Title: Box Office Poison: Hollywood's Story in a Century of Flops Author: Tim Robey Narrator: Tim Robey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 57 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: "A wild success." — Publishers Weekly "A surefire hit." —Library Journal STARRED review "A brilliant star turn." —Andrew O’Hagan A riotous and revealing story of Hollywood’s most spectacular flops and how they ended careers, bankrupted studios and changed film history. "Failure fascinates, for all the reasons that success is a drag…” From grand follies to misunderstood masterpieces, disastrous sequels to catastrophic literary adaptations, Box Office Poison tells a hugely entertaining alternative history of Hollywood, through a century of its most notable flops. What can these films tell us about the Hollywood system, the public’s appetite–or lack of it–and the circumstances that saw such flops actually made? Away from the canon, this is the definitive take on these ill-fated, but essential celluloid failures. Robey covers a vast century of flops, including: Intolerance; Queen Kelly; Freaks; Sylvia Scarlett; The Magnificent Ambersons; Land of the Pharoahs; Doctor Dolittle; Sorcerer; Dune; The Adventures of Baron Munchausen; Nothing But Trouble; The Hudsucker Proxy; Cutthroat Island; Speed 2: Cruise Control; Babe: Pig in the City; Supernova; Rollerball; The Adventures of Pluto Nash; Gigli; Alexander; Catwoman; A Sound of Thunder; Speed Racer; Synecdoche, New York; Pan; and Cats.

Title: Mondrian: His Life, His Art, His Quest for the Absolute Author: Nicholas Fox Weber Narrator: Patty Nieman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 25 hours 33 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The extraordinary and surprising life of Piet Mondrian, whose unprecedented geometric art revolutionized modern painting, architecture, graphic art, fashion design, and more—from acclaimed cultural historian Nicholas Fox Weber 'As fastidiously passionate as his subject's paintings. How wonderful it is to read of Mondrian's gaiety and zest. . . as well as his rigour and unrelenting commitment to his own, absolutely his own, view of art and the world.' —John Banville, national bestselling author of The Lock-Up In the early 1920s, surrounded by the roaring streets of avant-garde Paris, Piet Mondrian began creating what would become some of the most recognizable abstract paintings of the 20th century. With rectangles of primary colors against a dazzling white background, this was geometric abstraction in its purest form. These revolutionary compositions exhilarated, intoxicated, confused, and enraged the international public—and changed the course of modern art forever. Now, for the first time, Mondrian emerges alongside his thrilling art. Here is the life of an elusive modern master: from his youth in a religious household in the Netherlands where he first began painting Dutch farmhouses and sand dunes, to his move to Paris where he embraced the work of Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, and Cézanne, to the 1920s and onward where, surviving the turmoil of two world wars and embracing a rapidly shifting culture, Mondrian challenged the concept of art and invented a new world of undiluted colors and rhythmic straight lines. His work would go on to affect painting, architecture, fashion, and design in decades to come. Here is also an intimate portrait of a complex artist, his solitude and avoidance of intimacy, his eccentricities and his philosophy, his passion for ballroom dancing, and his unwavering belief in art as a vehicle to reveal universal truths.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752256Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752256 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Few Words in Defense of Our Country: The Biography of Randy Newman Author: Robert Hilburn Narrator: Rob Hilburn Jr. Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The definitive biography of songwriter Randy Newman, told with his full cooperation, by acclaimed biographer and longtime Los Angeles Times music critic, Robert Hilburn   Randy Newman is widely hailed as one of America’s all-time greatest songwriters, equally skilled in the sophisticated melodies and lyrics of the Gershwin-Porter era and the cultural commentary of his own generation, with Bob Dylan and Paul Simon among his most ardent admirers. While tens of millions around the world can hum “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” his disarming centerpiece for Toy Story, most of them would be astonished to learn that the heart of Newman’s legacy is in the dozens of brilliant songs that detail the injustices, from racism to class inequality, that have contributed to the division of our nation. Rolling Stone declared that a single Newman song, “Sail Away,” tells us more about America than “The Star-Spangled Banner.” And yet, his legacy remains largely undocumented in book form—until now.   In A FEW WORDS IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY, veteran music journalist Robert Hilburn presents the definitive portrait of an American legend. Hilburn has known Newman since his club debut at the Troubadour in 1970, and the two have maintained a connection in the decades since, conversing over the course of times good and bad. Though Newman has long refused to talk with potential biographers, he now gives Hilburn unprecedented access not only to himself but also to his archives, as well as his family, friends, and collaborators. Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, John Williams, Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt, Chuck D, James Taylor, and New York Times’ Pulitzer-winning columnists, Thomas Friedman and Wesley Morris, among others, contributed to the book. In addition to exploring Newman’s prolific career and the evolution of his songwriting, A FEW WORDS IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY also dives into his childhood and early influences, his musical family that ruled Hollywood movie scores for decades, the relationships that have provided inspiration for his songs, and so much more.   As thought-provoking and thorough as it is tender, this book is an overdue tribute to the legendary songwriter whose music has long reflected and challenged the America we know today.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755132Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755132 to listen full audiobooks.

In this intimate and open account—nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you’ve ever read—Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and band mate. Told with acclaimed New Yorker writer Ariel Levy Brothers is seventy-year-old drummer Alex Van Halen’s love letter to his younger brother, Edward, (Maybe “Ed,” but never “Eddie”), written while still mourning his untimely death. In his rough yet sweet voice, Alex recounts the brothers’ childhood, first in the Netherlands and then in working class Pasadena, California, with an itinerant musician father and a very proper Indonesian-born mother—the kind of mom who admonished her boys to “always wear a suit” no matter how famous they became—a woman who was both proud and practical, nonchalant about taking a doggie bag from a star-studded dinner. He also shares tales of musical politics, infighting, and plenty of bad-boy behavior. But mostly his is a story of brotherhood, music, and enduring love. ''I was with him from day one,” Alex writes. “We shared the experience of coming to this country and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, an 800 square foot house, a mom and dad, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming successful, of becoming fathers and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I’ve spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime.''  There has never been an accurate account of them or the band, and Alex wants to set the record straight on Edward’s life and death.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/746339Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/746339 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: We All Shine On: John, Yoko, and Me Author: Elliot Mintz Narrator: Elliot Mintz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 10 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A personal and revealing look at the last ten years of John Lennon’s life and his partnership with Yoko Ono, written by the friend who knew them best In 1972, Elliot Mintz installed a red light in his bedroom in Laurel Canyon. When it started flashing, it meant that either John Lennon or Yoko Ono—or sometimes both—were calling him. Which they did almost every day for nearly ten years, engaging Mintz in hours-long late-night phone conversations that all but consumed him for the better part of a decade. In We All Shine On, Mintz—a former radio and television host in Los Angeles—recounts the story of how their unlikely friendship began and where it led him over the years, revealing the ups and downs of a wild, touching, heartbreaking, and sometimes shocking relationship. Mintz takes readers inside John and Yoko’s inner sanctums, including their expansive seventh-floor apartment in New York’s fabled Dakota building, where Mintz was something of a semipermanent fixture, ultimately becoming the Lennons' closest and most trusted confidant. Mintz was with John and Yoko through creative highs, relationship and private challenges, fascinating interactions with the other former Beatles, and the happiest moment of their lives together, the birth of their son, Sean. He was also by Yoko’s side during the aftermath of John’s assassination on the doorstep of the Dakota—not merely a witness to it all, but a key figure in the drama of John and Yoko’s extraordinary lives.   We All Shine On is a must-read for Beatles and Lennon fans, offering an up close and intimate view of one of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century, as well as one of the most fascinating marriages. But it’s also a relationship story that just about everyone can relate to, a tale about partnership, loyalty, and trust, and most of all, the lasting legacy of a true and deep friendship.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752253Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752253 to listen full audiobooks.

Nicole Maines knows a little something about “happily ever after”—not just because she’s a self-professed expert in the Disney princess canon, but because she’s lived it. After coming out at an early age, her family had not only to educate themselves, but also those around them as they fought and won a landmark court case in the state of Maine before she graduated high school. She made it into college, got the guy, and finally had The Surgery™. She achieved her lifelong goal of becoming an actress when she landed a major role in the CW’s Supergirl, playing television’s very first live-action transgender superhero. Cue sappy music and sunsets, because we’ve got ourselves a happy ending, right? Ha! As if. For the first time, in her own words, Nicole tells the story of her journey from childhood in rural Maine to the spotlights of Hollywood, sharing the lessons she’s learned along the way. With clever wit and unflinching honesty, she tackles some of the most insidious messaging absorbed by queer kids and all young women, from the idea that any one thing can (or should) ever really “fix” you, to wondering what’s wrong with you when things don’t always feel better, and reminding us that, sometimes, a happy ending is only the beginning of the story.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752236Tue, 15 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/752236 to listen full audiobooks.

Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating—in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable to the comfortingly domestic and to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialised in this diary are a prism for him to reflect on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks—and mourns—the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and steels himself for what is to come. Whether it’s duck a l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbequed at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days.

Title: What I Ate in One Year: (and related thoughts) Author: Stanley Tucci Narrator: Stanley Tucci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 48 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From Stanley Tucci, award-winning actor and New York Times bestselling author, a deliciously unique memoir chronicling a year’s worth of meals. “Sharing food is one of the purest human acts.” Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between scene rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating—in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable to the comfortingly domestic and to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialised in this diary are a prism for him to reflect on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks—and mourns—the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and steels himself for what is to come. Whether it’s duck a l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbequed at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and add emotional richness to his days. What I Ate in One Year is a funny, poignant, heartfelt, and deeply satisfying serving of memories and meals and an irresistible celebration of the profound role that food plays in all our lives.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/out-of-character-from-abigail-s-party-to-gavin-and-stacey-and-everything-in-between-by-alison-steadman--65312749https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728626 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: MC5: An Oral Biography of Rock's Most Revolutionary Band Author: Ben Edmonds, Jaan Uhelszki, Brad Tolinski Narrator: Widdie Turner, Kellen Boyle, Angèle Masters, Justin Price, Jeremy Arthur, Fleet Cooper, Peter Berkrot, Fred Berman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: October 8, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A riveting oral biography of the proto-punk Detroit rockers MC5, based on original interviews with the band and key members of their inner circle   Few bands have dared to ignite a revolution through their fusion of activism and art like MC5. Managed by the charismatic radical and hippie spokesman, John Sinclair, MC5 wasn’t just a band; they were a thunderous proclamation of dissent, amplifying the voices of the marginalized long before it was fashionable. From championing Black Lives Matter to rallying for cannabis legalization, they fearlessly thrust their beliefs onto the world stage. For their efforts, the rabble-rousing musical arm of the White Panther Party, the scourge of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI and other defenders of public decency, were often beaten with clubs, threatened at gunpoint, tossed into jail, and even unceremoniously dumped by their record company, right as their album was storming up the charts—and all while the Sex Pistols were still on training wheels. What has been lost amidst this notoriety is MC5 itself, a band worth remembering not because they were bad boys, but because they were so damn good. In MC5: An Oral Biography of Rock’s Most Revolutionary Band​, music journalists Brad Tolinski and Jaan Uhelszki invite readers to reconsider this legendary group. Centered around a series of interviews with MC5, their manager, and their inner circle—many of whom are no longer with us—that Tolinski and Uhelszki inherited from CREEM Magazine founding staffer and Mojo's US editor Ben Edmonds prior to his death, this book presents a genuinely candid, funny, and moving portrait of rock’s most uncompromising and articulate band. MC5 also features a virtual “who’s who” of 1960s rockers, including Iggy and the Stooges, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, promoter Bill Graham, John Lennon, the Jefferson Airplane, and political firebrands like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden, and Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver. As innovative, insightful, and inspiring as the band itself, MC5 is a fitting testament to the legacy of these iconic rock pioneers—told in their very own words.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755130Tue, 08 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755130 to listen full audiobooks.

A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved.   Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran toward his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world.   To make her mother known.   This extraordinary book is written in both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voices, a mother and daughter communicating—from this world to the one beyond—as they try to heal each other.

Title: It Starts with One: The Legend and Legacy of Linkin Park Author: Jason Lipshutz Narrator: Helen Laser, Jason Lipshutz, James Fouhey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From the executive director of music at Billboard, an extensive look inside the 20+ year career of mega-selling rock band Linkin Park, featuring new interviews, exclusive quotes, and insights from the band’s associates and collaborators   Linkin Park is one of the 21st Century’s biggest, and most important, rock bands. All it takes is one quick glance at the numbers— 11 Top 40 hits on the Hot 100 and six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, over a dozen massive tours, 27 major award wins, 100+ million records sold worldwide, over 30 million monthly Spotify listeners —to realize that when it comes to the metrics of music consumption and fandom, there’s no bigger group in recent memory. And yet, despite their enduring legacy within rock, there’s never been a full, comprehensive biography of Linkin Park—until now.   In IT STARTS WITH ONE: The Legend and Legacy of Linkin Park, Billboard's executive director of music, Jason Lipshutz, chronicles the innovation and influence of this legendary band, from their early childhoods to the moment their paths crossed to the genesis of their iconic first album, Hybrid Theory, and all that followed. Not only were they able to synthesize trends in pop and hip-hop amidst the post-grunge era and nu metal boom, then constantly reinvent their sound over multiple albums, Linkin Park’s radically vulnerable lyrics also helped usher in a new era of artists (and fans) more open to discussing mental health and prioritizing inclusivity. Led by their front men, Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, who balanced each other out artistically, Linkin Park never shied away from songs that put their issues front and center, for the world to see and feel. Tragically, Chester succumbed to his demons and passed away in 2017, but the music endures—and in order to truly appreciate the band’s singular power to bring people together, we need to take a closer look at how exactly Linkin Park changed popular music.   Through in-depth reporting and interviews, as well as new reflections from their collaborators and contemporaries, IT STARTS WITH ONE explores how one band made such a big impact on modern music, effectively cementing Linkin Park’s long overdue place in music history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755129Tue, 01 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755129 to listen full audiobooks.

Sidney Poitier represented strength, good looks, and above all dignity at a time when Black representation on the screen was so often relegated to servile parts. He broke ground as the top box-office draw in Hollywood at the peak of his career, and was the first Black actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, for his performance in Lillies of the Field (1963). Poitier—who narrowly escaped illiteracy after rising up from an impoverished childhood and the massive obstacles he faced as a Black man in mid-twentieth century America—was also one of the most articulate and sought-after speakers of his day. This book is a one-of-a-kind collection showcasing the wise, witty, and deeply personal speeches Poitier gave at awards ceremonies, family events, memorials, and more. His salutes to artists such as Dorothy Dandridge, Spencer Tracy, Stanley Kramer, and Denzel Washington offer fresh insight on icons of our time. Poitier's unforgettable cadence and voice are clear as day on the page, sometimes with careful edits and additions written in his own hand. Compiled by his wife, Joanna Poitier, and illustrated by dozens of professional and family photos, this collection stunningly captures all that was remarkable about the man through his own words; archives moments in the history of entertainment, culture, and civil rights; and offers a uniquely inspirational perspective on career, family, art, and life.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755114Tue, 01 Oct 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755114 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Talkin' Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America's Bohemian Music Capital Author: David Browne Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 9 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The definitive history of the rise and heyday of the revolutionary Greenwich Village music scene, based on new research and first-hand interviews with many of its legendary performers   Although Greenwich Village encompasses less than a square mile in downtown New York, rarely has such a concise area nurtured so many innovative artists and genres. Over the course of decades, Billie Holiday, the Weavers, Sonny Rollins, Dave Van Ronk, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Phil Ochs, and Suzanne Vega are just a few who migrated to the Village, recognizing it as a sanctuary for visionaries, non-conformists, and those looking to reinvent themselves. Working in the Village’s smokey coffeehouses and clubs, they chronicled the tumultuous Sixties, rewrote jazz history, and took folk and rock & roll into places they hadn’t been before.   Based on over 150 new interviews (Judy Collins, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Eric Andersen, Suzzy and Terre Roche, Suzanne Vega, Steve Forbert, Arlo Guthrie, John Sebastian, Shawn Colvin, the members of the Blues Project, and more), previously unseen documents, and author David Browne’s longtime immersion in the scene, Talkin’ Greenwich Village lends the saga the epic, panoramic scope it’s long deserved. It takes readers from the Fifties jamborees in Washington Square Park and into landmark venues like Gerde’s Folk City, the Gaslight Café, and the Village Vanguard, onto Dylan’s momentous arrival and returns, the no-holds-barred Seventies years (West Village discos, National Lampoon’s Lemmings), and the folk revival of the Eighties (Vega’s enduring “Tom’s Diner”).   In eye-opening fashion, Browne also details the often-overlooked people of color in the Sixties folk clubs, reveals how the FBI and city government consistently kept their eyes on the community, unearths the machinations behind the infamous “beatnik riot” in Washington Square Park, and tells the interconnected tales of Van Ronk, the seminal band the Blues Project, and the beloved sister trio, the Roches.   In also recounting the racial tensions, crackdowns, and changes in New York and music that infiltrated the neighborhood, Talkin’ Greenwich Village is more than just vivid cultural history. It also speaks to the rise and waning of bohemian culture itself, set to some of the most enduring lyrics, melodies, and jazz improvisations in American music.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739357Tue, 17 Sep 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739357 to listen full audiobooks.

In this brutally candid memoir, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Eric Roberts pulls no punches about the ups and downs of his career and his sometimes stormy relationship with his famous sister, Julia. Eric Roberts grew up in Georgia, spending most of his teens away from his mother and sisters, Lisa and Julia. Instead, he stayed with his controlling father, a grifter jealous of his early success. At age 17, Eric moved to New York to pursue acting, where he worked and partied with future legends like Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Robin Williams. His big break came when he was cast in King of the Gypsies. Eric became one of the hottest stars of his era, starting an affair with actress Sandy Dennis, working with Bob Fosse on the critically acclaimed Star 80, and earning an Oscar nomination for Runaway Train. But for Eric, Hollywood came with a dark side—an ocean of cocaine that nearly swept him away, culminating in a car accident that almost cost him his life. Eric is open about the seriousness of his addictions and their devastating effect on his career. He reveals the reasons behind his complicated relationship with his sister, Julia, and his daughter, Emma, a successful actress in her own right. Now, happily married to actress and casting director Eliza Roberts, who helped him confront his demons, he is revered among his peers as the ultimate actor’s actor. Written with New York Times bestselling author, for years a Vanity Fair contributing editor, and current Air Mail writer-at-large Sam Kashner, this is a powerful memoir of a Hollywood legend. Music for this program is courtesy of Keaton Simons.

Eric is open about the seriousness of his addictions and their devastating effect on his career. He reveals the reasons behind his complicated relationship with his sister, Julia, and his daughter, Emma, a successful actress in her own right. Now, happily married to actress and casting director Eliza Roberts, who helped him confront his demons, he is revered among his peers as the ultimate actor’s actor. Written with New York Times bestselling author, for years a Vanity Fair contributing editor, and current Air Mail writer-at-large Sam Kashner, this is a powerful memoir of a Hollywood legend.

In 1999, Eve Jihan Cooper made history with her solo debut album, Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, reaching number one on the Billboard 200, marking her as the third female rapper to ever obtain that position. She later made history again as the first recipient ever of the Grammy Award®for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for her platinum single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” with Gwen Stefani. Following up with three chart-topping albums that made unrivaled waves in the world of hip-hop and music, as well as trailblazing moments in TV/film and fashion, Eve now looks back on her groundbreaking career.

Title: Who Could Ever Love You: A Family Memoir Author: Mary L. Trump Narrator: Mary L. Trump Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 37 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.93 of Total 14 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 6 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: This program is read by the author. Who Could Ever Love You is an intimate, heartbreaking memoir of a father, a mother, and a family’s exile. Mary Trump grew up in a family divided by its patriarch’s relentless drive for money and power. The daughter of Freddy Trump, the highly accomplished, dashing eldest son of wealthy real estate developer Fred Trump, and Linda Clapp, a flight attendant from a working-class family, Mary lived in the shadow of Freddy’s humiliation at the hands of his father. Fred Trump embodied the ethos of the zero-sum game and among his five children, there could only be one winner. That was supposed to be Freddy, his namesake, but Fred found him wanting—too sensitive, too kind, too interested in pursuits beyond the realm of the real estate empire he was meant to inherit. In Donald, Fred found a kindred spirit, a “killer,” who would stop at nothing to get his own way. Even after Freddy’s short-lived career as a professional pilot for TWA came to an end, he never stopped trying to gain his father’s approval. Finally, at the age of forty-two, he succumbed to Fred’s lethal contempt and died alone in an emergency room, with no family by his side. In WHO COULD EVER LOVE YOU, Mary Trump brings us inside the twisted family whose patriarch ignored, froze out, and eventually destroyed his own. Freddy Trump’s decline into alcoholism and illness, along with Linda’s suffering after their divorce, left Mary dangerously vulnerable as a very young girl. Inadequately and only conditionally loved, there were no adults in her life except for the father she loved, but lost before she could know him; and a mother abandoned by her ex-husband’s rich and powerful family who demanded her loyalty but left her with nothing. With searching insight, poignant detail, and unsparing prose, Mary Trump reveals the cold, selfish cruelty that has come to define the Trump family thanks in large part to her uncle, whose malignant ambition has riven our nation and threatens the world.

Music is like no other business. It's about being at the right place at the right time, following your nose and diving in feet first. It's about being plugged into the mystical electricity and about surfing on the wild energy. It's about how to fuck up and how to survive and be sustained by the holy grail of the high decibel. No-one captures this wild feral spirit better than Alan McGee whose helter-skelter career through music has made him a major force. Wilder than his bands, more out of control than his most lunatic singer, more driven than his contemporaries and closer in spirit to the rock'n'roll star he could never be himself, McGee was always in a rush. Creation would sign people and not just the music. McGee understood that running an indie label is mainly about the charisma, the game changers, the iconography and the story. It's about never being boring. His ability to start a raw power ruckus brought the visceral danger back to a moribund mid-eighties music scene. His nose for danger and his ear for classic guitar rock'n'roll brought us The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub and Ride before topping out in the nineties with the biggest band in the world, Oasis.

Title: The De Palma Decade: Redefining Cinema With Doubles, Voyeurs, and Psychic Teens Author: Laurent Bouzereau Narrator: Dani Martineck Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 47 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Journey with award-winning filmmaker and author Laurent Bouzereau through acclaimed director Brian De Palma’s renowned—and controversial—horror and thriller films that redefined cinema in the 1970s and early 80s with new interviews and fresh takes.   Among a crop of fresh filmmakers including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola revolutionizing Hollywood in the ’70s, Brian De Palma—a director from Philadelphia with a few social satires under his belt—charted a cinematic path unlike any of his peers. At times he was unfairly dismissed as a Hitchcock copycat; other times he was misunderstood for his peculiar mix of sexuality, humor, music, and violence. But, over the course of ten years, he created a new cinematic language, melding his signature themes with specific filmmaking techniques that are now synonymous with his name.   Acclaimed filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau explores the seven films that came to define the De Palma decade—Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise, Obsession, Carrie, The Fury, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out. Combining film analysis, detailed production histories, and new interviews with De Palma himself, his casts, and collaborators, Bouzereau presents the definitive record on this unrivaled period of cinematic creativity and the emergence of an auteur who would continue to influence filmmaking in the decades that followed.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739393Tue, 03 Sep 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/739393 to listen full audiobooks.

But, over the course of ten years, he created a new cinematic language, melding his signature themes with specific filmmaking techniques that are now synonymous with his name.   Acclaimed filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau explores the seven films that came to define the De Palma decade—Sisters, Phantom of the Paradise, Obsession, Carrie, The Fury, Dressed to Kill, and Blow Out. Combining film analysis, detailed production histories, and new interviews with De Palma himself, his casts, and collaborators, Bouzereau presents the definitive record on this unrivaled period of cinematic creativity and the emergence of an auteur who would continue to influence filmmaking in the decades that followed.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/cocaine-and-rhinestones-a-history-of-george-jones-and-tammy-wynette-by-tyler-mahan-coe--65312634https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755390 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Cocaine and Rhinestones: A History of George Jones and Tammy Wynette Author: Tyler Mahan Coe Narrator: Tyler Mahan Coe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 26 hours 5 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From the creator of the acclaimed country music history podcast Cocaine & Rhinestones, comes the epic American saga of country music’s legendary royal couple—George Jones and Tammy Wynette. By the early 1960s nearly everybody paying attention to country music agreed that George Jones was the greatest country singer of all time. After taking honky-tonk rockers like “White Lightning” all the way up the country charts, he revealed himself to be an unmatched virtuoso on “She Thinks I Still Care,” thus cementing his status as a living legend. That’s where the trouble started. Only at this new level of fame did Jones realize he suffered from extreme stage fright. His method of dealing with that involved great quantities of alcohol, which his audience soon discovered as Jones more often than not showed up to concerts falling-down drunk or failed to show up at all. But the fans always forgave him because he just kept singing so damn good. Then he got married to Tammy Wynette right around the time she became one of the most famous women alive with the release of “Stand by Your Man.” Tammy Wynette grew up believing George Jones was the greatest country singer of all time. After deciding to become a country singer herself, she went to Nashville, got a record deal, then met and married her hero. With the pop crossover success of “Stand by Your Man” (and the international political drama surrounding the song’s lyrics) came a gigantic audience, who were sold a fairy tale image of a couple soon being called The King and Queen of Country Music. Many fans still believe that fairy tale today. The behind-the-scenes truth is very different from the images shown on album covers. Illustrated throughout by singular artist Wayne White, Cocaine & Rhinestones is an unprecedented look at the lives of two indelible country icons, reframing their careers within country music as well as modern history itself.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755390Tue, 03 Sep 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/755390 to listen full audiobooks.

O'Connor answers every question, deftly and deeply, that we've had about the most controversial person in America's biggest game.'' —Peter King Four-time New York Times bestselling sport biographer Ian O’Connor pulls back the curtain on four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, delivering the definitive portrait of the legendary yet mysterious quarterback who has astonished, befuddled, yet always captivated fans of America’s #1 sport. Aaron Rodgers is among the two or three most talented players to ever hold the most important job in American team sports – quarterback. He also stands as the most mysterious and polarizing figure in the modern-day national pastime that is professional football. From his controversial Covid stance to his methods of spiritual awakening to his estrangement from his family to his high-profile romances to his devastating Achilles injury a mere four plays into his New York Jets career, Rodgers has long dominated the NFL’s news cycle. At thirty-nine, in search of a challenge that would rejuvenate him, Rodgers divorced the iconic Green Bay Packers of Vince Lombardi fame for the Jets, who have not appeared in a Super Bowl since Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon. The trade made Rodgers the biggest story in the biggest league in the biggest market. By far. That story only got bigger when Rodgers shockingly went down on the night of 9/11, in front of a packed house that roared for him when he took the field carrying an American flag, and in front of the biggest Monday Night Football audience in ESPN history, peaking at more than 25 million viewers across all platforms. Rodgers then shocked the world by pulling off the fastest recorded comeback from an Achilles tear, returning to practice eleven weeks after surgery. Remarkably enough, he would have played again in the 2023 season, at age 40, had the Jets remained in playoff contention. Ian O’Connor uses hundreds of original interviews to pull back the curtain and answer the most penetrating questions about the league’s most enigmatic player. Just like he did in his defining bios of Bill Belichick, Mike Krzyzewski, Derek Jeter, Jack Nicklaus, and Arnold Palmer, O’Connor reveals all sides of an all-time great and delivers a portrait of a complex man that will forever shape the way he is viewed.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728568Tue, 20 Aug 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728568 to listen full audiobooks.

In early 2021, popular artist Anna Marie Tendler checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Over two weeks, she underwent myriad psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, “There is a you inside that feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside.” In Men Have Called Her Crazy, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed. As the title suggests, many of these moments are impacted by men: unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations and absurdities of dating in her mid-thirties; and her decision to freeze her eggs as all her friends were starting families. This stunning literary self-portrait examines the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century. Yet overwhelming and despairing as that can feel, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. Early in her stay in the hospital, she says, “My wish for myself is that one day I’ll reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself.” By the end of the book, she fulfills that wish.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737419Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737419 to listen full audiobooks.

Few billionaires have been in the public eye for as long, and in as many guises, as Bill Gates. At first hailed as a tech visionary, the Microsoft cofounder morphed into a ruthless capitalist, only to change yet again when he fashioned himself into a global do-gooder. Along the way, Gates influenced how we think about tech founders, as the products they make and the ideas they sell continue to dominate our lives. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he also set a new standard for high-profile, billionaire philanthropy. But there is more to Gates’s story, and here, Das’s revelatory reporting shows us that billionaires have secrets and philanthropy can have a dark side. Drawing upon hundreds of interviews with current and former employees of the Gates Foundation, Microsoft, academics, nonprofits, and those with insight into the Gates universe, Das delves into Gates’s relationships with Warren Buffett, Jeffrey Epstein, Melinda French Gates, and others, to uncover the truths behind the public persona. In telling Gates’s story, Das also provides a new way to think about how billionaires wield their power, manipulate their image, and pursue philanthropy to become heroes, repair damaged reputations, and direct policy to achieve their preferred outcomes. “A balanced, perceptive, and thought-provoking portrait of a man and his times” (Booklist) Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King is an important story of money and government, wealth and power, and media and image, and the ways in which the world’s richest people hold us in their thrall.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/758393Tue, 13 Aug 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/758393 to listen full audiobooks.

The book explodes with inside dope.” —New York Daily News   Allen Klein was like no one the music industry had seen before. Though he became infamous for allegedly causing the Beatles’ breakup and robbing the Rolling Stones, the truth is both more complex and more fascinating. As the manager of the Stones and then the Beatles—not to mention Sam Cooke, Pete Townshend, Donovan, the Kinks, and numerous others—he taught young soon-to-be legends how to be businessmen as well as rock stars. While Klein made millions for his clients, he was as merciless with them as he was with anyone, earning himself an outsize reputation for villainy that has gone unchallenged until now. Through unique, unprecedented access to Klein’s archives, veteran music journalist Fred Goodman tells the full story of how the Beatles broke up, how the Stones achieved the greatest commercial success in rock history, and how the music business became what it is today.   “Fred Goodman is a superb writer . . . and his account here of one of rock ’n’ roll’s most polarizing figures could not be more readable. The even-handed tone, the supposition that readers are moderately intelligent and sophisticated, and the rather astounding involvement Allen Klein had with pop music’s largest legends—put all that together, and you’ve got one highly engrossing read.” —Yahoo!

Title: The Witch's Daughter: My Mother, Her Magic, and the Madness that Bound Us Author: Orenda Fink Narrator: Orenda Fink Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 3 minutes Release date: August 6, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Acclaimed indie musician and songwriter Orenda Fink’s lyrical and moving memoir about growing up with a mother who battled mental illness and addiction is a “master text on surviving trauma as a child and adult” (Phoebe Bridgers). Each night, Orenda Fink’s darkly charismatic mother perches on a kitchen stool and insists that she and Orenda are magic. Orenda’s mother claims to be a witch who uses her magic to protect the family from the outside world, but Orenda’s childhood is marked by instability and uncertainty. Her family moves from town to town, chasing a fresh start whenever the money runs out. Orenda escapes to pursue a music career in Birmingham, Alabama, and then Athens, Georgia, forming the bands Little Red Rocket and Azure Ray. The magic she finds in her music, and in her sense of self, feels precious and rare, while the magic her mother wields feels increasingly volatile. Orenda orbits the family home, always drawn back by her mother’s dark powers and her own need to discover whether that claim of magic—or any magic—is real. With the guidance of a Jungian psychotherapist, Orenda is stunned to learn that her mother fits many of the criteria associated with borderline personality disorder, including a subtype identified by famed thought leader Christine Ann Lawson known as “The Witch”—an aggressive, dominating figure who operates by fear-driven control, sometimes claiming to wield magic. Told in spellbinding prose, this memoir of music, self-discovery, and compassion is for anyone who has had to conjure a safe place to call home. “Equal parts cutting and compassionate, this tale of hard-won peace will resonate with readers wrestling with their own complicated families” (Publishers Weekly).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737416Tue, 06 Aug 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737416 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Guitar Author: Jeff Slate, Earl Slick Narrator: Earl Slick, Nathan Osgood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 4, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A rollicking rock 'n' roll memoir of the last 50 years of rock history, from David Bowie's longest serving lead guitarist and legendary sideman, Earl Slick. He's played with everyone from John Lennon to the New York Dolls - and he's got the stories to prove it. Earl Slick was barely out of his teens when David Bowie hired him to play guitar on the ground-breaking 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. It marked the beginning of a relationship that would endure through thick and thin for the next forty years. Gracing classic albums like Young Americans, Station to Station and the 2013 comeback, The Next Day, Slick played on the tour that followed Bowie’s smash hit Let’s Dance album and was at his side for the epic Glastonbury show in 2000. But it wasn’t just Bowie. The young guitarist was in John Lennon’s band at the time of the former Beatle’s tragic murder. Other collaborations read like a roll call of rock ‘n’ roll royalty including Mick Jagger, The Cure, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Joe Cocker, Buddy Guy, Ian Hunter, David Coverdale and Eric Clapton. And in the ‘80s he became an MTV star in his own right with the success of Phantom, Rocker and Slick. Through it all he lived the rock ‘n’ roll life to the hilt. Until it nearly killed him. One of rock’s great sidemen, Earl Slick was in the room when music history was made. Guitar takes us there, shining a light on superstars like Bowie and Lennon, while recounting the extraordinary story of the boy from New York City who became a real life Johnny B.

Title: Guitar Author: Jeff Slate, Earl Slick Narrator: Earl Slick, Nathan Osgood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 36 minutes Release date: July 4, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A rollicking rock 'n' roll memoir of the last 50 years of rock history, from David Bowie's longest serving lead guitarist and legendary sideman, Earl Slick. He's played with everyone from John Lennon to the New York Dolls - and he's got the stories to prove it. Earl Slick was barely out of his teens when David Bowie hired him to play guitar on the ground-breaking 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. It marked the beginning of a relationship that would endure through thick and thin for the next forty years. Gracing classic albums like Young Americans, Station to Station and the 2013 comeback, The Next Day, Slick played on the tour that followed Bowie’s smash hit Let’s Dance album and was at his side for the epic Glastonbury show in 2000. But it wasn’t just Bowie. The young guitarist was in John Lennon’s band at the time of the former Beatle’s tragic murder. Other collaborations read like a roll call of rock ‘n’ roll royalty including Mick Jagger, The Cure, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Joe Cocker, Buddy Guy, Ian Hunter, David Coverdale and Eric Clapton. And in the ‘80s he became an MTV star in his own right with the success of Phantom, Rocker and Slick. Through it all he lived the rock ‘n’ roll life to the hilt. Until it nearly killed him. One of rock’s great sidemen, Earl Slick was in the room when music history was made. Guitar takes us there, shining a light on superstars like Bowie and Lennon, while recounting the extraordinary story of the boy from New York City who became a real life Johnny B. Goode. ©2024 Earl Slick (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/desolation-a-heavy-metal-memoir-by-mark-morton--65312773https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723301 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir Author: Mark Morton Narrator: Mark Morton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: June 25, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A gritty, revealing heavy metal memoir by Lamb of God’s lead guitarist and co-lyricist, which explores both his life in music and his tumultuous path through addiction and into recovery.   DESOLATION is the story of Morton's lifelong quest for clarity and self-acceptance, and shows how the pressures of career success and personal battles eventually came into conflict with Morton's dedication to the creative process. Intertwined with addiction, self-destruction, and the path to eventual surrender and recovery, Morton also reveals the greatest personal tragedy of his life: the death of his two-day old daughter, plunging Morton further into hopelessness. Surrounded by bandmates living their wildest dreams, Morton wanted nothing more than to disappear, ingesting potentially lethal cocktails of drugs and alcohol into his system on a daily basis.   And yet, amidst the harrowing heartbreak, there were moments of triumph, hope, and incredible personal connection. Morton developed close relationships with his bandmates and crew members, sharing experiences that have made for some strange and hilarious tales. He's also gained a greater sense of purpose through interactions with his fans, who remind him that his work reaches people on a deeply personal level. Through the highs and the lows, Morton learns how to find presence and gratitude where he once found fear and resentment, a process that he considers a gift of spiritual awakening.    DESOLATION is, at its core, about Morton's journey as a musician navigating self doubt, anxiety and the progressive disease of addiction, and ultimately finding relative serenity. Perfect for fans, new and old, as well as anyone who has ever been tested and brought to their limits, DESOLATION is a highly-satisfying, full-throttle investigation of the human experience.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723301Tue, 25 Jun 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/723301 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Traveling: On the Path of Joni Mitchell Author: Ann Powers Narrator: Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 24 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: *An Observer Best New Biographies of 2024* Celebrated NPR music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of Joni Mitchell in a lyrical style as fascinating and ethereal as the songs of the artist herself. “What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it’s a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her own invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.” —From the introduction For decades, Joni Mitchell’s life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians—from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile—and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as—with the other arm—she pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting. In Traveling, Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer’s childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell’s musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell’s collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life. Along this journey, Powers’ wide-ranging musings on the artist’s life and career reconsider the biographer’s role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan. Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722532Tue, 11 Jun 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/722532 to listen full audiobooks.

I was blown away by Griffin Dunne’s life and his ability to capture so much of it in these beautifully written pages.” —Anderson Cooper Griffin Dunne’s memoir of growing up among larger-than-life characters in Hollywood and Manhattan finds wicked humor and glimmers of light in even the most painful of circumstances At eight, Sean Connery saved him from drowning. At thirteen, desperate to hook up with Janis Joplin, he attended his aunt Joan Didion and uncle John Gregory Dunne’s legendary LA launch party for Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. At sixteen, he got kicked out of boarding school, ending his institutional education for good. In his early twenties, he shared an apartment in Manhattan’s Hotel Des Artistes with his best friend and soulmate Carrie Fisher while she was filming some sci-fi movie called Star Wars and he was a struggling actor working as a popcorn concessionaire at Radio City Music Hall. A few years later, he produced and starred in the now-iconic film After Hours, directed by Martin Scorsese. In the midst of it all, Griffin’s twenty-two-year-old sister, Dominique, a rising star in Hollywood, was brutally strangled to death by her ex-boyfriend, leading to one of the most infamous public trials of the 1980s. The outcome was a travesty of justice that marked the beginning of their father Dominick Dunne’s career as a crime reporter for Vanity Fair and a victims' rights activist. And yet, for all its boldface cast of characters and jaw-dropping scenes, The Friday Afternoon Club is no mere celebrity memoir.

Title: Roctogenarians: Late in Life Debuts, Comebacks, and Triumphs Author: Jonathan Greenberg, Mo Rocca Narrator: Mo Rocca Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 50 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From beloved CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Mo Rocca, author of New York Times bestseller Mobituaries, comes an inspiring collection of stories that celebrates the triumphs of people who made their biggest marks late in life. Eighty has been the new sixty for about twenty years now. In fact, there have always been late-in-life achievers, those who declined to go into decline just because they were eligible for social security. Journalist, humorist, and history buff Mo Rocca and coauthor Jonathan Greenberg introduce us to the people past and present who peaked when they could have been puttering—breaking out as writers, selling out concert halls, attempting to set land-speed records—and in the case of one ninety-year tortoise, becoming a first-time father. (Take that, Al Pacino!) In the vein of Mobituaries, Roctogenarians is a collection of entertaining and unexpected profiles of these unretired titans—some long gone (a cancer-stricken Henri Matisse, who began work on his celebrated cut-outs when he could no longer paint), some very much still living (Mel Brooks, yukking it up at close to one hundred). The amazing cast of characters also includes Mary Church Terrell, who at eighty-six helped lead sit-ins at segregated Washington, DC, lunch counters in the 1950s, and Carol Channing, who married the love of her life at eighty-two. Then there’s Peter Mark Roget, who began working on his thesaurus in his twenties and completed it at seventy-three (because sometimes finding the right word takes time.) With passion and wonder Rocca and Greenberg recount the stories of yesterday’s and today’s strongest finishers. Because with all due respect to the Golden Girls, some people will never be content sitting out on the lanai. (PS Actress Estelle Getty was sixty-two when she got her big break. And yes, she’s in the book.)]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737417Tue, 11 Jun 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/737417 to listen full audiobooks.

But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek, I’d see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on. It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock’s popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad’s personal life, characterizing us as a “close family.” But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings—even something akin to love—especially when we were celebrating my father’s many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained. My resentment towards my father kept building through the years until we were estranged. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I did all the things dads are supposed to do. And then I got Dad's letter. That marked a turning point in our lives, a moment that cleared the way for a new relationship between us.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/757223Tue, 04 Jun 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/757223 to listen full audiobooks.

But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek, I’d see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on. It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock’s popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad’s personal life, characterizing us as a “close family.” But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings—even something akin to love—especially when we were celebrating my father’s many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained. My resentment towards my father kept building through the years until we were estranged. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I did all the things dads are supposed to do. And then I got Dad's letter. That marked a turning point in our lives, a moment that cleared the way for a new relationship between us.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/scream-queen-a-memoir-by-yvette-fielding--65312725https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731595 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Scream Queen: A memoir Author: Yvette Fielding Narrator: Yvette Fielding Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 36 minutes Release date: May 30, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Seances, Ouija boards, table tipping, knocking phenomena - all in a day's work for the First Lady of the Paranormal. Yvette Fielding has nerves of steel when facing down her tormentors in the spirit world. Her living-world personal story also reveals a woman of courage and determination, who built success from nothing, following her passion and lifelong curiosity in search of answers to the unexplained. Yvette was always fascinated with the afterlife, and Buddhist meditation practice opened her up to any spirit who wanted to contact her. This manifested in her first family home. Their TV would switch itself on, and kitchen cupboards would open and close all by themselves. When alone there, Yvette would arm herself with a Samurai sword to confront her unseen visitors. But it was a harrowing investigation of eerie 800 year-old Michelham Priory where Yvette’s life-changing Most Haunted adventure began, and still continues many terrifying quests and over twenty years later. Here you’ll walk with Yvette where others fear to tread through chills of the supernatural kind, and she also talks with candid honesty of occasional cold spots she’s encountered in human form. But through all the drops in temperature, the nation’s most celebrated ghost hunter radiates warmth and humour and it’s a joy to accompany her on her incredible journey from child TV star to Most Haunted icon. Beware sceptics: the Scream Queen's story could change your world view for ever. ©2024 Yvette Fielding (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731595Thu, 30 May 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731595 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Looking for Andy Griffith: A Father's Journey Author: Evan Dalton Smith Narrator: Evan Dalton Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 34 minutes Release date: May 28, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Andy Griffith (1926-2012) is one of North Carolina's most beloved exports, capturing America's heart as Sheriff Andy Taylor. Evan Dalton Smith was born in the North Carolina Piedmont over four decades after Andy, just an hour south of Griffith's hometown of Mount Airy. Both were small-town boys who grew up in similar places, where the counties were dry and the churches plentiful. But for both, there was darkness, crushed hopes, and tragedy, hidden just below the surface. For Smith and many generations in North Carolina, Andy Griffith was like the air—everywhere, all the time, a part of daily life. Even after he left the state, Smith always felt the pull of home and the lingering ghost of Andy alongside it. This is an exploration on celebrity and the self, on home and what that means when you leave it, and why we love and admire the people we do—even if we've never met them—all told through the entwined lives of iconic actor Andy Griffith and writer Evan Dalton Smith. It is through Smith's telling of Griffith's life that he finds his own story, one that is both informed by and freed from the legacy of one of North Carolina's most famous sons.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/753896Tue, 28 May 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/753896 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Editor: How Publishing Legend Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America Author: Sara B. Franklin Narrator: Eunice Wong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 9 minutes Release date: May 28, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Legendary editor Judith Jones, the woman behind some of the most important authors of the 20th century—including Julia Child, Anne Frank, Edna Lewis, John Updike, and Sylvia Plath—finally gets her due in this “surprising, granular, luminous, and path-breaking biography” (Edward Hirsch, author of How to Read a Poem). At Doubleday’s Paris office in 1949, twenty-five-year-old Judith Jones spent most of her time wading through manuscripts in the slush pile and passing on projects—until one day, a book caught her eye. She read it in one sitting, then begged her boss to consider publishing it. A year later, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl became a bestseller. It was the start of a culture-defining career in publishing. During her more than fifty years as an editor at Alfred A. Knopf, Jones nurtured the careers of literary icons such as Sylvia Plath, Anne Tyler, and John Updike, and helped launched new genres and trends in literature. At the forefront of the cookbook revolution, she published the who’s who of food writing: Edna Lewis, M.F.K. Fisher, Claudia Roden, Madhur Jaffrey, James Beard, and, most famously, Julia Child. Through her tenacious work behind the scenes, Jones helped turn these authors into household names, changing cultural mores and expectations along the way. Judith’s work spanned decades of America’s most dramatic cultural change—from the end of World War II through the civil rights movement and the fight for women’s equality—and the books she published acted as tools of quiet resistance. Now, based on exclusive interviews, never-before-seen personal papers, and years of research, her astonishing career is explored for the first time in this “thorough and humanizing portrait” (Kirkus Reviews).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733573Tue, 28 May 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733573 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Key Changes: The Ten Times Technology Transformed the Music Industry Author: Howie Singer, Bill Rosenblatt Narrator: Asa Siegel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 32 minutes Release date: May 21, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In recent years, narratives about the music industry tend to hew to a common theme: it was humming along for decades until the Internet and Napster came along and disrupted it. Key Changes shows that this view is incorrect: the industry was actually shaken up not once in the 1990s, but ten times over more than 100 years. These ten disruptions came with the introduction of new formats for enjoying recorded music: starting with the cylinders and discs played on early phonographs; then moving through radio, LPs, tapes, CDs, television, digital downloads, streaming, and streaming video; and then into Artificial Intelligence (AI), which enables a wide range of new capabilities with profound impacts upon the business. Each of the technological innovations covered in this book not only disrupted the music business, but also fundamentally altered the industry's character. Veteran music industry professionals and music technology experts Howie Singer and Bill Rosenblatt illuminate this pattern through a framework they term 'the 6 Cs': cutting edge technology, channels of distribution, creators, consumers, cash, copyright. Extensively researched and supplemented by interviews with Grammy-winning artists, producers, and executives, the book provides an insightful perspective on the ways technology has fundamentally altered the music industry.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/753886Tue, 21 May 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/753886 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Johnny Carson Author: Henry Bushkin Narrator: Josh Bloomberg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 8 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: “A close look at how show business power corrupts . . . The dishiest read of the year.” – Janet Maslin, “Ten Favorite Books of the Year,” New York Times “Here’s Johnny!” Probably everyone in America knows the phrase, whether they watched every episode of The Tonight Show or none because they had to go to bed early on school nights. From 1962 to 1992, Johnny Carson and his Tonight Show dominated the American consciousness. Henry Bushkin was Carson’s best friend and lawyer during that period, and his book is a tautly rendered and remarkably nuanced portrait of Carson, revealing not only how he truly was, but why. Bushkin explains why Carson, a voracious (and very talented) womanizer, felt he always had to be married; why he couldn’t visit his son in the hospital and wouldn’t attend his mother’s funeral; and much more. Johnny Carson is by turns shocking, poignant, and uproarious — written with a novelist’s eye for detail, a screenwriter’s ear for dialogue, and a knack for comic timing that Carson himself would relish. “A fascinating book about a complex man.” — Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Like The Tonight Show, the book has many a merry moment . . . [Johnny Carson] was also one of a kind, and is missed.

From multi-award winner Whoopi Goldberg comes a new and unique memoir of her family and their influence on her early life. If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time. Growing up in the projects in New York City, there were trips to Coney Island, the Ice Capades, and museums, and every Christmas was a magical experience. To this day, she doesn’t know how her mother was able to give them such an enriching childhood, despite the struggles they faced—and it wasn’t until she was well into adulthood that Whoopi learned just how traumatic some of those struggles were. Fans of personal memoirs such as Finding Me by Viola Davis and In Pieces by Sally Field will be touched by Bits and Pieces: a moving tribute from a daughter to her mother, and a beautiful portrait of three people who loved each other deeply. Whoopi writes, “Not everybody gets to walk this earth with folks who let you be exactly who you are and who give you the confidence to become exactly who you want to be. So, I thought I’d share mine with you.”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721477Tue, 07 May 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721477 to listen full audiobooks.

Sounds that prefigure pop music's future—the vanguard genres and heroic innovators whose discoveries eventually get accepted by the wider mass audience. But it's also about the way music can stir anticipation for a thrillingly transformed world just around the corner: a future that might be utopian or dystopian, but at least will be radically changed and exhilaratingly other.     Starting with an extraordinary chapter on Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer, taking in illuminating profiles of Ryuichi Sakamoto, Boards of Canada, Burial, and Daft Punk, and arguing for Auto-Tune as the defining sound of 21st century pop, Futuromania shapes over two dozen essays and interviews into a chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to now. Reynolds explores the interface between pop music and science fiction's utopian dreams and nightmare visions, always emphasizing the quirky human individuals abusing the technology as much as the era-defining advances in electronic hardware and digital software.     A tapestry of the scenes and subcultures that have proliferated in that febrile, sexy, and contested space where man meets machine, Futuromania is an enthused listening guide that will propel readers towards adventures in sound.

Title: Dogland: Passion, Glory, and Lots of Slobber at the Westminster Dog Show Author: Tommy Tomlinson Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 9 minutes Release date: April 23, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: “Delightful.” —Town & Country • “Extraordinary...Tomlinson’s book is a gem.” —Star Tribune (Minneapolis) • “Moving...Really broke me.” —The Washington Post • “This book wants to lick your face. Let it.” —Kirkus Reviews Pulitzer Prize finalist Tommy Tomlinson explores the bond between dogs and their people in this irresistibly appealing, inside account of the Westminster Dog Show that follows one dog on his quest to become a champion. Tommy Tomlinson was watching a dog show on television a few years ago when he had a sudden thought: Are those dogs happy? How about pet dogs—are they happy? Those questions sparked a quest to venture inside the dog-show world, in search of a deeper understanding of the longtime relationship between dogs and humans, and here, in Dogland he shares his surprising, entertaining, and moving adventures. Spending three years on the road, Tomlinson goes behind the scenes at more than one hundred competitions across the country, from Midwestern fairgrounds to Madison Square Garden. Along the way he is licked, sniffed, and rubbed up against by dogs of nearly every size, shape, and breed. Like a real-life version of the classic mockumentary Best in Show, Dogland follows one champion show dog—a Samoyed named Striker—as well as his handler, Laura King, and his devoted entourage of breeders and owners as he competes in the 2022 Westminster Dog Show. Striker’s whole career has been leading up to this moment. As Tomlinson writes, picking a top show dog is like drafting an NFL quarterback when they’re still in elementary school. Now Striker has made it to the Super Bowl. Tomlinson takes us on the long road to glory, bringing the dog-show circuit to life as teams scramble from town to town in search of championship ribbons. (Striker and his crew travel in a custom-built RV named after Betty White.) Tomlinson’s limitless curiosity about people and dogs reaches far beyond the show tents and into the ordinary lives of dogs. We hear from experts who have discovered new insights into how dogs and humans formed their bond—and how that bond has changed over the centuries. We discover the fascinating origins of different dog breeds, learn about the elaborate breed standards that determine an ideal show dog, and consider the health issues that can arise in purebred dogs. We also meet dog lovers who applaud every dog, regardless of breed, simply for being themselves, such as WeRateDogs, the social media phenomenon with millions of followers, all for posts celebrating the day-to-day goofiness in most dog owners’ lives. “A big ol’ slobbering smooch of optimism, laughter, and happiness” (Joe Posnanski) Dogland takes us on a rollicking tour through the rituals, tricks, and wonders of the dog-show world—and reveals what matters most for the happiness of dogs and dog lovers everywhere.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/742606Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/742606 to listen full audiobooks.

Tales From the Dance Floor is an electrifying journey into the heart of Manchester’s music culture with its most influential promoter.

Title: Not That I'm Bitter Author: Helen Lederer Narrator: Helen Lederer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 3 minutes Release date: April 11, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: ‘Helen Lederer is the third funniest woman in the world' – Dawn French What was it like as one of a handful of women at the heart of the right-on alternative comedy scene in the 1980s? Piece of cake? Bit of a laugh? Well, yes, and no. It had its ups – but also its downs. Helen Lederer was a regular on the stand-up circuit and new-wave sketch shows in the decade that launched the careers of today's comedy household names and national treasures. She shared stages with comedy pioneers like Ben Elton and John Hegley, and TV screens with Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Harry Enfield, and many others. From the iconic Absolutely Fabulous, to Bottom, Happy Families, Naked Video, French and Saunders and Girls on Top, it is difficult to think of a comedy show that Helen wasn't a part of. From writing radio shows, to performing on the West End, her wry, witty perspectives, and her face, are unforgettable. So, plain sailing then? Well, not really. Not That I'm Bitter, her powerful, frank, moving and characteristically funny memoir, reveals exactly how choppy the waters could be. Even in those ground-breaking, anti-Thatcher days, there was only room at top for so many women. For the rest, it was as much a struggle to be seen and heard in the world of comedy as in any boardroom or workplace, and just as difficult to avoid the predators. This is more than the story of one decade, however. The child of a Jewish-Czech wartime refugee, Helen Lederer was never part of the mainstream. How do you make humour from a lifelong battle against problems with weight and low-self-esteem? Where are the jokes in addictions to diet-pills and steroid injections? How can laughter defeat the darker moments, like a child's anorexia or PTSD? How do you cope with constant self-sabotage when, despite enormous success, you still feel like a failure? Helen raises an important and open discussion around mental health alongside the evolved attitudes to women today. There's something in Helen Lederer's life-story that everyone, can relate to. A genuinely funny memoir with lots of heart (and just the right amount of bitterness!), she pulls no punches, but every blow is wrapped in a laugh of recognition. Revealing, and moving, Not That I'm Bitter is sweet, sour, laugh out loud, and addictive.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756974Thu, 11 Apr 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/756974 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: From Punk to Monk: A Memoir Author: Foreword By Moby, Ray Raghunath Cappo Narrator: Ray Raghunath Cappo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 38 minutes Release date: April 9, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The heartfelt memoir of Ray Raghunath Cappo, a legendary hardcore punk musician-turned-monk—and pioneer of the straight-edge movement—told with warmth, candor, and humor. Narrated by the author himself. Ray Cappo was a hardcore punk singer and pioneer of the straight-edge movement living on the Lower East Side of New York City in the ’80s, where his band Youth of Today played to packed clubs and touched thousands of people across the globe. But despite the accolades from fans, the popularity of his records, and the positivity he’d brought to the punk music scene, none of this success gave Ray joy. He felt stagnant, and he yearned for something more. This, along with his father’s untimely death, led him to abruptly quit the band and buy a one-way ticket to India in pursuit of the answers to life’s great mysteries. Living as a monk in the sacred city of Vrindavan and traveling across the country on a series of train trips, Ray embraced the rich, spiritual culture he discovered there. As his unusual adventure unfolded, he encountered extraordinary characters, witnessed deep acts of devotion, and experienced profound moments of divine connection, leading to a radical transformation that was ego-crushing and blissful all at once. Inspired to write music again, Ray returned to the US, where he and other monks founded Shelter, a band dedicated to spreading a message of faith, hope, and love. Told with warmth, candor, and humor, this heartfelt memoir chronicles Ray’s emotional and spiritual journey from punk to monk and beyond. HISTORICAL: Offers a unique glimpse into the punk and hardcore scene of the Lower East Side during the 80s and the birth of the straight-edge movement. SPIRITUAL: Asks (and answers) deep questions about our relationship to the world around us and the living beings that populate it.

Title: Crying in the Rain: The Perfect Harmony and Imperfect Lives of the Everly Brothers Author: Mark Ribowsky Narrator: Steve Menasche Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 39 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The Everly Brothers—aka Don and Phil to fans with an intimate appreciation for them—seemed to exist almost as an apparition. Emerging within the formative era for young Baby Boomers during the blandly regimented '50s, they were a ubiquitous presence, clad in snug suits and skinny ties, hair neatly Brylcreemed, never raising their voices when they sang. The two prim-looking country boys with dark, curiously penetrating eyes and perfectly merged, honey-dipped harmonies, were oddly but comfortably settled as sentimental, soothing, sometimes lovelorn voices of a still-uncharted cultural turf. Magnificent as the duo was, they have until now never received a definitive biography. In Crying in the Rain: The Perfect Harmony and Imperfect Lives Of the Everly Brothers, the details, small and great, roll along on the mighty 'Mississippi,' in near novel-like fashion, revealing facts drawn from exhaustive research and first-hand interviews that trace the character and influences of these hardy but flawed men who grew from teenagers to old men before our eyes. Mark Ribowsky's authoritative book serves as a fitting companion to an unforgettable collection of songs—heard on countless albums, and covered literally thousands of times—whose recording was a long time gone but that will never be forgotten.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738535Tue, 02 Apr 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738535 to listen full audiobooks.

Set on the Jersey Shore in the free-range 1980s, Camerota finds the belonging she craves courtesy of a local punk rock band named Shrapnel and their diehard fans. Combat Love chronicles her near-misses and misadventures at clubs like CBGB and Max's Kansas City, coupled with the sex, drugs, and punk rock of 1980s New Jersey.

Combat Love is also the story of two women, mother and daughter, trying to forge their own paths and independence, and find their own happiness, success, and wholeness. Camerota's story searches for the line between shelter and risk, nurture and neglect, parenting and personal freedom. What are we willing to sacrifice for self-actualization and happiness?

Title: Turn It Up!: My Time Making Hit Records In The Glory Days Of Rock Music Author: Tom Werman Narrator: Tom Werman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 38 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: As an A&R man at Epic Records, Tom Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. Then, as an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Jeff Beck, Poison, and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and cumulative sales of more than fifty-two million copies. After bearing witness to several sea changes in the music industry, Werman retired from producing in 2001 and reinvented himself as an award-winning innkeeper in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. And that might have been that—until an off-the-cuff rebuttal to a disparaging critique of his role in making the Mötley Crüe album Girls, Girls, Girls on a music website led to a fortnightly column and now this book—an honest and engaging insider account on how some of the best-loved albums of the 1970s and '80s came to be.

She was one of a handful of lucky fans who were in the live audience for the Beatles' historic performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Everyone has a story about where they were when they watched the appearance, but very few were there in person—and even fewer would go on not just to meet the Beatles but end up building a career around the band. But Debbie did. This is the story of a New Jersey teenager who managed to accomplish what millions only dreamed about. Prior to the Beatles arrival in America, Gendler met with the group's manager regarding the establishment of a U.S. fan club. At the start of the Beatles' 1965 summer tour, she was the only teen to welcome them to America, and after their press conference at the Warwick Hotel she finally met them. Debbie recounts her unique and sometimes wacky experiences having witnessed first-hand some of the most historic events in pop culture. Organizing fans to sleep on Broadway to purchase tickets, representing the official fan club on television, and promoting the Ringo for President novelty record are just some of the requests she fulfilled as one of the band's leading ambassadors.

To those who think they have heard all there is to hear about Marilyn Monroe, think again. Leaming's book tells a brand-new tale of sexual, psychological, and political intrigue of the highest order. Told for the first time in all its complexity, this is a compelling portrait of a woman at the center of a drama with immensely high stakes, a drama in which the other players are some of the most fascinating characters from the worlds of movies, theater, and politics. It is a book that shines a bright light on one of the most tumultuous, frightening, and exciting periods in American culture. Basing her research on new interviews and on thousands of primary documents, Leaming has reconstructed the tangles of betrayal in Marilyn's life. For the first time, a master storyteller has put together all of the pieces and told Marilyn's story with the intensity and drama it so richly deserves. At the heart of this book is a sexual triangle and a riveting story of betrayal that has never been told before.

Title: Save Me from the Waves: An adventure from sea to summit Author: Jessica Hepburn Narrator: Jessica Hepburn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 25 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Includes BBC RADIO 4 DESERT ISLAND DISCS clips by Maya Angelou, Emma Thompson, Edmund Hillary and many more 'A breathtaking adventure of a truly inspirational woman' – Maxine Peake An adventure story – with a difference. From sea to summit. Fully soundtracked. Jessica Hepburn is an unlikely athlete – she was labelled the ‘arty’ not the ‘sporty’ one in school. She hates exercise and believes the only reason to do it is for food, booze and box-sets on the sofa. However, in her forties, following a succession of hard and sad life experiences she started to try and exercise her way out of heartbreak. She has now become one of the world’s most extraordinary endurance athletes. The first and only woman (currently) on the planet to have completed the ‘Sea, Street, Summit Challenge’ – which is to swim the English Channel, run the London Marathon and climb Mount Everest (which she calls Chomolungma – the mountain’s original Sherpa name). And possibly the only woman (although this can’t be officially certified) to have listened to eighty years and over 3,000 episodes of her favourite radio programme – Desert Island Discs.

Title: Save Me from the Waves: An adventure from sea to summit Author: Jessica Hepburn Narrator: Jessica Hepburn Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 25 minutes Release date: March 7, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Includes BBC RADIO 4 DESERT ISLAND DISCS clips by Maya Angelou, Emma Thompson, Edmund Hillary and many more 'A breathtaking adventure of a truly inspirational woman' – Maxine Peake An adventure story – with a difference. From sea to summit. Fully soundtracked. Jessica Hepburn is an unlikely athlete – she was labelled the ‘arty’ not the ‘sporty’ one in school. She hates exercise and believes the only reason to do it is for food, booze and box-sets on the sofa. However, in her forties, following a succession of hard and sad life experiences she started to try and exercise her way out of heartbreak. She has now become one of the world’s most extraordinary endurance athletes. The first and only woman (currently) on the planet to have completed the ‘Sea, Street, Summit Challenge’ – which is to swim the English Channel, run the London Marathon and climb Mount Everest (which she calls Chomolungma – the mountain’s original Sherpa name). And possibly the only woman (although this can’t be officially certified) to have listened to eighty years and over 3,000 episodes of her favourite radio programme – Desert Island Discs.

Title: The Silver River Author: Jim Moginie Narrator: Jim Moginie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 7 minutes Release date: March 6, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A moving and inspiring memoir of families lost and rediscovered, by a founding member of legendary band Midnight Oil. For fifty years, songwriter, guitarist and keyboard player Jim Moginie was a driving force behind one of Australia's most iconic rock bands, Midnight Oil. As they made their way through the nascent domestic punk scene and the uncharted musical territory of the Western Desert to the concert halls of Europe and America, the band members developed a feeling of 'five against the world'. For Jim, this de facto family was a bulwark against a nagging sense that something was missing from his life: he'd long known that his biological mother had given him up for adoption as a baby. While Midnight Oil grappled with the challenges of chart success, their political activism and global tours, Jim's quest to find his birth family increasingly led him in different directions, to the quiet suburbs of Canberra and the meandering rivers and verdant hills of rural Ireland - and emotional reunions with long-lost relatives. Threaded with vivid recollections of childhood, behind-the-scenes stories of band life and fascinating insights into the creative processes that produced some of this country's most beloved songs, The Silver River is at once a lyrical coming-of-age story, a heart-warming family chronicle and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Australian music.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/732198Wed, 06 Mar 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/732198 to listen full audiobooks.

Best known for playing loner rebel Dylan McKay in Beverly Hills, 90210, Luke Perry was fifty-two years old when he died of a stroke in 2019. There have been other deaths of nineties stars, but this one hit different. Gen X was reminded of their own inescapable mortality, and robbed of an exciting career resurgence for one of their most cherished icons—with recent roles in the hit series Riverdale and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood bringing him renewed attention and acclaim. Only upon his death, as stories poured out online about his authenticity and kindness, did it become clear how little was known about the exceedingly humble actor and how deeply he impacted popular culture. In A Good Bad Boy, Margaret Wappler attempts to understand who Perry was and why he was unique among his Hollywood peers. To do so, she uses an inventive hybrid narrative. She speaks with dozens who knew Perry personally and professionally. They share insightful anecdotes: how he kept connected to his Ohio upbringing; nearly blew his 90210 audition; tried to shed his heartthrob image by joining the HBO prison drama Oz; and in the last year of his life, sought to set up two of his newly divorced friends. (After his death, the pair bonded in their grief and eventually married.) Amid these original interviews and exhaustive archival research, Wappler weaves poignant vignettes of memoir in which she serves as an avatar to show how Perry shaped a generation’s views on masculinity, privilege, and the ideal of “cool.” Timed to the fifth anniversary of Perry’s death, A Good Bad Boy is a profound and entertaining examination of what it means to be an artist and an adult.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721814Tue, 05 Mar 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/721814 to listen full audiobooks.

Not only did he produce some of the most celebrated and recognizable music of all time, but his influence dramatically accelerated the development of musical composition. He was instrumental in raising the status of the composer from that of a court servant to one of an independent artist. Much has been written on Beethoven, including many substantial biographies. The most notable of these is a monumental work by Alexander Wheelock Thayer. But there are also many shorter and more accessible works, like this entertaining text by novelist, art historian, and music critic, Romain Rolland.

Title: Live from the Underground: A History of College Radio Author: Katherine Rye Jewell Narrator: Natasha Soudek Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 34 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Bands like R.E.M., U2, Public Enemy, and Nirvana found success as darlings of college radio, but the extraordinary influence of these stations and their DJs on musical culture since the 1970s was anything but inevitable. As media deregulation and political conflict over obscenity and censorship transformed the business and politics of culture, students and community DJs turned to college radio to defy the mainstream—and they ended up disrupting popular music and commercial radio in the process. In this first history of US college radio, Katherine Rye Jewell reveals that these eclectic stations in major cities and college towns across the United States owed their collective cultural power to the politics of higher education as much as they did to upstart bohemian music scenes coast to coast. Jewell uncovers how battles to control college radio were about more than music—they were an influential, if unexpected, front in the nation's culture wars. These battles created unintended consequences and overlooked contributions to popular culture that students, DJs, and listeners never anticipated.

Title: Drums & Demons: The Tragic Journey of Jim Gordon Author: Joel Selvin Narrator: David Bendena Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 37 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Jim Gordon was the greatest rock drummer of all-time. Just ask the world-famous musicians who played with him—John Lennon, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan, Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Cocker, and many more. They knew him for his superior playing, extraordinary training and technique, preternatural intuition, perfect sense of time, and his “big fill”—the mathematically-precise clatter that exploded like detonating fireworks on his drum breaks. And as bestselling author and award-winning journalist Joel Selvin reveals, the story of Jim Gordon is the most brilliant, turbulent, and wrenching rock opera ever. This riveting narrative follows Gordon as the very chemicals in his brain that gifted him also destroyed him. His head crowded with a hellish gang of voices screaming at him, demanding obedience, Gordon descended from the absolute heights of the rock world—playing with the most famous musicians of his generation—to working with a Santa Monica dive-bar band for $30 a night. And then he committed the most shocking crime in rock history. With full cooperation from the late Gordon's family and based on his trademark extensive, detailed research, Joel Selvin’s account is at once an epic journey through an artist’s monumental musical contributions, a rollicking history of rock drumming, and a terrifying downward spiral into the unimaginable madness that Gordon fought a valiant but losing battle against. One of the great untold stories of rock is finally being told.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728621Tue, 27 Feb 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/728621 to listen full audiobooks.

They knew him for his superior playing, extraordinary training and technique, preternatural intuition, perfect sense of time, and his “big fill”—the mathematically-precise clatter that exploded like detonating fireworks on his drum breaks. And as bestselling author and award-winning journalist Joel Selvin reveals, the story of Jim Gordon is the most brilliant, turbulent, and wrenching rock opera ever. This riveting narrative follows Gordon as the very chemicals in his brain that gifted him also destroyed him. His head crowded with a hellish gang of voices screaming at him, demanding obedience, Gordon descended from the absolute heights of the rock world—playing with the most famous musicians of his generation—to working with a Santa Monica dive-bar band for $30 a night. And then he committed the most shocking crime in rock history. With full cooperation from the late Gordon's family and based on his trademark extensive, detailed research, Joel Selvin’s account is at once an epic journey through an artist’s monumental musical contributions, a rollicking history of rock drumming, and a terrifying downward spiral into the unimaginable madness that Gordon fought a valiant but losing battle against. One of the great untold stories of rock is finally being told.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/flight-of-the-wasp-the-rise-fall-and-future-of-america-s-original-ruling-class-by-michael-gross--65312728https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734703 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Flight of the WASP: The Rise, Fall, and Future of America's Original Ruling Class Author: Michael Gross Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 13 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: For decades, writers have proclaimed the diminishment of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, who for generations were the dominant socio-cultural-political force in America. While the WASP elite has, in the last half century, indeed drifted from American centrality to the periphery, its relevance and impact remain, as Michael Gross reveals in his compelling chronicle. From Colonial America's founding settlements through the Gilded Age to the present day, Gross traces the complex legacy of American WASPs through the lives of fifteen influential individuals and their very privileged, sometimes intermarried families. As the clans progress, prosper, and periodically stumble, defining aspects in the four-century sweep of American history emerge: our wide, oft-contentious religious diversity; the deep scars of slavery, genocide, and intolerance; the creation and sometime mis-use of astonishing economic and political power; an instinct to offset inequity with philanthropy; an equal capacity for irresponsible, sometimes wanton, behavior. In previous acclaimed books such as 740 Park and Rogues' Gallery, Gross has explored elite culture in microcosm; expanding the canvas, Flight of the WASP chronicles it across four centuries and fifteen generations in an ambitious and consequential contribution to American history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734703Tue, 27 Feb 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734703 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Livin' Just to Find Emotion: Journey and the Story of American Rock Author: David Hamilton Golland Narrator: Michael Butler Murray Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 52 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Since exploding on the scene in the late 1970s, Journey has inspired generations of fans with hit after hit. But hidden under this rock 'n' roll glory is a complex story of ambition, larger-than-life personalities, and clashes. David Hamilton Golland unearths the band's true and complete biography, based on over a decade of interviews and thousands of sources. When Steve Perry joined jazz-blues progressive rock band Journey in 1977, they saw a rise to the top, and their 1981 album Escape hit #1. But Perry's quest for control led to Journey's demise. They lost their record contract and much of their audience. After the unlikely comeback of 'Don't Stop Believin'' in movies, television, and sports stadiums, a new generation discovered Journey. A professional historian, Golland dispels rehashed myths and also shows how race in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 70s, Journey used the rhythm of soul and Motown to inspire hope in primarily white teenagers' lives. Decades later, the band and their signature song remain classics, and now, with singer Arnel Pineda, they are again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738527Tue, 20 Feb 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738527 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Revolutions in American Music: Three Decades That Changed a Country and Its Sounds Author: Michael Broyles Narrator: John Mclain Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 35 minutes Release date: February 20, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: How did a European social dance craze become part of an American presidential election? Why did the recording industry become racially divided? Where did rock 'n' roll really come from? And how do all these things continue to reverberate in today's world? In Revolutions in American Music, award-winning author Michael Broyles shows the surprising ways in which three key decades—the 1840s, the 1920s, and the 1950s—shaped America's musical future. Drawing connections between new styles of music like the minstrel show, jazz, and rock 'n' roll, and emerging technologies like the locomotive, the first music recordings, and the transistor radio, Broyles argues that these decades fundamentally remade our cultural landscape in enduring ways. These connections revealed racial fault lines running through the business of music, in an echo of American society as a whole. Broyles combines broad historical perspective with an eye for the telling detail and presents a variety of characters to serve as focal points, including the original Jim Crow, a colorful Hungarian dancing master named Gabriel de Korponay, 'Empress of the Blues' Bessie Smith, and the singer Johnnie Ray, whom Tony Bennett called 'the father of rock 'n' roll.'

Throughout this audio book, Caroline shows how much joy she gets from spending time in her garden, whether it be grappling with the best way to grow plants and vegetables, or raising seeds in her potting shed. Though she now has a large following on her Instagram account, @CQGardens, her attitude to gardening is the same as it has always been – expertise helps, but is not essential. Gardening should be fun and enjoyable, filled with the simple pleasures of planning, planting, harvesting, and cooking. It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits. Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realize that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures. In this wonderful audio book, Caroline mixes personal stories from her life and experiences in the garden, with practical tips, recipes for food and drink, and even the occasional favorite poem.

It is also a meditative and restorative pastime, and a great way to lift your spirits. Written in a warm and engaging way that reflects her personality, Caroline tells stories of growing chillies from seed in her greenhouse, berating the thieving blackbirds in her fruit cage, and swimming in her pond singing to dragon flies and flag irises. Over the years, she has come to realize that gardening, just like life, is a series of happy accidents, unplanned successes, and baffling and frustrating failures.

Title: Dirty Days Author: Kevin Patrick Corrigan Narrator: Kevin Patrick Corrigan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 9 minutes Release date: February 8, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: DIRTY DAYS is a nonfiction narrative. The Setting - the tough Irish bars of New York City in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s. A place where life can change in an unforeseen instant. As a Bleecker street bouncer and musician during the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s in Greenwich Village, author and narrator Kevin Patrick Corrigan relives true stories of old school New York City. Kevin Patrick Corrigan has been a fixture in the New York City Irish bar and music scene for three decades. He estimates he's been in over 200 street and bar fights. He smiles when he says he has a record of 147 wins and 72 loses. He has had a major record deal. He has toured the country telling stories and singing songs. He has also written a nationally distributed comedy series. DIRTY DAYS spans from a seven year old Kevin's interaction with Times Square hookers in the 1970s to a full grown adult helping a distraught Gulf War Marine avoid a PTSD situation on Bleecker Street in 2003.

Title: August Wilson: A Life Author: Patti Hartigan Narrator: Dion Graham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 36 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The first authoritative biography of August Wilson, the most important and successful American playwright of the late 20th century, by a theater critic who knew him. August Wilson wrote a series of ten plays celebrating African American life in the 20th century, one play for each decade. No other American playwright has completed such an ambitious oeuvre. Two of the plays became successful films, Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis; and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. Fences and The Piano Lesson won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; Fences won the Tony Award for Best Play, and years after Wilson’s death in 2005, Jitney earned a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. Through his brilliant use of vernacular speech, Wilson developed unforgettable characters who epitomized the trials and triumphs of the African American experience. He said that he didn’t research his plays but wrote from “the blood’s memory,” a sense of racial history that he believed African Americans shared. Author and theater critic Patti Hartigan traced his ancestry back to slavery, and his plays echo with uncanny similarities to the history of his ancestors. She interviewed Wilson many times before his death and traces his life from his childhood in Pittsburgh (where nine of the plays take place) to Broadway. She also interviewed scores of friends, theater colleagues and family members, and conducted extensive research to tell the story of a writer who left an indelible imprint on American theater and opened the door for future playwrights of color.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733569Tue, 09 Jan 2024 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733569 to listen full audiobooks.

Amy Jade Winehouse nació un 14 de septiembre de 1983 en el seno de una familia judía del norte de Londres. Con tan solo veinte años debutó como cantante y compositora con su álbum «Frank», que rápidamente se convirtió en un éxito de ventas dentro y fuera de su país.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Bob Dylan Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 35 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: El artista que revolucionó la música popular, desde el folk hasta el blues, el rock y más allá. Un ícono capaz de cambiar las maneras de mirar y transitar el mundo de varias generaciones. El único músico que ha ganado el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Bob Dylan ya pasó los ochenta años, pero por todas las cosas que hizo se diría que vivió muchas vidas en una. Todavía sigue elaborando su legado de canciones inmortales (“Blowin´ in the wind” y “Like a Rolling Stone” entre las más conocidas). Con la misma pasión se abocó a la pintura, a una vocación religiosa personalísima, a la crítica social y a otras experimentaciones. Esa palabra, experimentación, quizás sea la que mejor defina su espíritu. La biografía de Dylan nos invita a recorrer todas estas décadas de búsqueda constante.

Title: The Cinema Of Orson Welles Author: Peter Bogdanovich Narrator: The Bell, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 1 minute Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Orson Welles, born in 1915 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, emerged as a multifaceted force in the realms of radio and cinema. His early foray into the arts began in his teenage years, and by 1938, he achieved nationwide recognition for his radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' 'The War of the Worlds.' This broadcast, presented as a series of news bulletins about a Martian invasion, caused widespread panic and showcased Welles' ability to captivate audiences through innovative storytelling. Welles' transition to film was marked by the groundbreaking 'Citizen Kane' in 1941. In this masterpiece, he played a pivotal role as co-writer, director, producer, and actor. Although it faced challenges initially, 'Citizen Kane' has since garnered acclaim for its narrative innovation and technical achievements. This film not only solidified Welles' position in cinema but also left an indelible mark on the history of filmmaking. Despite early successes, Welles encountered difficulties in Hollywood, struggling to secure funding and facing interference with some of his projects. His subsequent films, such as 'The Magnificent Ambersons' (1942), 'Touch of Evil' (1958), and 'Chimes at Midnight' (1965), showcased his creative prowess but also reflected the challenges he faced in the industry. Welles' contributions extended beyond filmmaking; he excelled as an actor, featuring prominently in films like 'The Third Man' (1949) and 'Compulsion' (1959). His performances, coupled with his distinctive voice, added layers to his artistic legacy. As he navigated the complexities of the film industry, Welles remained active, taking on diverse roles in projects like 'The Trial' (1962) and 'A Man for All Seasons' (1966). His resilience and willingness to challenge conventional norms continued to define his career.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738936Tue, 26 Dec 2023 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738936 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: William Blake Author: G. K. Chestertson Narrator: The Bell, Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 38 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: William Blake was an English poet, painter, and printmaker who lived during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born on November 28, 1757, in London, England, Blake displayed artistic and poetic talent from an early age. Despite facing financial difficulties and limited formal education, he developed into one of the most visionary and unconventional figures of the Romantic era. Blake's artistic endeavors spanned both visual arts and literature. As a poet, he is renowned for his innovative and symbolic verse, often exploring themes of spirituality, imagination, and the human experience. His most famous collection of poems is 'Songs of Innocence and Experience,' where he contrasts the idyllic world of innocence with the harsh realities of experience. Notable poems from this collection include 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger.' In addition to his poetic achievements, Blake was a skilled and imaginative visual artist. He was a self-taught engraver, producing intricate and highly symbolic illustrations for his own works. His method of 'illuminated printing' involved both text and illustrations being etched onto copper plates, allowing for a seamless integration of words and images. Some of his other notable works include 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' and prophetic books like 'The Book of Urizen' and 'The Four Zoas.' One of Blake's distinctive features was his unorthodox spiritual and philosophical beliefs. He was deeply critical of organized religion and the conventional morality of his time. Blake developed a personal mythology incorporating mystical and visionary elements, often challenging traditional Christian doctrines.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738935Tue, 26 Dec 2023 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/738935 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Geschichten aus den 70ern - Mein Lieblingssong, Band 1 (ungekürzt) Author: Stephan Falk, Andreas Ryll Narrator: Andreas Ryll, Stephan Falk Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 32 minutes Release date: December 22, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Wie eng Emotionen mit Musik verbunden sind, das erleben die Moderatoren Falk und Ryll regelmäßig in ihrem beliebten Podcast 'Mein Lieblingssong'. Im vorliegenden Album haben die beiden zwölf Geschichten an die 70er Jahre sorgfältig zusammengestellt. Im ersten Interview erzählt Andreas Bruhn, früheres Mitglied der Band 'Sisters of Mercy', warum 'Heroes' von David Bowie sein Lieblingssong ist und was er als Bandmitglied von 'Sisters of Mercy erlebt hat. Mit dem 'Song of the wind' von 1972 hat Ferdinand Svaricek einen instrumentalen Leckerbissen von Santana ausgesucht. Babička von Karel Gott ist der Lieblingssong von Uta Fussangel. Für Uta ist Babička der ultimative Familiensong und immer wieder auch eine Reise in Kindheitserinnerungen an ihre eigene Oma. Für Artur Frank war der Song 'New York, New York' von Frank Sinatra schon immer sein Lieblingssong. Mit 'Your Song' aus dem Jahr 1970 von Elton John hat Christof Mann vielleicht den 'größten' Song von Elton John als seinen Lieblingssong ausgewählt. Eine wahre Hymne für Überlebenskraft, Selbstbehauptung und Selbstständigkeit ist 'I will survive' von Gloria Gaynor, sagt Karin Diede-Becker. Durch ein besonderes Erlebnis wurde 'Am Fenster' von der Gruppe City aus dem Jahr 1977 der Lieblingssong von Peter Jumpertz. Wer ein musikalisches Wimmelbild erleben möchte, kommt an dem Lieblingssong von Uwe Schmalz nicht vorbei. 'Jungleland' von Bruce Springsteen bestimmt seit vielen Jahren Uwes Leben. Was Georg Feltes mit James Brown verbindet, das hat mit seinem Lieblingssong 'Listen to the music' von den Doobie Brothers zu tun. Mit 'Music' von John Miles hat Harry Fröhlich einen epochalen Song aus dem Jahr 1976 als seinen Lieblingssong ausgewählt. 'Ich weiß, was ich will' von Udo Jürgens steht für Peter Schmitz für ganz viel Liebe und Erinnerungen und prägt sein Leben bis heute. 'Wonderful tonight' von Eric Clapton ist Thomas Felgenträgers Lieblingssong und eine Ballade für die besondere Momente im Leben.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734126Fri, 22 Dec 2023 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/734126 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Carl Jung Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 36 minutes Release date: December 19, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Carl Jung sigue vigente por su influencia como creador de la psicología profunda y audaz comentarista de los símbolos a través de las culturas. En su paso por el psicoanálisis contribuyó a definir criterios terapéuticos y un método propio para la interpretación de los sueños. Luego se embarcó en una original exploración alternativa del inconsciente, relacionándolo con los mitos colectivos y personales, hasta llegar al concepto de “arquetipo”. La vida de Jung es fascinante porque su aventura intelectual se mezcla con viajes realmente intensos por distintas regiones del mundo.

It explores the impact on the target and on bystanders who have to decide how to react when they find a racist youth in their midst. Kevin heronJones has written this book to reflect his and other young Black people’s experiences with racism in school. He sees an urgent need to talk about how young people exhibit racist behaviour, to portray it honestly, and to explore how young people can confront it and speak out. Part of a well-off middle-class family living in suburban Toronto, Khalil moves for grade eight to a school that does not have many racialized students. He is befriended by school sports star Cameron, who convinces Khalil to play basketball. Khalil is uncomfortable with his friend’s racist statements and behaviour, despite Cameron’s professed admiration for Black culture. As his discomfort grows, Khalil is left with a choice: accept this as “reality” or take a stand for what’s right, even if it costs him friendships.

Title: The Art Of Dramatic Writing Author: Lajos Egri Narrator: Troy W. Hudson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 19 minutes Release date: December 18, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: 'The Art of Dramatic Writing' by Lajos Egri, a groundbreaking work first published in 1946, stands as a timeless guide for playwrights, screenwriters, and storytellers. At its core is Egri's concept of the 'premise,' emphasizing the need for a central idea that shapes the entire narrative. This premise serves as the foundation, offering writers a clear direction and audiences a cohesive experience. Egri's focus on character development is a highlight. He argues that characters must possess well-defined motivations rooted in their psychological makeup. By delving into these psychological aspects, Egri teaches writers how to craft characters with depth, authenticity, and a genuine sense of purpose within the story. The book explores various storytelling elements, including plot, conflict, and dialogue. Egri's insights into conflict are particularly noteworthy, emphasizing its role as the driving force in a narrative. He guides writers on building and escalating tension to captivate and engage audiences. Practical and instructive, Egri provides a framework for writers to analyze and enhance their work. Numerous examples from classical and contemporary literature illustrate his principles, making the book a theoretical guide and hands-on manual for improving storytelling skills. 'The Art of Dramatic Writing' has left a lasting impact, influencing generations of writers and remaining a staple in creative writing programs. Its enduring relevance lies in its timeless principles, applicable across genres and mediums.

But what exactly is a Rap anyway? Before they know it, they’ve all signed up to be contestants – they have to compose and perform their own work! Not only are they up for a challenge to create the best words and the best moves, there’s also the issue of how to use rhythm. Because there’s rhythm in words and rhythm in music, and raps use rhythm too. So the race is on to do their best – it’s a team effort, isn’t it? And then of course there’s also practice that needs to happen. After all, the saying is that ‘practice makes perfect’! The big day has arrived. Raps will be judged on technique, style, creativity, and originality. And what about the actual performance? Well, it has to be confident, well-presented, and (you guessed it) memorised. Luckily, they’ve all prepared steadily for this, and so the audience is treated to an evening of stage delights that includes marching, rocking, reeling, dancing, and more.

Estuvo activo literariamente desde la década de 1930 hasta su muerte en 1998. Aunque supo ser entre otras cosas ensayista y diplomático, en casi todas sus búsquedas (incluido sus variables compromisos políticos) latía el intento de lograr una comunión entre poesía y vida. En la obra de Paz dialogaban el surrealismo, la generación del ´27 española, las tradiciones hindúes y las muchas vetas de la cultura mexicana. Fue Premio Nobel en 1990 y Premio Cervantes en 1981. De su pluma salieron libros como “Libertad bajo palabra”, “El mono gramático” y “La llama doble”.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729744Tue, 12 Dec 2023 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/729744 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Starmaker: David O. Selznick and the Production of Stars in the Hollywood Studio System Author: Milan Hain Narrator: Brian Troxell Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 37 minutes Release date: December 8, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: David O. Selznick (1902–1965) was one of the most prominent film producers of the Hollywood studio era, responsible for such artistic and commercial triumphs as King Kong, David Copperfield, Anna Karenina, A Star Is Born, Gone with the Wind, Rebecca, Spellbound, and The Third Man. However, film production was not his only domain. Starting in the late 1930s, he built an impressive stable of stars within his own independent company, including Ingrid Bergman, Vivien Leigh, Joan Fontaine, Jennifer Jones, and Gregory Peck. In Starmaker: David O. Selznick and the Production of Stars in the Hollywood Studio System, author Milan Hain reveals the mechanisms by which Selznick and his collaborators discovered and promoted new stars and describes how these personalities were marketed, whether for financial gain or symbolic recognition and prestige. Using a wide range of archival materials, the book significantly complements and reshapes our understanding of Selznick's celebrated career by focusing on heretofore neglected aspects of his creative and business activities. It also sheds light on the US film industry during the Golden Age of Hollywood studios and in the postwar period when the established order began to break down. By structuring the book around Selznick and his role as a starmaker, Hain demonstrates that star production and development in the Hollywood studio system was a highly organized and systematic activity, though the respective strategies and procedures were often hidden from the public eye.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733833Fri, 08 Dec 2023 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/733833 to listen full audiobooks.

Alles Fake News aus dem Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten? Vince Ebert wollte es genau wissen und startete ein spektakuläres Experiment: Ein ganzes Jahr in den USA! Er traf auf IT-Spezialisten aus dem Silicon Valley und in New York auf Wallstreet-Banker. In Cape Canaveral sprach er mit Raketenwissenschaftlern und in Harvard mit Genderforscher-Unterstrich-Studenten-Unterstrich-Sternchen-Innen. Stets auf der Suche nach den elementarsten Fragen: Wie kann es sein, dass eine Nation, die zum Mond flog, nicht in der Lage ist, eine funktionsfähige Duscharmatur herzustellen? Woher kommt die uramerikanische Angst vor unpasteuristierter Milch? Und kann man wirklich vom Tellerwäscher zum Millionär werden? Oder doch nur zum Geschirrspüler? Amerika - ein Land, das polarisiert und irritiert. Dort gibt es schwarz und weiß, Liebe und Hass, Freiheit und Todesstrafe, Prüderie und Brustvergrößerungen, Eliteunis und Käse in Sprühdosen. Amerikanische Schüler halten Hitler für eine Staubsaugermarke und glauben, die Ukraine liege in Portugal. In Montana kommen auf jeden Einwohner drei Kühe, jeder achte Amerikaner hat schon einmal bei MacDonalds gejobbt und ein Viertel glaubt an Wiedergeburt. Trotzdem sind die USA die führende Wissenschaftsnation der Welt. Oder vielleicht sogar deshalb? Make Science Great Again! – eine witzige und kulturübergreifende Abrechnung mit Irrationalität, Denkfehlern und gegenseitigem Überlegenheitsgefühl.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731499Fri, 01 Dec 2023 07:33:23 +0000Jaleel McDermottPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/731499 to listen full audiobooks.

Digamos: una fiesta a la queasisten Frida Kahlo y Diego Rivera, Rigo Tovar y Aurora Reyes, Enriqueta Ochoa y Cantinflas, Vicente Rojo y Olga Breeskin, todo el exilio español y todo el elenco de Avándaro.

Title: From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots: How Music, Clothes and Going Out Shaped My Life and Upset My Mother Author: Geoff Deane Narrator: Geoff Deane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: As the lead singer of Modern Romance he toured the world, as the screenwriter of Kinky Boots he conquered Hollywood, now comes Geoff Deane's latest act as a quite brilliant and witty ranconteur in his hilarious memoir From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots…. Geoff has been a fly-pitcher working out of a suitcase, and flogged suits on Brick Lane market in London's East End. He was the singer in a much-loved culty punk band the Leyton Buzzards, a floppy-haired pop star in Modern Romance, a songwriter, and record producer. He wrote a gay anthem for John Waters drag queen muse Divine, worked as journalist and restaurant critic for style magazines The Face and Arena, before becoming a successful writer and producer of TV comedy. And then hewrote a couple of films, one of which, Kinky Boots became a Tony Award winning Broadway stage show. This is the tale of life lived large, a collection of uproarious and often moving stories from Geoff's youth as a clothes obsessed Jewish suedehead, hanging out in Tottenham dancehalls, via straight Bowie Boy frequenting London's gay clubs, gender confusion in Manhattan's Studio 54, and on to huge career success as a screenwriter. With a cast ranging from local oddballs to international celebrities, Geoff Deane's unique take on the world is only matched by his extraordinarily rich use of language, with a smattering of Cockney rhyming slang, Yiddish and Polari.

Title: From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots: How Music, Clothes and Going Out Shaped My Life and Upset My Mother Author: Geoff Deane Narrator: Geoff Deane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: As the lead singer of Modern Romance he toured the world, as the screenwriter of Kinky Boots he conquered Hollywood, now comes Geoff Deane's latest act as a quite brilliant and witty ranconteur in his hilarious memoir From Mohair Suits to Kinky Boots…. Geoff has been a fly-pitcher working out of a suitcase, and flogged suits on Brick Lane market in London's East End. He was the singer in a much-loved culty punk band the Leyton Buzzards, a floppy-haired pop star in Modern Romance, a songwriter, and record producer. He wrote a gay anthem for John Waters drag queen muse Divine, worked as journalist and restaurant critic for style magazines The Face and Arena, before becoming a successful writer and producer of TV comedy. And then hewrote a couple of films, one of which, Kinky Boots became a Tony Award winning Broadway stage show. This is the tale of life lived large, a collection of uproarious and often moving stories from Geoff's youth as a clothes obsessed Jewish suedehead, hanging out in Tottenham dancehalls, via straight Bowie Boy frequenting London's gay clubs, gender confusion in Manhattan's Studio 54, and on to huge career success as a screenwriter. With a cast ranging from local oddballs to international celebrities, Geoff Deane's unique take on the world is only matched by his extraordinarily rich use of language, with a smattering of Cockney rhyming slang, Yiddish and Polari.

Title: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Author: David Allen Narrator: Richard Mayes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 1, 1978 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart  Austrian composer, widely recognized as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. With Haydn and Beethoven he brought to its height the achievement of the Viennese Classical school. Unlike any other composer in musical history, he wrote in all the musical genres of his day and excelled in every one. His taste, his command of form, and his range of expression have made him seem the most universal of all composers; yet, it may also be said that his music was written to accommodate the specific tastes of particular audiences. (Britannica). Mozart is without doubt also the most famous of all musical child prodigies. At the age of 6 he enthralled the Austrian Court with his unbelievable virtuosity. Yet he died friendless and in poverty at the age of 36, a victim of jealousy, and vicious intrigue. Mozart's story is a tragedy, but one filled with superb music; for he brought new colour, passion and power to opera, symphony and concerto. Credits: Mozart: Robert Rietty.

Title: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Author: Kenneth Allen Narrator: Richard Mayes, Steve Hodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 59 minutes Release date: January 1, 1978 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer of the Romantic period. He was the first Russian composer whose music would make a lasting impression internationally. Tchaikovsky wrote some of the most popular concert and theatrical music in the current classical repertoire, including the ballets Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, the 1812 Overture, his First Piano Concerto, violin Concerto, the Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy and the opera Eugene Onegin. "An artist should not be troubled by the indifference of his contemporaries. He should go on working and say all that he is predestined to say. He should know that posterity alone can deliver a true and just verdict". So said Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - and posterity has delivered its verdict. His music is glorious, uplifting, soulful, humourous and wonderfullymelodic. Thchaikovsky  regarded music as something to be savoured and shared, and he worked hard and long to that end. This Chiron biodrama reveals much of his troubled life and times -  and presents many extracts from his marvellous music.
