervous and feel down on your luck when experiencing those adversities or when things aren't going your way ? Because it's not what's affecting you but how you react to it. Regardless of whatever predicament you may think you're in...it's not the end of the world, and you can be certain other people have had similar experiences (or worse). Understandably, it's natural to fear the worst, but how many times has the worst you could possibly imagined occurred? Wouldn't you agree that this is just damage control so you won't be disappointed or have a harder time dealing with the less severe outcome than you had imagined? Yet on the downside...this holds you back from moving with your best foot forward. Ask yourself how many opportunities you missed and things you wished you could have done but didn't - all because you were forecasting dark clouds with a chance of raining all over your parade. Even for things you can't control, there's no point in getting all negative. Life is too short, so why waste it drowning yourself in pessimism? Instead, always have optimism. ungekürzt.

Providence Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 560min
From the introduction by Ann Hood: "Providence was founded in 1636 by a rogue named Roger Williams. Williams escaped here when Massachusetts was ready to deport him back to England. In the almost 400 years since, we've become infamous for all sorts of crimes and misdemeanors, including serving as home base for the Patriarca crime family for decades. My very own Uncle Eddie - I can hear Mama Rose screaming at me: 'He wasn't a blood relative! He was related through marriage!' - was gunned down in the Silver Lake section of town in 1964, just a year after he drove me in his white Cadillac convertible in a parade as the newly crowned Little Miss Natick. The writer Geoffrey Wolff told me that once he went to a barber in Princeton, New Jersey, and the barber asked him where he was from. 'Providence,' Wolff told him. The barber put down his scissors, raised his hands in the air, and said, 'Providence? Don't shoot!' I've asked 14 of my favorite writers to contribute short stories to Providence Noir. We have stories to make you shiver, stories to make you think, stories that will show you my beautiful, noirish city in a way it’s never been highlighted before." ungekürzt. Language: English.
