One man's reward. One man's journey. One man's fight for a new life.From the time Sammy Winds pulled on his first pair of spurs, he understood the difficulties of growing up in the new American West.

In Bed with Susie Bright 363: Why are Voters So Concerned with Obama's Sex Life?, Hörbuch, Digital, 33min, (USK 18)
Let's face it....good-looking politicians make Americans do crazy things. With so many sexually repressed voters out there, having a handsome black man on the opposite ticket of a dolled-up real-life Barbie is too much pressure. The public is responding with Bible-thumping, taboo-wielding zeal. Today, Susie takes a look at why voters are so concerned with Obama's sex life. Susie takes us through the entire gamut of public fears, from people's take on intermarriage and the "other", to what racism and scriptures have to do with voting democratically. Susie also takes a look at Palin's role in stirring up anxiety about black culture and the notion of sexually liberal black men preying on white women. And we can't forget the Republican's past ploys of using sex as a weapon to smear the opposition. Then, in the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a listener who wonders about his prostrate: "How often can I have anal sex, not because I like it, but for my health?" No really!

Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 536min
Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, ER, Cheers, Law & Order, Will & Grace… Here is the funny, splashy, irresistible insiders’ account of the greatest era in television history - told by the actors, writers, directors, producers, and the network executives who made it happen… and watched it all fall apart. Warren Littlefield was the NBC President of Entertainment who oversaw the Peacock Network’s rise from also-ran to a division that generated a billion dollars in profits. In this fast-paced and exceptionally entertaining oral history, Littlefield and NBC luminaries including Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Kelsey Grammer, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Julianna Marguiles, Anthony Edwards, Noah Wylie, Debra Messing, Jack Welch, Jimmy Burrows, Helen Hunt, and Dick Wolf vividly recapture the incredible era of Must See TV. From 1993 through 1998, NBC exploded every conventional notion of what a broadcast network could accomplish with the greatest prime-time line-up in television history. On Thursday nights, a cavalcade of groundbreaking comedies and dramas streamed into homes, attracting a staggering 75 million viewers and generating more revenue than all other six nights of programming combined. The road to success, however, was a rocky one. How do you turn a show like Seinfeld, one of the lowest testing pilots of all time, into a hit when the network overlords are constantly warring, or worse, drowning in a bottle of vodka? Top of the Rock is an addictively readable account of the risky business decisions, creative passion, and leaps of faith that made Must See TV possible. Chock full of delicious behind-the-scenes anecdotes that run the gamut from hilarious casting and programming ploys to petty jealousies and drug interventions, you’re in for a juicy, unputdownable read. ungekürzt.

Summary and Analysis of Worthy Fights by Leon Panetta , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
Oftentimes, society fails to realize the struggles behind closed doors that occur within the boundaries of government. Society fails to see the fights of those who refuse the political ploys of a government position to uphold democracy and ensure the law is upheld. Bill introductions, scandals, resistance, and party politics often stymie within the quagmire of political reform. This was the fight Leon Panetta notes in his memoir titled Worthy Fights: A Memoir of Leadership in War and Peace with Jim Newton published by Penguin Press. Many believe this book is strictly about the Obama Administration's mistakes or successes in security and foreign policy. It is so much more than that. This book is about the transformation of a man who has lived through one of the most productive eras in the history of the United States as political parties transformed within themselves. From meager beginnings as a child of Italian immigrants to a valiant political soldier in the Civil Rights era to accepting his appointment as the director of the CIA in the Obama Administration, Panetta fought against terrorists to protect the freedoms this country holds dear. Leon Panetta paints a portrait from his perspective as he employed traits he inherited from his Italian-born father and grandfather about his life as a first generation American-born citizen muscling his way through law school. You will also learn about the ROTC during his college years, his military service, and subsequently governmental politics. In his book, Leon Panetta describes and depicts many important points that shaped his future in the world of politics as he had a direct and indirect hand in many of the policies society now takes for granted. ungekürzt.
