For a few extra bucks, she signs on to help an old friend, retired police detective Erma Porrocks, renovate her house, but of course nothing ever goes smoothly in the life of Lillian Byrd. The end of her first day on the job yields a partially demolished wall, a mysterious stash of cash, and a fresh corpse. And Lillian's attentions are diverted by the appearance of a drop-dead gorgeous neighbor. In trying to figure out the twisted facts, Lillian uncovers greed, deception, and love, not necessarily in that order! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dina Pearlman.

    Maverick author Hunter S. Thompson introduced the world to "gonzo journalism" with this cult classic that shot back up the best-seller lists after Thompson's suicide in 2005. No book ever written has more perfectly captured the spirit of the 1960s counterculture. In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The disinformation age is drowning us in a deluge of data, "facts" and opinion. It consumes our attention. The result of this deficit of attention is the rise of fake news, media bias, and a polarised society. Our capacity to reason what is happening in the world and to make better decisions has become incapacitated amid the cacophony. Instead, we outsource our thinking to others without even realising it. It may feel like we are making our own well informed decisions. More often than not that is an illusion driven by the narrative machine.Economist Peter Sainsbury unravels the truth about the power of media narratives, the breakdown in trust and why our attention has been diverted from what matters. Pay Attention offers 101 ways in which each of us can fight back. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Shoesmith.
