    Sir Charlie: Chaplin, the Funniest Man in the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min
    See him? That little tramp twitching a postage stamp of a mustache, politely lifting his bowler hat, and leaning on a bamboo cane with the confidence of a gentleman? A slapstick comedian, he blazed forth as the brightest movie star in the Hollywood heavens. Everyone knew Charlie - Charlie Chaplin. Escaping the London slums of his tragic childhood, he took Hollywood like a conquistador with a Cockney accent. With his gift for pantomime in films that had not yet acquired vocal cords, he was soon rubbing elbows with royalty and dining on gold plates in his own Beverly Hills mansion. He was the most famous man on earth - and he was regarded as the funniest. He comes to life in this astonishing rags-to-riches saga of an irrepressible kid whose childhood was dealt from the bottom of the deck. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fred Sullivan.

    Heart of the Highway Woman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 48min
    Edie could barely remember her once-passionate past with the schoolmaster who stood before her desk. She recognized the dark, penetrating eyes and the dusty velvet suit which was only of value in the vague tall tales that he told about its acquisition. He was handsome, Edie had to admit, apart from the faint red scar around his left eye."So you see, Miss Teach," the schoolmaster said, clearing his throat, "We've heard that you have been training your students in - to describe it as politely as possible - the art of crime. There are rumors that you are graduating petty thieves and street urchins.""Now, I know better. Your students are high achievers, and against all odds, they have achieved so much. And they did not do so by disguise and trickery, but by impressing people in positions of power like Lady Triest. But if their fugitive fantasies are found out ...” ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Best of Car Talk (USA), Belted In, February 24, 2018, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    This week on The Best of Car Talk, Brenda's shoulder belt got stuck in her jacket zipper effectively trapping her in her car. Embarrassing? Sure, but not as embarrassing as Tom and Ray's friend who tried to drive her car from the back seat. Elsewhere, Ben's band wants to take his vintage Volvo on tour from Seattle, and wants to know if he can book any shows beyond, say, Tacoma. Also, Albee wants to sell a sputtering and stalling LeBaron to his mother-in-law, which is probably one way to guarantee she never visits; Judy swears her Olds is making noise. Her mechanics are telling her she’s crazy, but at least they’re doing it politely; and Gretchen thinks she may have gotten too good a deal from the guy who got the mud out of her Sentra. All of this, and lots more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: February 24, 2018] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

    The Venus Trap , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 629min
    Jo Atkins' sixteenth year was disastrous: She lost her dad, was assaulted by a stranger, and then had her heart broken. For the last twenty-five years, she's believed that nothing could ever be as bad again. She was wrong. Now, still smarting from her recent divorce, pretty, self-effacing Jo finally gathers the courage to enter the dating scene. She meets Claudio, whom she vaguely remembers from her youth, but after a few dates decides he's creepy and politely tells him "thanks but no thanks". But Claudio has no intention of letting her go. Instead of never seeing him again, Jo wakes up sick and terrified, handcuffed to her own bed. She is given a week to prove her love for Claudio--or he will kill her. Claudio, it turns out, is a man with nothing left to lose. The Venus Trap tackles the emotional impact of divorce, the perils of modern dating, and the age-old powers of lust and obsession. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sarah Coomes.
