    Caught!: Shamwell Tales , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 532min
    Bow ties are cool...but secrets, not so much. Behind Robert Emeny's cheerfully eccentric exterior lies a young heart battered and bruised by his past. He's taken a job in a village primary school to make a fresh start, and love isn't part of his plans. But then he's knocked for six - literally - by a chance encounter with the uncle of two of his pupils. Sean Grant works in pest control, lives on a council estate, and rides a motorbike. Robert is an ex-public schoolboy from a posh family who drives a classic car. On the face of it, they shouldn't have anything in common. Yet Robert can't resist Sean's roguish grin, and passion sparks between them even after an excruciatingly embarrassing first date. Too bad the past Robert's hiding from is about to come looking for him. His increasingly ludicrous efforts to keep his secrets are pushing Sean away - but telling the truth could make Sean leave him for good. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Steadman.

    George Michael's Faith (eBook, PDF)
    On Saturday, June 28, 1986, George Michael picked up his tasseled leather jacket, walked out of London's Wembley Stadium and cheerfully tore up five years of glittering pop history. He'd just disposed of Wham!, the band he'd formed with school friend Andrew Ridgeley when they were teenagers, and now, at 23, he knew he was all grown up. He just needed to convince everyone else. Faith is what happens when you've outstripped your dreams, your peers, your friends and your fans, and no one's caught up yet. It's about pouring all of that confusion, insecurity and sizzling ambition into music that comes out confused, insecure and ambitious - and then selling 25 million copies of it. George Michael was always preparing for this and, in the process, he set a template for all disaffected singers making that move. This book examines that model and the themes that went into Faith - from engaging in politics to crossing over to a Black audience and writing classic pop songs to endure - and speaks to the surviving key players to tell the story of how it was made.

    Fresh Air, Nick Cook and John W. Jones, Hörbuch, Digital, 46min
    Aerospace consultant Nick Cook and artist John W. Jones on this edition of Fresh Air. Nick Cook is the author of the new book, The Hunt for Zero Point: Inside the Classified World of Antigravity Technology. In the book, Cook tracks down the secret history of antigravity research. It's technology that defies the laws of physics. Cook discovered that, during WWII, the Nazis claimed to have been close to antigravity technology. Also, the U.S. government allegedly conducted antigravity research in the 1950s and '60s. Cook is former Aviation Editor for the military affairs journal, Jane's Defense Weekly. Artist John W. Jones was working at a blueprint shop in Charleston, South Carolina, when a customer brought in some Confederate money to order a blowup. The imagery shocked Jones. The money depicted working slaves. Jones began to collect the brown and gray money with slaves picking cotton, corn, and tobacco, and loading barrels cheerfully. He then created large-scale, full-color paintings based on the images. The art is now on display at America's Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (Broadcast Date: August 14, 2002) Language: English. Narrator: Terry Gross.

    Greenpoint Doughboy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min
    When Irish immigrant Alex McKay is interviewed by a reporter in 1911, McKay cheerfully relates that America has given his family everything. This historical novel, based on a true story during WW1, shows how the McKays of Greenpoint, Brooklyn stood tall with America and paid the ultimate price of citizenship.  Greenpoint Doughboy, written by McKay descendent Peter McHale, shows you the many sacrifices Alex, his wife, and their four children make during World War I.  The Great War rages in Europe, and the McKays are all eager to do their part. Alex’s son John McKay, at the age of 21, joins the Fighting Irish 69th Infantry Regiment of New York City. During basic training in Manhattan, John befriends Dick O’Neil, a young man with a bright future, and Daniel Buckley, an Irish soldier with a tragic past. The three will face enormous challenges as they cross the Atlantic and join the fighting in Lorraine. Not everyone will make it out alive.  McHale takes you from the bustle and vibrant city life in the Brooklyn Irish community to the muck- and death-filled trenches of France. His story paints a vivid portrait of one family’s loyalty and love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Paul.

    Jane and Prudence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 556min
    Over the years, as Barbara Pym replaced Nancy Mitford, Georgette Heyer, even Jane Austen, as my most loved author, I devoured all her books, but Jane and Prudence remains my favourite. Even an umpteenth reading this weekend was punctuated by gasps of joy, laughter and wonder that this lovely book should remain so fresh, funny and true to life" - Jilly Cooper "The setting of this very funny novel, one of Barbara Pym's earliest, is an English village where Jane's husband is the newly appointed vicar, and where Prudence will pay Jane a visit and find herself courted by a fatuous young widower. Prudence, at twenty-nine, has achieved nothing in life but a dull research job in London and a string of dud affairs; Jane, now in her forties, was Prudence's tutor at Oxford. Jane cheerfully concedes that she is an incompetent housewife, but she hopes that the move to a rural parish may transform her into a Trollopean vicar's wife, as well as a crafty matchmaker. There are many comic complications here, as Jane learns that matchmaking has as many pitfalls as does housewifery" - The New Yorker ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maggie Mash.
