    Inside Stories, Hörbuch, Digital, 342min
    Although Prime Minister Robert Menzies used to say Australians were "British to the bootstraps", there were some who worried we were not engaging enough with the countries in our own region. In the late 1970s and early 80s broadcaster Tim Bowden recorded interviews with some of Australia's pioneering journalists for their work in the Asia Pacific region and beyond, including Margaret Jones – the Sydney Morning Herald’s first correspondent accredited to Peking, in 1973, and Pat Burgess, perhaps most known for his coverage of the Vietnam War. Douglas Wilkie was a war correspondent in Asia and Europe; Elizabeth Riddell covered the re-occupation of Europe from the Germans in 1944; and Diane Willman reported from Beirut from 1969-1977. These are the personal accounts and true stories from Australian journalists that have brought the news back to their homeland from across the globe. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Bowden.

    Walking with Verses , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min
    If life serves you lemons you are encouraged to make lemonade. Words often repeated but they are easier said than done. Very few people are ever able to pick themselves up by their own bootstraps. The truly successful will tell you that they had a source of help. When, through our own fault or fate, we are taken down the path best forgotten, turning to that source can bring miraculous restoration. Believing in a power greater than yourself is the beginning of knowledge. Having a relationship with the source of that power ignites the potential within that can survive the bombardment of whatever life throws at us. It is the beginning that leads to a fulfilled life. If we are attuned to the will of God we can use our experiences as stepping-stones to achieve a higher living. The Bible unveils God's message for all our circumstances while good people live the examples He would have us follow. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Timi Grogan.

    Up from Slavery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington detailing his slow and steady rise from a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton University, to his work establishing vocational schools - most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama - to help Black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating Blacks and native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students. His educational philosophy stresses combining academic subjects with learning a trade (something which is reminiscent of the educational theories of John Ruskin). Washington explained that the integration of practical subjects is partly designed to reassure the white community as to the usefulness of educating Black people. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Dinner at Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 453min
    It only takes a few days for Ollie D'Angelo to lose his boyfriend, his job, and his home. Instead of mourning what he doesn't have, Ollie celebrates what he does: the freedom to pursue his real passion - cooking. He begins Dinner at Home, a home-catering business, and it takes off. Late one night, Ollie catches Hank Mellinger, a streetwise hood down on his luck, about to rob his car. Ollie soon discovers that appearances aren't necessarily what they seem. Hank isn't a criminal caught red-handed, but a hungry young man trying to make a life for himself and the four-year-old niece he's trying desperately to take care of. Instead of calling the cops, Ollie offers Hank a job and a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Together, they discover they can really cook...and that their shared passion for food just might lead to a passion for each other. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Anthony.
