    The Ballad of Reading Gaol , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
    Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years in prison, part of which he spent in Reading Gaol. About five months after Wilde arrived at Reading Gaol, Charles Thomas Wooldridge, a trooper in the Royal Horse Guards, was brought to Reading to await his trial for murdering his common-law wife (and promptly presenting himself and confessing to a policeman) on 29 March 1896; on 17 June, Wooldridge was sentenced to death and returned to Reading for his execution, which took place on Tuesday, 7 July 1896 - the first hanging at Reading in 18 years. The poem is dedicated to him as C. T. W. Yet each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard. Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Vendetti. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mike/002846/bk_mike_002846_sample.mp3.

    The Aristocracy of Talent: How Meritocracy Made the Modern World
    The Times (UK) book of the year! Meritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their birth. While this initially seemed like a novel concept, by the end of the twentieth century it had become the world's ruling ideology. How did this happen, and why is meritocracy now under attack from both right and left? In The Aristocracy of Talent, esteemed journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge traces the history of meritocracy forged by the politicians and officials who introduced the revolutionary principle of open competition, the psychologists who devised methods for measuring natural mental abilities, and the educationalists who built ladders of educational opportunity. He looks outside western cultures and shows what transformative effects it has had everywhere it has been adopted, especially once women were brought into the meritocratic system. Wooldridge also shows how meritocracy has now become corrupted and argues that the recent stalling of social mobility is the result of failure to complete the meritocratic revolution. Rather than abandoning meritocracy, he says, we should call for its renewal.

    Sporting Legends - Cliff Morgan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 38min
    Cliff Morgan is interviewed about his rugby career by the sports journalist, Ian Wooldridge. “Morgan the Magnificent” was the title given to Cliff Morgan by South African newspapers when he toured the country with the British Lions team in 1955. His success in that tour earned him the captaincy of Wales the following season. Cliff was born into a mining family in the Rhondda in 1930 and joined Cardiff Rugby Club straight from school, playing at fly-half. When his playing career ended in 1958 he joined the BBC, working as a TV commentator and producer. For the last ten years of his BBC career he was Head of Television Sport and Outside Broadcasts, with overall responsibility for the coverage of state occasions, as well as all major sporting events.After he retired from the staff of the BBC he became the presenter of the popular Radio 4 programme "Sport on Four". Ian Wooldridge was widely recognised as the best sports writer of his generation. When he died in 2007 the many tributes spoke of his honesty, his fairness and his enthusiasm for sport. He particularly loved rugby, cricket and golf. Ian was born in 1932 and after an undistinguished school career he entered journalism, working on several local papers. In 1961 he joined the Daily Mail where he first made his name as a cricket correspondent. He stayed with the paper for the rest of his career as a sports writer and columnist, covering every major sporting event and winning numerous awards for his journalism. He wrote his final column the week before he died. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cliff Morgan, OBE CVO, Ian Wooldridge, OBE.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge: God Is Back, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, NPR religion reporter Barbara Bradley Hagerty is a practicing Christian who interviewed mystics, skeptics and a wide range of scientists to see if her faith could really stand up to the latest scientific research. Her book is Fingerprints of God. She talks with Steve Paulson about what she learned.Next, Adrian Wooldridge is the Washington bureau chief for the Economist Magazine and co-author (with John Micklewait) of God is Back: How the Global Revival of Faith is Changing the World. Wooldridge tells Jim Fleming that unexpectedly, religious faith has not only survived into the modern era, it's thriving. Then, film-maker Gini Reticker tells Anne Strainchamps about her documentary, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, which tells how a group of Christian and Muslim women used the power of prayer to end the civil war in Liberia and end the brutal regime of Charles Taylor.Finally, Robert Wright's new book is The Evolution of God. Wright tells Steve Paulson that the history of monotheism was shaped by the political events of the turbulent ancient Middle East and that Jesus was not a prophet of peace but a typical Jewish apocalyptic preacher obsessed with the approaching End Times. Nevertheless, Wright says, humanity is striving towards moral truth. [Broadcast Date: June 18, 2010] Language: English.
