    Apple Pie & Scars, Hörbuch, Digital, 47min
    Who is Matt Falk? He's been described as "a genius child", "a prodigy", and "overdue on several payments". Matt's act combines observational material, impressions, and abstract comedy all rolled up into a fast-paced, high-energy ball, reminiscent of the great comedians of the '60s. His trademark larger-than-life, "broadway-esque" personality shines through in every performance, making him distinct and recognizable in this seemingly over-saturated industry. He delivers a combination of silly and edgy material with well-constructed and over-the-top punch lines. Matt's ability to make audiences laugh with his squeaky-clean material is not only a testament to his talent, but how brilliant of a writer he truly is. So, who is Matt Falk? Some describe him as the next big thing, but one thing's for sure...this is his audiobook. Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/roar/000150/pf_roar_000150_sample.mp3.

A shy, socially awkward teenage pilot with an itchy throttle hand, a Da Vinci-esque knack for sketching, and four generations of aeronautical heritage can’t wait to manifest his passionate aversion to the ground. He sees every hard earned dollar as a tick on the Hobbs meter. Every unencumbered swath of dirt is a potential landing strip, legal or not. His head literally in the clouds over airplanes and girls, the young Aviator can’t take a hint. Oblivious to the opportunities and history right under his nose, his jaunts over the Cascade Mountains of Washington State to fly 1940s-era taildraggers at Evergreen Field, where he lands in the company of local aviation legend Wally Olson. Three decades later, the reminiscent Aviator gets 20/20 vision from Dr. Hindsight. This audiobook is packed with adventures that provide a uniquely personal account. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Kollins.

    A Dying Breed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 773min
    A debut novel in the vein of Greene and le Carré, A Dying Breed is a brilliant and gripping story of the politics of news reporting, intrigue and blood set between the dark halls of Whitehall, the shadowy corridors of the BBC and the perilous streets of Kabul, in the shadowy le Carré-esque world of foreign correspondents reporting from war zones around the world. Carver, an old BBC hack, is warned off a story when a bomb goes off, killing a local official in Kabul, but his instincts tell him something isn't quite right, and he won't give up until he finds the truth.

    Randomistas: How Radical Researchers Are Changing Our World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
    Celebrated voice actor P.J. Ochlan lends his talents to this brilliant audiobook which highlights the use and impact of randomized studies as a path to provable truths in classic "Gladwell-esque" style. Social scientists have adopted the practices of more traditional scientists in the past few decades - using randomized trials to design policies aimed at improving educational levels, lowering crime rates, elevating employment rates, and improving living standards among the poor. Andrew Leigh and P.J. Ochlan bring the lives of these radical researchers to life as their experiments to overturn conventional wisdom lead to breakthroughs like finding the cure for scurvy and discovering what policies really improve literacy rates. Providing a fascinating account of key studies from across the globe and the challenges randomistas have faced in getting these studies accepted, Leigh reveals how these groundbreaking scientists have shaped life as we know it.    ungekürzt.
