The actress Uzo Aduba came of age grappling with a master juggling act: as one of few Black families in their white Massachusetts suburb, she and her siblings were the unexpected presence in whatever school room or sports team they joined. But Aduba was also rooted by a fierce and nonnegotiable sense of belonging and extraordinary worth that stemmed from her mother’s powerful vision for her children, and their connection to generations of family in Nigeria. The alchemy of being out of place yet driven by fearless conviction powered Aduba to success.  The Road Is Good is more than the journey of a young woman determined to survive young adulthood — and to create a workable identity for herself. It is the story of an incredible mother and a testament to matriarchal power. When Aduba’s mother falls ill, the origin of her own power crystallizes and Aduba leaps into a caretaker role, uniquely prepared by the history and tools her mother passed along to become steward of her ancestoral legacy.   Deeply mining her family history—gripping anecdotes her mother, aunts, and uncles shared in passing at family celebrations and her own discoveries through countless auditions in New York and her travels to Nigeria—Aduba pieces together a life story imbued with guiding lessons that are both personal and profoundly universal.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702345Tue, 24 Sep 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702345 to listen full audiobooks.

To follow that love, he and his family move, nearly at random, to the small, rural, scratchy-hot village of Autignac in the south of the country, and he immediately thinks he’s made a terrible mistake. Life here is not holding your cigarette chest-high while walking to the café and pulling off the trick of pretending to be Parisian, it’s getting into fights with your wife because you won’t break character and introduce your very American family to the locals, who can smell you and your perfect city-French from a mile away.   But through cooking what the local grocer tells him to cook, he feels more of this place. A neighbor leads him into the world of winemaking, where he learns not as a pedantic oenophile, but bodily, as a grape picker and winemaker’s apprentice. Along the way, he lets go of the abstract ideas he’d held about France, discovering instead the beauty of a culture that is one with its landscape, and of becoming one with that culture.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715822Tue, 09 Jul 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/715822 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: T-Shirt Swim Club: Stories from Being Fat in a World of Thin People Author: Alisa Karmel, Ian Karmel Narrator: Alisa Karmel, Ian Karmel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 44 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 3 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Comedian Ian Karmel, with help from his sister, Dr. Alisa Karmel, opens up about the daily humiliations of being fat and why it’s so hard to talk about something so visible. “As charming and funny as it is poignant and thoughtful.”—Roxane Gay, author of Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body Ian Karmel has weighed eight pounds and he has weighed 420 pounds and right now he’s almost exactly in between the two, but this book is not a weight-loss book. It’s about being a fat person in a skinny world. It’s about gym class and football practice, about chicken wings and juice cleanses, about airplane seats and roller coasters, about fat jokes and Jabba the Hutt, about crying in the Big and Tall section and the joys of being a sneakerhead, about prediabetes and gout, and about realizing that you actually don’t want to eat yourself to death and hoping it’s not too late. This book also includes a “What Now?” section from Ian’s sister, Alisa, who herself cycled through so many fad diets that she eventually pursued a master’s in nutrition and a doctorate in psychology with the goal of changing the contemporary narrative around fatness. Ian and Alisa Karmel grew up fat. As kids, they never talked about it. They were too busy fighting over the last SnackWell’s Devil’s Food cookie. Now, decades later, having both turned into fat adults who eventually figured out how to get their health under control, they are finally ready to unpack the impact that their weight has had on them. For them, the T-Shirt Swim Club is meant to be a place of support for anyone who struggles with weight issues. A place of care and candor, free of shame.

Title: T-Shirt Swim Club: Stories from Being Fat in a World of Thin People Author: Alisa Karmel, Ian Karmel Narrator: Alisa Karmel, Ian Karmel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 44 minutes Release date: June 11, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 3 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Comedian Ian Karmel, with help from his sister, Dr. Alisa Karmel, opens up about the daily humiliations of being fat and why it’s so hard to talk about something so visible. “As charming and funny as it is poignant and thoughtful.”—Roxane Gay, author of Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body Ian Karmel has weighed eight pounds and he has weighed 420 pounds and right now he’s almost exactly in between the two, but this book is not a weight-loss book. It’s about being a fat person in a skinny world. It’s about gym class and football practice, about chicken wings and juice cleanses, about airplane seats and roller coasters, about fat jokes and Jabba the Hutt, about crying in the Big and Tall section and the joys of being a sneakerhead, about prediabetes and gout, and about realizing that you actually don’t want to eat yourself to death and hoping it’s not too late. This book also includes a “What Now?” section from Ian’s sister, Alisa, who herself cycled through so many fad diets that she eventually pursued a master’s in nutrition and a doctorate in psychology with the goal of changing the contemporary narrative around fatness. Ian and Alisa Karmel grew up fat. As kids, they never talked about it. They were too busy fighting over the last SnackWell’s Devil’s Food cookie. Now, decades later, having both turned into fat adults who eventually figured out how to get their health under control, they are finally ready to unpack the impact that their weight has had on them. For them, the T-Shirt Swim Club is meant to be a place of support for anyone who struggles with weight issues. A place of care and candor, free of shame. A place to not deny or avoid the emotions you feel, the experiences you go through, the embarrassment, the anger, the resentment. T-Shirt Swim Club is about being a fat person and how the world treats fat people—but also an acknowledgment that maybe it doesn’t always have to feel quite so lonely.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/i-was-there-dispatches-from-a-life-in-rock-and-roll-by-alan-edwards--65312911https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710786 to listen full audiobooks. Title: I Was There: Dispatches from a Life in Rock and Roll Author: Alan Edwards Narrator: Alan Edwards Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 25 minutes Release date: June 6, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: I Was There is a memoir by Alan Edwards, the godfather of modern music PR, whose stellar list of clients has ranged over the years from the Rolling Stones to the Spice Girls via the Stranglers, Blondie, Prince, Britney Spears, Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse and, outside of music, David Beckham and Naomi Campbell. Edwards describes getting his break in the mid 1970s as a scruffy, stoned 20 year old just back from the hippy trail; his encounter with London’s thriving punk scene, which inspired him to set up his own PR company; finding success and broadening his horizons as his work with the likes of Blondie and Bowie takes him to the US and beyond. He brings the reader up to the present day through a series of vivid, funny, always insightful behind the scenes vignettes, whether it’s playing a spontaneous game of football with Bob Marley, listening to Prince discuss the future of civilisation in a nightclub VIP area, or being used as a pawn in the power struggle between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Along the way, we’re treated to all the entertaining tales of debauchery and rock-star antics you might expect, but more uniquely we’re privy to Edwards’ fascinating observations about the brilliant artists he has worked with, and what makes them tick. We also get a front-row seat to the rise of PR as a major force in British society, from the seven-figure media deal Edwards brokered for the Beckhams’ wedding, to the role of spin in the New Labour government.   Even as Edwards grows into the consummate PR, playing a crucial background role in the lives and careers of some of the world’s biggest stars, he retains a powerful sense of being an outsider – never forgetting how lucky he is to look back on decades of music and culture and say, ‘I was there’.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710786Thu, 06 Jun 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710786 to listen full audiobooks.

Jennings joked that he hoped the plane, leaving without him, would crash. When it did, killing all aboard, on "the Day the Music Died," he was devastated and never fully recovered.   Jennings switched to playing country, creating the Outlaw movement and later forming the Highwaymen supergroup, the first in country music, with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. The foursome battled addiction, record companies, ex-wives, violent fans, and the I.R.S. and D.E.A., en route to unprecedented mainstream success. Today, their acolytes Kacey Musgraves, Ryan Bingham, Sturgill Simpson, and Taylor Swift outsell all challengers, and country is the most popular of all genres.   In this fascinating new book, Brian Fairbanks draws a line from Buddy Holly through the Outlaw stars of the 60s and 70s, all the way to the country headliners and more diverse, up-and-coming Nashville rebels of today, bringing the reader deep into the worlds of not only Cash, Nelson, Kristofferson, and Jennings but artists like Chris Stapleton, Simpson, Bingham, and Isbell, stadium-filling masters whose stories have not been told in book form, as well as new, diverse artists like the Highwomen, Brittney Spencer, and Allison Russell.

An instant classic, Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. would prove itself to be a landmark not only for the man who made it, but rock music in general and even the larger American culture over the next 40 years.   In There Was Nothing You Could Do, veteran rock critic Steven Hyden shows exactly how this record became such a pivotal part of the American tapestry. Alternating between insightful criticism, meticulous journalism, and personal anecdotes, Hyden delves into the songs that made—and didn’t make—the final cut, including the tracks that wound up on its sister album, 1982’s Nebraska. He also investigates the myriad reasons why Springsteen ran from and then embraced the success of his most popular (and most misunderstood) LP, as he carefully toed the line between balancing his commercial ambitions and being co-opted by the machine. But the book doesn’t stop there. Beyond Springsteen’s own career, Hyden explores the role the album played in a greater historical context, documenting not just where the country was in the tumultuous aftermath of Vietnam and Watergate, but offering a dream of what it might become—and a perceptive forecast of what it turned into decades later. As Springsteen himself reluctantly conceded, many of the working-class middle American progressives Springsteen wrote about in 1984 had turned into resentful and scorned Trump voters by the 2010s. And though it wasn’t the future he dreamed of, the cautionary warnings tucked within Springsteen’s heartfelt lyrics prove that the chaotic turmoil of our current moment has been a long time coming. How did we lose Springsteen’s heartland? And what can listening to this prescient album teach us about the decline of our country?

At its helm was an unassuming theater professor, Hallie Flanagan. It employed, at its peak, over twelve thousand struggling artists, some of whom, like Orson Welles and Arthur Miller, would soon be famous, but most of whom were just ordinary people eager to work again at their craft. It was the product of a moment when the arts, no less than industry and agriculture, were thought to be vital to the health of the republic, bringing Shakespeare to the public, alongside modern plays that confronted the pressing issues of the day—from slum housing and public health to racism and the rising threat of fascism.  The Playbook takes us through some of its most remarkable productions, including a groundbreaking Black production of Macbeth in Harlem and an adaptation of Sinclair Lewis’s anti-fascist novel It Can’t Happen Here that opened simultaneously in 18 cities, underscoring the Federal Theatre’s incredible range and vitality. But this once thriving Works Progress Administration relief program did not survive and has left little trace. For the Federal Theatre was the first New Deal project to be attacked and ended on the grounds that it promoted “un-American” activity, sowing the seeds not only for the McCarthyism of the 1950s but also for our own era of merciless polarization. It was targeted by the first House un-American Affairs Committee, and its demise was a turning point in American cultural life—for, as Shapiro brilliantly argues, “the health of democracy and theater, twin born in ancient Greece, have always been mutually dependent.” A defining legacy of this culture war was how the strategies used to undermine and ultimately destroy the Federal Theatre were assembled by a charismatic and cunning congressman from East Texas, the now largely forgotten Martin Dies, who in doing so pioneered the right-wing political playbook now so prevalent that it seems eternal.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718646Tue, 28 May 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718646 to listen full audiobooks.

Doobie Brothers. Steely Dan. Chart topping soloist. Across a half-century of American music, Michael McDonald’s unmistakably smooth baritone voice defined an era of rock and R&B with hit records like “What A Fool Believes,” “Takin’ It to the Streets,” “I Keep Forgettin’,” “Peg,” “It Keeps You Running,” “You Belong to Me,” and “Yah Mo B There.” In his candid, freewheeling memoir, written with his friend, the Emmy Award-nominated actor and comedian Paul Reiser, Michael tells the story of his life and music. A high school dropout from Ferguson, Missouri, Michael chased his dreams in 1970’s California, a heady moment of rock opportunity and excess. As a rising session musician and backing vocalist, a series of encounters would send him on a wild ride around the world and to the heights of rock stardom—from joining Steely Dan and becoming a defining member of The Doobie Brothers to forging a path as a breakout solo R&B artist. Interwoven with the unforgettable tales of the music, Michael tells a deeply affecting story of losing and finding himself as a man. He reckons with the unshakeable insecurities that drove him, the drug and alcohol addictions that plagued him, and the highs and lows of popularity. Along the way he relays the lessons he’s learned, and that if he’s learned anything at all it’s that there’s often little correlation between what you get and what you deserve. Filled with unbelievable stories and a matchless cast of music greats including James Taylor, Ray Charles, Carly Simon, and Quincy Jones, What a Fool Believes is a moving and entertaining memoir that is sure to be a classic.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/706645Tue, 21 May 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/706645 to listen full audiobooks.

Paul Scheer has entertained countless fans and podcast listeners with stories about the odd, wild, and absurd details of his life. Yet these tales have pointed to deeper, more difficult truths that the actor and comedian has kept to himself. Now, he is finally ready to share those truths for the first time—but, of course, with a healthy dose of humor. Blending the confident, affable voice that has won him a dedicated following with a refreshing level of candor, Joyful Recollections of Trauma chronicles Paul’s often shocking, admittedly tumultuous childhood and how the experiences of his youth have reverberated throughout his life. In his comedy, Paul has always been unafraid to “go there,” to play naïve, cringeworthy characters, imbuing them with disarming charm and humanity. That daring openness is on display in the pages of this memoir, but in true Paul fashion, it is also surprising, eye-opening, and side-splitting. In this madcap journey through the inner working of his mind and creative process, Paul Scheer demonstrates once again that the truth is often stranger—and funnier—than fiction. Joyful Recollections of Trauma offers a unique perspective on universal themes: growing up, working through a challenging childhood, staying true to yourself, and finding success, fulfillment, and happiness in often strange and difficult circumstances. Throughout, Paul shares both the hard-fought lessons and the laughter that can be found in the darkest parts of life, and reminds us that what matters is not what you’ve been through but who you are becoming. If you loved recent memoirs by Molly Shannon, Maria Bamford, RuPaul, and Jennette McCurdy—or any book that moves you to both laughter and tears—Joyful Recollections of Trauma is the perfect read for you.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/705860Tue, 21 May 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/705860 to listen full audiobooks.

For over a decade, Charlamagne Tha God has cohosted iHeartRadio’s nationally syndicated morning radio show The Breakfast Club and has proven his power as a culture mover and thought leader, by being his completely authentic self on-air. From his famous “You ain't black” moment with President Biden, to heartfelt chats with cultural icons like Sean “Jay-Z” Carter and Judy Blume, to viral classics with Kamala Harris and Soulja Boy, his incredible reach and impact on American culture continues to grow. In Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks, Charlamagne takes full command of his new perch, broadening his scope and embracing his life roles as a cultural curator, social commentator, job-creator, mental health advocate, and Girl Dad in ways we’ve never seen before. In his signature irreverent style, he looks at the world through his own lens, concluding that many of our divisions, our unhappiness, and our dissatisfactions stem from our failure to have meaningful conversations with each other. With lessons pulled from his past, and an eye on the future, Get Honest or Die Lying: Why Small Talk Sucks makes us laugh, cry, and think as Charlamagne shares his thoughts on growth, empowerment, and evolution in our fast-changing world. In short—it’s time to stop lying to each other, and ourselves. Fame, money, social media, politics, hip-hop culture, and fatherhood, he takes it all on here.

Perfect for fans of My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy, What Remains, and Fairy Tale Interrupted. A quarter of a century after the plane crash that claimed the lives of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn, and her sister Lauren, the magnitude of this tragedy remains fresh. Yet, Carolyn is still an enigmatic figure, a woman whose short life in the spotlight was besieged with misogyny and cruelty. Amidst today’s cultural reckoning about the way our media treats women, Elizabeth Beller “reveals the true woman behind the mystery, and what a woman she turns out to be: fabulous, fierce, fashionable, flawed…formidable” (J. Randy Taraborrelli, New York Times bestselling author). When she began dating America’s prince, Carolyn was thrust into an overwhelming spotlight filled with cruelly relentless paparazzi who reacted to her reserve with a campaign of harassment and vilification. To this day, she is still depicted as a privileged princess—icy, vapid, and drug-addicted. She has even been accused of being responsible for their untimely death, allegedly delaying take-off until she finished her pedicure. But now, the truth is finally unveiled. A fiercely independent woman devoted to her adopted city and career, Carolyn relied on her impeccable eye and drive to fly up the ranks at Calvin Klein in the glossy, high-stakes fashion world of the 1990s. When Carolyn met her future husband, John was immediately drawn to her strong-willed personality, effortless charm, and high intelligence. Their relationship would change her life and catapult her to dizzying fame, but it was her vibrant life before their marriage and then hidden afterwards, that is truly fascinating.

Rise of a Killah is Ghost’s autobiography, focusing on the people, places and events that mean the most to him as he enters his fourth decade writing and performing. It’s a beautiful and intense book, going back to the creative ferment that led to Ghost’s first handwritten rhymes. Dive into Ghost’s defining personal moments, his battles with his personal demons, his journey to Africa, his religious viewpoints, his childhood in Staten Island, and his commitment to his family (including his two brothers with muscular dystrophy), from the Clan’s early successes to the pinnacle of Ghost’s career touring and spreading his wings as a solo artist, fashion icon, and trendsetter. Rise of a Killah gives a “real feel” narrative of Ghost’s life as he sees it, a one of a kind holy grail for Wu-Tang and Ghost fans alike.

Title: Rise of a Killah Author: Ghostface Killah Narrator: Landon Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 49 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The story of the celebrated rapper and the iconic Wu-Tang Clan, told by one of its founding members Dennis Coles—aka Ghostface Killah—is a cofounder of the Wu-Tang Clan, a legendary hip-hop group that established itself by breaking all the rules, taking their music to the streets during the genre's golden era on a decade-long wave of releasing anthem after classic anthem, and serving as the foundation of modern hip-hop. Rise of a Killah is Ghost’s autobiography, focusing on the people, places and events that mean the most to him as he enters his fourth decade writing and performing. It’s a beautiful and intense book, going back to the creative ferment that led to Ghost’s first handwritten rhymes. Dive into Ghost’s defining personal moments, his battles with his personal demons, his journey to Africa, his religious viewpoints, his childhood in Staten Island, and his commitment to his family (including his two brothers with muscular dystrophy), from the Clan’s early successes to the pinnacle of Ghost’s career touring and spreading his wings as a solo artist, fashion icon, and trendsetter. Rise of a Killah gives a “real feel” narrative of Ghost’s life as he sees it, a one of a kind holy grail for Wu-Tang and Ghost fans alike.

Title: Hollywood Pride: A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Representation and Perseverance in Film Author: Alonso Duralde Narrator: Alonso Duralde Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 36 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: For generations, members of the LGBTQ+ community in Hollywood needed to be discreet about their lives but—make no mistake—they were everywhere, both in front of and behind the camera. On the eve of the twentieth century, in Thomas Edison’s laboratory, one of the earliest attempts at a sound film depicted two men dancing together as a third plays the violin. It’s only a few minutes long, but this cornerstone of early cinema captured a queer moment on film. It would not be the last. With Hollywood Pride, renowned film critic Alonso Duralde presents a history spanning from the dawn of cinema through the “pansy craze” of the 1930s and the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s, all the way up to today. He showcases the hard-working actors, writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, art directors, and choreographers whose achievements defined the American film industry and charts the evolution of LGBTQ+ storytelling itself—the way mainstream Hollywood decided it would portray (or erase) their lives and the narratives created by queer filmmakers who fought to tell those stories themselves. Along the way, listeners will encounter a fascinating cast of characters, such as the first generation of queer actors, including J. Warren Kerrigan, Ramon Novarro, and William Haines. Early cinema pioneers like Alla Nazimova and F. W. Murnau helped shape the new medium of moving pictures. The sex symbols, both male (Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter, and Anthony Perkins) and female (Lizabeth Scott and Greta Garbo), lived under the threat of their private lives undermining their public personas. Underground filmmakers Kenneth Anger and John Waters made huge strides in LGBTQ+ representation with their off-off-Hollywood productions in the 1960s and ’70s. These screen legends paved the way for every openly queer figure in Hollywood today. Hollywood Pride points to the bright future of LGBTQ+ representation in cinema by revealing the story of the community’s inclusion and erasure, its visibility and invisibility, and its triumphs and tragedies.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/709481Tue, 14 May 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/709481 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts) Author: Serj Tankian Narrator: Serj Tankian Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 57 minutes Release date: May 14, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.75 of Total 4 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: An exhilarating, thoughtful, and beautifully written memoir by musician, songwriter, and lead singer-lyricist of Grammy award-winning metal band, System Of A Down, Serj Tankian.    Serj Tankian will be the first to admit that his band, System Of A Down, was “unlikely a chart-topper as had ever existed in modern music history: a band of Armenian-Americans playing a practically unclassifiable clash of wildly aggressive metal riffs, unconventional tempo-twisting rhythms, and Armenian folk melodies, with me alternately growling, screaming, and crooning lyrics that could pivot from avant-garde silliness to raging socio-political rants in the space of a single line.” After all, as Serj concedes, “it’s not easy listening.”   Even so, there’s no doubt that System’s music had struck a chord with millions of listeners across the globe ever since they burst on the scene in the mid-1990s. With nearly 40 million album sales, three albums topping the Billboard charts, and a devoted legion of fans, the band dominated the alt-rock and metal scenes just as the world hurtled into a new millennium, redefining the very idea of what rockstars could and couldn’t talk about, could and couldn’t do, could and couldn’t represent.    In DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM, Serj presents readers with a memoir that is far more than just a rock 'n' roll fable. It's an immigrant's tale, it’s an activist's awakening, and it's a spiritual journey from darkness toward light. And all of this comes down to the fact that Serj himself has had the chance to live an extraordinary life—thanks to a combination of luck, circumstance, struggle, talent, and spiritual awakening. Born to Armenian parents in Beirut, Serj grows up hearing bombs drop outside his childhood home during the country’s civil war, before moving to Los Angeles at the age of seven. As a young man, he is immersed in the SoCal community of “Little Armenia,” learning more and more about the brutal genocide faced by his ancestors while helping his parents adapt to the constraints and contradictions of the American Dream. Then, during a pivotal drive home from an LSAT class, Serj decides to turn away from a promising future in business and law to make music instead—a decision that leads him to touring five continents as the lead singer of a hugely popular rock band, hitting number #1 on the Billboard album charts the morning of 9/11, and then having the hit single from the same album banned from radio two days later. In the years that follow, his uniquely singular story continues, as he evades glass bottles hurled at a cancelled show by angry Slayer fans, teams up with Tom Morello to push social justice causes on unsuspecting metalheads, argues with LAPD officers over the best way to quell rioting fans, and defines new sounds and singing tactics with Rick Rubin.    Braiding together Serj’s thought-provoking insight with heartfelt and poetic prose, DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM retraces Serj’s remarkable and unlikely journey, and explores what it’s taught him—about music, about art, about activism, and about himself. It’s an unforgettable ride that will leave you breathless—and an absolute delight for new fans and old ones alike.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719031Tue, 14 May 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719031 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Jazzmen: How Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie Transformed America Author: Larry Tye Narrator: Dominic Hoffman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 44 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times bestselling author of Satchel and Bobby Kennedy, a sweeping and spellbinding portrait of the longtime kings of jazz—Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie—who, born within a few years of one another, overcame racist exclusion and violence to become the most popular entertainers on the planet. This is the story of three revolutionary American musicians, the maestro jazzmen who orchestrated the chords that throb at the soul of twentieth-century America. Duke Ellington, the grandson of slaves who was christened Edward Kennedy Ellington, was a man whose story is as layered and nuanced as his name suggests and whose music transcended category. Louis Daniel Armstrong was born in a New Orleans slum so tough it was called The Battlefield and, at age seven, got his first musical instrument, a ten-cent tin horn that drew buyers to his rag-peddling wagon and set him on the road to elevating jazz into a pulsating force for spontaneity and freedom. William James Basie, too, grew up in a world unfamiliar to white fans—the son of a coachman and laundress who dreamed of escaping every time the traveling carnival swept into town, and who finally engineered his getaway with help from Fats Waller. What is far less known about these groundbreakers is that they were bound not just by their music or even the discrimination that they, like nearly all Black performers of their day, routinely encountered. Each defied and ultimately overcame racial boundaries by opening America’s eyes and souls to the magnificence of their music. In the process they wrote the soundtrack for the civil rights movement. Based on more than 250 interviews, this exhaustively researched book brings alive the history of Black America in the early-to-mid 1900s through the singular lens of the country’s most gifted, engaging, and enduring African-American musicians.

Title: The Rulebreaker: The Life and Times of Barbara Walters Author: Susan Page Narrator: Susan Page Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 5 minutes Release date: April 23, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 6 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A “smart, juicy, deeply reported” (Katie Couric) biography of the most successful female broadcaster of all time—Barbara Walters—a woman whose personal demons fueled an ambition that broke all the rules and finally gave women a permanent place on the air, written by bestselling author Susan Page. Barbara Walters was a force from the time TV was exploding on the American scene in the 1960s to its waning dominance in a new world of competition from streaming services and social media half a century later. She was not just a groundbreaker for women (Oprah announced when she was seventeen that she wanted to be Barbara Walters), but also expanded the big TV interview and then dominated the genre. By the end of her career, she had interviewed more of the famous and infamous, from presidents to movie stars to criminals to despots, than any other journalist in history. Then at sixty-seven, past the age of many female broadcasters found themselves involuntarily retired, she pioneered a new form of talk TV called The View. She is on the short list of those who have left the biggest imprints on television news and on our culture, male or female. So, who was the woman behind the legacy? In The Rulebreaker, Susan Page conducts 150 interviews and extensive archival research to discover that Walters was driven to keep herself and her family afloat after her mercurial and famous impresario father attempted suicide. But she never lost the fear of an impending catastrophe, which is what led her to ask for things no woman had ever asked for before, to ignore the rules of misogynistic culture, to outcompete her most ferocious competitors, and to protect her complicated marriages and love life from scrutiny. Page breaks news on every front—from the daring things Walters did to become the woman who reinvented the TV interview to the secrets she kept until her heath. This is the “stunning” (Norah O’Donnell), “brilliantly written” (Andrea Mitchell) account of the woman who knew she had to break all the rules so she could break all the rules about what viewers deserved to know.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703287Tue, 23 Apr 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703287 to listen full audiobooks.

In The Rulebreaker, Susan Page conducts 150 interviews and extensive archival research to discover that Walters was driven to keep herself and her family afloat after her mercurial and famous impresario father attempted suicide. But she never lost the fear of an impending catastrophe, which is what led her to ask for things no woman had ever asked for before, to ignore the rules of misogynistic culture, to outcompete her most ferocious competitors, and to protect her complicated marriages and love life from scrutiny. Page breaks news on every front—from the daring things Walters did to become the woman who reinvented the TV interview to the secrets she kept until her heath. This is the “stunning” (Norah O’Donnell), “brilliantly written” (Andrea Mitchell) account of the woman who knew she had to break all the rules so she could break all the rules about what viewers deserved to know.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-fixer-moguls-mobsters-movie-stars-and-marilyn-by-josh-young-manfred-westphal--65312956https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703279 to listen full audiobooks.

Thrilled to use her high school French, Jane found her halting attempts greeted with withering condescension by every waiter and shopkeeper she encountered. At the end of the trip, she vowed she would never return. Yet a decade later she found herself back in Paris, transferred there by the American bank she worked for. She became fluent in the language and excelled in her new position. But she had a different dream: to start a cooking school for foreigners like her, who wanted to take a few classes in French cuisine in a friendly setting, then bring their new skills to their kitchens back home. Predictably, Jane faced the skeptical French—how dare an American banker start a cooking school in Paris?—as well as real-estate nightmares, and a long struggle to find and attract clients.

Country music had brought Alice Randall and her activist mother together and even gave Randall a singular distinction in American music history: she is the first Black woman to cowrite a number one country hit, Trisha Yearwood’s “XXX’s and OOO’s (An American Girl)”.

What emerges in My Black Country is “a delightful, inspirational story of persistence, resistance, and sheer love” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) of this most American of music genres and the radical joy in realizing the power of Black influence on American culture.

Title: Jelly Roll Blues: Censored Songs and Hidden Histories Author: Elijah Wald Narrator: Mela Lee Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 0 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A bestselling music historian follows Jelly Roll Morton on a journey through the hidden worlds and forbidden songs of early blues and jazz. In Jelly Roll Blues: Censored Songs and Hidden Histories, Elijah Wald takes readers on a journey into the hidden and censored world of early blues and jazz, guided by the legendary New Orleans pianist Jelly Roll Morton. Morton became nationally famous as a composer and bandleader in the 1920s, but got his start twenty years earlier, entertaining customers in the city’s famous bordellos and singing rough blues in Gulf Coast honky-tonks. He recorded an oral history of that time in 1938, but the most distinctive songs were hidden away for over fifty years, because the language and themes were as wild and raunchy as anything in gangsta rap.  Those songs inspired Wald to explore how much other history had been locked away and censored, and this book is the result of that quest. Full of previously unpublished lyrics and stories, it paints a new and surprising picture of the dawn of American popular music, when jazz and blues were still the private, after-hours music of the Black "sporting world." It gives new insight into familiar figures like Buddy Bolden and Louis Armstrong, and introduces forgotten characters like Ready Money, the New Orleans sex worker and pickpocket who ended up owning one of the largest Black hotels on the West Coast. Revelatory and fascinating, these songs and stories provide an alternate view of Black culture at the turn of the twentieth century, when a new generation was shaping lives their parents could not have imagined and art that transformed popular culture around the world—the birth of a joyous, angry, desperate, loving, and ferociously funny tradition that resurfaced in hip-hop and continues to inspire young artists in a new millennium.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703325Tue, 02 Apr 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703325 to listen full audiobooks.

The Blind Boys of Alabama are the quintessential Gospel vocal group, and the longest-running musical institution in America. Their story intersects with pivotal moments and issues in American history and is an ideal prism through which to trace music, culture, history, and race in America. Spirit of the Century invites readers to follow along the Blind Boys’ eight-decade journey together from a segregated trade school, through the rough and tumble indie record game and grinding tour schedule of the golden age of gospel, to starring in an iconic Broadway musical, performing at the White House for three presidents twice, collaborating with Tom Petty, Lou Reed, and Ben Harper, among others, singing the theme song for “The Wire,” and winning five Grammys.  More than just a story of the Blind Boys' illustrious career, Spirit of the Century also sheds new light on the larger world of African American gospel music, its origins, and the colorful characters at its center.  Though there have been several iterations of the group over the decades, Spirit of the Century rounds up all surviving members of the group as contributors to the telling of their own story, and a result, the book offers a unique and intimate perspective on the group's enduring success. Current drummer and road manager Rickie McKinney has been with the group throughout its renaissance, while guitarist Joey Williams, the group’s sighted member, has been the eyes of the Blind Boys since 1992. Octogenarian Jimmy Lee Carter has a fascinating history, as a fellow student of the original but deceased Blind Boys Clarence Fountain, George Scott, Olice Thomas, Johnny Fields, J.T. Hutton, and Velma Traylor at the Talladega school. Carter is one of a few performers who have been in both the Blind Boys of Alabama and Mississippi. He fronts the Alabama group today as a classic quartet leader and fiery preacher. Along with extensive interviews of Fountain, these legendary musicians provide this book with the voice, firsthand perspective, and authenticity that bring their story the same inspirational power that you hear in their songs. Thought-provoking, heartfelt, and deeply inspiring, Spirit of the Century is a fascinating and one-of-a-kind read that you won't be able to put down.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697434Tue, 19 Mar 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697434 to listen full audiobooks.

The film addressed the attacks of September 11, 2001, trading the jingoistic rhetoric of retributive military aggression for serious engagement with personal and collective trauma. It applied the horror genre's fascination with personal stories captured by found footage to the grand violence of history. Innovative and intense, Cloverfield represented blockbuster filmmaking at its best. Cloverfield's franchising followed the path of high-profile Hollywood properties. This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the franchise. Author Steffen Hantke examines how, in the broader context of postmillennial Hollywood, the Cloverfield franchise remains both a harbinger of the way Hollywood does business and a test case for the cinematic fantasies of apocalyptic disaster that continue to dominate global box office. As an inspiration for the next stage of blockbuster filmmaking, in which franchises have replaced the singular cinematic masterpiece and marketing plays to fans as critics and scholars, Cloverfield remains as relevant today as when it first unleashed its giant creature onto New York City over a decade ago.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719842Tue, 19 Mar 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719842 to listen full audiobooks.

The House of Hidden Meanings is a self-portrait of the legendary icon on the road to global fame and changing the way the world thinks about drag. Central to RuPaul’s success has been his chameleonic adaptability. From drag icon to powerhouse producer of one of the world’s largest television franchises, RuPaul’s ever-shifting nature has always been part of his brand as both supermodel and supermogul. Yet that adaptability has made him enigmatic to the public. In this memoir, his most intimate and detailed book yet, RuPaul makes himself truly known. In The House of Hidden Meanings, RuPaul strips away all artifice and recounts the story of his life with breathtaking clarity and tenderness, bringing his signature wisdom and wit to his own biography. From his early years growing up as a queer Black kid in San Diego navigating complex relationships with his absent father and temperamental mother, to forging an identity in the punk and drag scenes of Atlanta and New York, to finding enduring love with his husband Georges LeBar and self-acceptance in sobriety, RuPaul excavates his own biography life-story, uncovering new truths and insights in his personal history. Here in RuPaul’s singular and extraordinary story is a manual for living—a personal philosophy that testifies to the value of chosen family, the importance of harnessing what makes you different, and the transformational power of facing yourself fearlessly. A profound introspection of his life, relationships, and identity, The House of Hidden Meanings is a self-portrait of the legendary icon on the road to global fame and changing the way the world thinks about drag. “I've always loved to view the world with analytical eyes, examining what lies beneath the surface.

He’s worked with Armando Iannucci, Rob Brydon and supported Eddie Izzard on tour. He is also the father of Tom Holland (best known for starring in the blockbuster Spider-man movies) and made the brilliant 2017 Dominic Holland Eclipsed Edinburgh Fringe show out of the experience of being a superhero’s dad. The Small World of Dominic Holland will have you laughing out loud as the comedian points out the pitfalls of growing up, becoming an adult and having children. He shares his thoughts in a series of stand-up routines and sketches illustrating the minutiae of life - from what we do with our leisure time and how we shop, to exploring fear and pain and the perils of domesticity. Holland’s unique powers of observation make for hilariously addictive listening. In Holland’s Shorts Dominic shares the varied contents of his mind in a series of rapid-fire monologues. He uses a pay-and-display car park, ponders the mysteries of airport shopping, considers the Theory of Evolution, deliberates TV chefs, cereal manufacturers and teachers, discusses the perils of the kidney bean and ponders how to steal a cash machine. And wonders, perhaps most pressingly of all, is there really anything tastier than chicken? Enjoy these two series, available together as a download for the first time.

But when the famous femme fatale began dating mobster Johnny Stompanato, thug for the infamous West Coast mob boss Mickey Cohen, her personal life became violent and unpredictable. Lana’s teenage daughter, Cheryl, watched her beloved mother’s life deteriorate as Stompanato’s intense jealousy took over. Eventually, the physical and emotional abuse became too much to bear, and Lana attempted to break it off with Johnny—with disastrous consequences. The details of what happened that fateful night remain foggy, but it ended in a series of frantic phone calls and Stompanato dead on Lana’s bedroom floor, with Cheryl claiming to have plunged a knife into his abdomen in an attempt to protect her mother. The subsequent investigation made for the biggest headlines of the year, its drama eclipsing every Hollywood movie.New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman pulls back Tinseltown’s velvet curtain to reveal the dark underbelly of celebrity, rife with toxic masculinity and casual violence against women, and tells the story of Lana Turner and her daughter, who finally stood up to the abuse that plagued their family for years. A Murder in Hollywood transports us back to the golden age of film and illuminates one of the twentieth century’s most notorious true crime tales.“A must-read for fans of true crime and Hollywood history, A Murder in Hollywood never disappoints!

But when the famous femme fatale began dating mobster Johnny Stompanato, thug for the infamous West Coast mob boss Mickey Cohen, her personal life became violent and unpredictable. Lana’s teenage daughter, Cheryl, watched her beloved mother’s life deteriorate as Stompanato’s intense jealousy took over. Eventually, the physical and emotional abuse became too much to bear, and Lana attempted to break it off with Johnny—with disastrous consequences. The details of what happened that fateful night remain foggy, but it ended in a series of frantic phone calls and Stompanato dead on Lana’s bedroom floor, with Cheryl claiming to have plunged a knife into his abdomen in an attempt to protect her mother. The subsequent investigation made for the biggest headlines of the year, its drama eclipsing every Hollywood movie.New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman pulls back Tinseltown’s velvet curtain to reveal the dark underbelly of celebrity, rife with toxic masculinity and casual violence against women, and tells the story of Lana Turner and her daughter, who finally stood up to the abuse that plagued their family for years.

Title: Mitch Benn’s Crimes Against Music: The Complete Series 1-3: A BBC Radio Comedy Series Author: Mitch Benn, Robin Ince Narrator: Mitch Benn, Robin Ince, Various Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 33 minutes Release date: February 1, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Music, mayhem and madness from Mitch Benn and Robin Ince There can be only one parody musical master, and Mitch Benn thinks it’s him. Although Richard Stilgoe may have something to say about that… Laugh out loud as Mitch sets out on a musical journey through the showbiz glitz and backstage litter of pop music. Teaming up with Mitch is comedian Robin Ince, and between them they delve into the world of super fans, the glamorous trappings and excesses of pop-star life and its highs and lows. Along with special guest presenters, they wonder if you really can manufacture greatness, why pop stars need fans, and the art of self-promotion. Can death revive a rock star's career? How many people does it take to make something a music 'scene'? And is heavy metal getting soft? Mitch’s music-master credentials are tested in every episode as he performs a newly written song, hoping to prove he is indeed the world’s greatest musical satirist. Robin Ince’s trademark cynicism and occasional appearances as Satan make this a fast-paced, hilarious show full of musical mastery, mayhem and laughs. When, in search of global superstardom, the duo try and take their show on a world tour, things only get funnier. Mitch Benn has been a regular voice on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show and has toured extensively as a comedian in the UK and internationally. Co-writer Robin Ince is a comedian and radio presenter, perhaps best known for his comedy science radio show The Infinite Monkey Cage, which he presents with Professor Brian Cox. If you’re a fan of Alex Horne Presents The Horne Section or Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better, you’ll love this anarchic mix of music and comedy.

Title: It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life of Love and War Author: Lynsey Addario Narrator: Lynsey Addario Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 0 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: 'A brutally real and unrelentingly raw memoir.'--Kirkus (starred review) War photographer Lynsey Addario’s memoir It’s What I Do is the story of how the relentless pursuit of truth, in virtually every major theater of war in the twenty-first century, has shaped her life. What she does, with clarity, beauty, and candor, is to document, often in their most extreme moments, the complex lives of others. It’s her work, but it’s much more than that: it’s her singular calling. Lynsey Addario was just finding her way as a young photographer when September 11 changed the world. One of the few photojournalists with experience in Afghanistan, she gets the call to return and cover the American invasion. She makes a decision she would often find herself making—not to stay home, not to lead a quiet or predictable life, but to set out across the world, face the chaos of crisis, and make a name for herself. Addario finds a way to travel with a purpose. She photographs the Afghan people before and after the Taliban reign, the civilian casualties and misunderstood insurgents of the Iraq War, as well as the burned villages and countless dead in Darfur. She exposes a culture of violence against women in the Congo and tells the riveting story of her headline-making kidnapping by pro-Qaddafi forces in the Libyan civil war. Addario takes bravery for granted but she is not fearless. She uses her fear and it creates empathy; it is that feeling, that empathy, that is essential to her work. We see this clearly on display as she interviews rape victims in the Congo, or photographs a fallen soldier with whom she had been embedded in Iraq, or documents the tragic lives of starving Somali children. Lynsey takes us there and we begin to understand how getting to the hard truth trumps fear. As a woman photojournalist determined to be taken as seriously as her male peers, Addario fights her way into a boys’ club of a profession. Rather than choose between her personal life and her career, Addario learns to strike a necessary balance. In the man who will become her husband, she finds at last a real love to complement her work, not take away from it, and as a new mother, she gains an all the more intensely personal understanding of the fragility of life. Watching uprisings unfold and people fight to the death for their freedom, Addario understands she is documenting not only news but also the fate of society. It’s What I Do is more than just a snapshot of life on the front lines; it is witness to the human cost of war.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703165Tue, 30 Jan 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/703165 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Ferocious Ambition: Joan Crawford’s March to Stardom Author: Robert Dance Narrator: Greg D. Barnett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 30, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Joan Crawford's remarkable forty-five-year motion picture career is one of the industry's longest. Signing her first contract in 1925, she was crowned an MGM star four years later and by the mid-1930s was the most popular actress in America. In the early 1940s, Crawford's risky decision to move to Warner Bros. was rewarded with an Oscar for Mildred Pierce. This triumph launched a series of film noir classics. She teamed with rival Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, proving that Crawford, whose career had begun by defining big-screen glamour, had matured into a superb dramatic actress. Her last film was released in 1970, and two years later she made a final television appearance, forty-seven years after walking through the MGM gate for the first time. Crawford made a successful transition into business during her later years, notably in her association with Pepsi-Cola. Overlooked in previous biographies has been Crawford's fierce resolve in creating and then maintaining her star persona. She let neither her age nor the passing of time block her unrivaled ambition, and she continually reimagined herself, noting once that, for the right part, she would play Wally Beery's grandmother. But she was always the consummate star, and at the time of her death in 1977, she was a motion picture legend and a twentieth-century icon.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720276Tue, 30 Jan 2024 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/720276 to listen full audiobooks.

The first reception-based analysis of film acting, Imagining the Method investigates how popular understandings of the so-called Method—what its author Justin Rawlins calls 'methodness'—created an exclusive brand for white, male actors while associating such actors with rebellion and marginalization. Drawing on extensive archival research, the book maps the forces giving shape to methodness and policing its boundaries.

It dissects contemporary emphases on transformation and considers the implications of methodness in the encoding of AI performers.

Historian Judith Tick offers a sublime portrait of this ambitious risk-taker whose exceptional musical spontaneity made her a transformational artist. Becoming Ella Fitzgerald clears up long-enduring mysteries. Archival research and in-depth family interviews shed new light on the singer's difficult childhood, the tragic death of her mother, and the year she spent in a girls' reformatory school—where she sang in its renowned choir and dreamed of being a dancer. Rarely seen profiles from the Black press offer precious glimpses of Fitzgerald's tense experiences of racial discrimination and her struggles with constricting models of Black and white femininity. Breaking ground as a female bandleader, Fitzgerald refuted expectations of musical Blackness, deftly balancing artistic ambition and market expectations. Her legendary exploration of the Great American Songbook in the 1950s fused a Black vocal aesthetic and jazz improvisation to revolutionize the popular repertoire. This hybridity often confounded critics, yet Ella reached audiences around the world, electrifying concert halls, and sold millions of records.

How Coppola Became Cage takes listeners behind the scenes of the beloved cult movies that transformed this unknown actor into an eccentric and uncompromising screen icon with a wild-eyed gift for portraying weirdos, outsiders, criminals-and even a romantic capable of seducing Cher. Author Zach Schonfeld traces Cage's rise through the world of independent cinema and chronicles the stories behind his career-making early performances. Drawing on more than 100 new interviews with Cage's key collaborators, How Coppola Became Cage offers a revealing portrait of Cage's wildly intense devotion to his performances behind the scenes and his creative self-discovery as he drew on influences as far-flung as silent cinema and German Expressionism. Brimming with previously untold stories and insights, How Coppola Became Cage both revels in and demystifies Cage's onscreen eccentricities. No other modern actor has explored such profound creative extremes while bending the boundaries of good taste. Here is the origin story of an actor who truly is wild at heart and weird on top.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716021Tue, 26 Dec 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716021 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: To the One I Love the Best Author: Ludwig Bemelmans Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A witty and charming account of the wildly entertaining Elsie de Wolfe in 1950s Hollywood, recounted by her dear friend, the beloved creator of Madeline. Ludwig Bemelmans's charming intergenerational friendship with the late-in-life 'First Lady of Interior Decoration' provides an enormously enjoyable nostalgia trip to the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles, where de Wolfe surrounded herself with classic movie stars and a luminous parade of life's oddities. With hilarity and mischief that de Wolfe would no doubt approve, To the One I Love the Best lifts the curtain on 1950s Hollywood—a bygone world of extravagance and eccentricity, where the parties are held in circus tents and populated by movie stars. Bemelmans, who was working at MGM, had originally come to the California home of de Wolfe just for cocktails, but by the end of the night, he was firmly established as a member of the family: given a bedroom in their sumptuous house, invitations to the most outrageous parties in Hollywood, and the friendship of the larger-than-life woman known to her closest friends simply as 'Mother.' To the One I Love the Best is a touching tribute to a fabulously funny woman and an American icon.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714350Tue, 26 Dec 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714350 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Fortune and Folly: The Weird and Wonderful Life of the South's Most Eccentric Millionaire Author: Sara A. H. Butler Narrator: Tiffany Morgan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: December 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Briarcliff Mansion and the land it occupies are owned by Emory University, which refers to it as its 'Briarcliff Campus.' Fortune and Folly, in part, illuminates the largely lost story of how the mansion, and the entire surrounding neighborhood, got its name. But in order to understand the mansion, we have to understand the man who built it. Briarcliff Mansion once belonged to a man named Asa Candler, Jr.—also known as Buddie. The second son and namesake of Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler, Buddie was a wealthy real estate developer of great successes and greater failures. A man of big vision and bigger adventures, and a socialite whose boisterous, unapologetic personality made him both beloved and reviled in the Atlanta community. But after he passed away in 1953, his stories faded from memory, either tangled up with or overshadowed by his father. It's no mystery why Briarcliff garners attention. It's self-consciously grandiose, built to display maximum grandeur to the neighborhood. It towers over the landscape, set far back from the road behind a filled-in, overgrown pool. Its face is stitched together where a music hall was added two years after the main house was completed, and the bricks don't quite match up. This book offers a deep-dive into the life of Asa Candler, Jr. to excavate a piece—and place—of Atlanta history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719854Tue, 26 Dec 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719854 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: Vol. 1: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island Author: Gisèle Gordon, Kent Monkman Narrator: Gail Maurice Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 25 minutes Release date: December 5, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From global art superstar Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisèle Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers’ understanding of the land called North America. For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character—an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew. The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island is a genre-demolishing work of genius, the imagined history of a legendary figure through which profound truths emerge—a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, its present, and its possibilities. Volume One, which covers the period from the creation of the universe to the confederation of Canada, follows Miss Chief as she moves through time, from a complex lived experience of Cree cosmology to the arrival of European settlers, many of whom will be familiar to students of history. An open-hearted being, she tries to live among those settlers, and guide them to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the world itself. As their numbers grow, though, so does conflict, and Miss Chief begins to understand that the challenges posed by the hordes of newly arrived Europeans will mean ever greater danger for her, her people, and, by extension, all of the world she cherishes. Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead.   This audiobook features two versions of the The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island, Volume One. The memoirs are read by Gail Maurice, Cree/Michif translator, actor, writer, filmmaker, director, and one of the inspirations for Miss Chief Eagle, with the introduction read by the authors. The first version is read as the abridged standalone memoirs, excluding endnotes. It is immediately followed by the second version which includes the full unabridged book, including endnotes inserted in situ, read by co-author Gisèle Gordon. This audiobook comes with a supplemental PDF which includes images of the paintings included in the physical book, as well as a note on the use of Cree in the text, and a Cree glossary.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712970Tue, 05 Dec 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712970 to listen full audiobooks.

The celebrated painter Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) occupied a central place in the artistic scene of his time: a founding member of the new school of French painting, he was a close friend of Monet, a longtime associate in Degas's and Mary Cassatt's experimental work, a support to Cézanne and Gauguin, and a comfort to Van Gogh, and was backed by the great Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel throughout his career. Nevertheless, he felt a persistent sense of being set apart, different, and hard to classify. Settled in France from the age of twenty-five but born in the Caribbean, he was not French and what is more he was Jewish. Although a resolute atheist who never interjected political or religious messages in his art, he was fully aware of the consequences of his lineage.

My imaginative narrative gives me relief from prevaility and strident ideologies by allowing me the heresy of decadence (as in erotica). Namely, revenge against normality, reversal of normality and regression from normality. My imaginative narrative is relief from prevailing self by allowing the potential self, the discarded self, the rejected self and the non-self to have play. My imaginative narrative is relief from privacy by allowing exposure of self and the network of self.' ~ Frank Moorhouse, 1985, private telex Frank Moorhouse was legendary in Australian literary and cultural life, the author of a huge and diverse body of work - essays, short stories, journalism, scripts, the iconic Edith Trilogy - an unapologetic activist, intellectual, libertarian and champion of freedom of speech and sexual self determination. Though he lived his life publicly, his private stories have not been shared, the many paths he forged left unexamined, until now. Matthew Lamb shared many a luncheon table with Moorhouse and immersed himself in the archived life and cultural ephemera of Frank's world. This landmark study, from Moorhouse's own publisher, the first in a projected two volumes, is the fascinating and comprehensive story of how one of Australia's most original writers and pioneer of the discontinuous narrative came to be. Fearless, sardonic and utterly dedicated to his creative life, his relationships with friends, other writers and lovers were complex and long-lasting.

Title: Still Laughing: A Life in Comedy (From the Creator of Laugh-In) Author: George Schlatter Narrator: P.J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 53 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1967, producer George Schlatter pitched an idea for a quirky new television show: one inspired by the hippie counterculture, which would take the idea of sit-ins, love-ins, and be-ins, and manifest that politicized, sexualized, consciousness-raising energy into pure comedy. Much to the surprise of NBC executives, Laugh-In soon became the #1 show on American TV, and the careers of beloved stars like Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn were born. Still Laughing features never-before-told stories from the creation of one of the most groundbreaking shows in television history. It also recounts the coming-of-age of one of Hollywood's most iconic producers, from his early nightclub days rubbing elbows with mob figures like Mickey Cohen and John Stompanato, to his influential friendships with Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, for whom George was asked to deliver a eulogy at his funeral decades later. An inside look at Hollywood in the wake of the cultural upheaval of the '60s and '70s, Still Laughing demonstrates the crucial, deeply creative role a working producer plays in bringing a show (and its stars) to life. With spit-fire humor, tireless wit, and keen perception, Still Laughing tells of the rise of some of comedy's greatest talents, and reveals the actual people cloistered inside larger-than-life celebrity.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710756Tue, 28 Nov 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710756 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: Vol. 2: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island Author: Gisèle Gordon, Kent Monkman Narrator: Gail Maurice Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 43 minutes Release date: November 28, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: From global art superstar Kent Monkman and his long-time collaborator Gisèle Gordon, a transformational work of true stories and imagined history that will remake readers’ understanding of the land called North America. For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character—an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew. The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island is a genre-demolishing work of genius, the imagined history of a legendary figure through which profound truths emerge—a deeply Cree and gloriously queer understanding of our shared world, its past, its present, and its possibilities. Volume One, which covers the period from the creation of the universe to the confederation of Canada, follows Miss Chief as she moves through time, from a complex lived experience of Cree cosmology to the arrival of European settlers, many of whom will be familiar to students of history. An open-hearted being, she tries to live among those settlers, and guide them to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all beings and the world itself. As their numbers grow, though, so does conflict, and Miss Chief begins to understand that the challenges posed by the hordes of newly arrived Europeans will mean ever greater danger for her, her people, and, by extension, all of the world she cherishes. Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead.   This audiobook features two versions of the The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle: A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island, Volume Two. The memoirs are read by Gail Maurice, Cree/Michif translator, actor, writer, filmmaker, director, and one of the inspirations for Miss Chief Eagle, with the introduction read by the authors. The first version is read as the abridged standalone memoirs, excluding endnotes. It is immediately followed by the second version which includes the full unabridged book, including endnotes inserted in situ, read by co-author Gisèle Gordon. This audiobook comes with a supplemental PDF which includes images of the paintings included in the physical book, as well as a note on the use of Cree in the text, and a Cree glossary.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712969Tue, 28 Nov 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/712969 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: I'm Liz Hayes Author: Liz Hayes Narrator: Liz Hayes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 13 minutes Release date: November 22, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Liz Hayes has graced our television screens for more than four decades. Millions of Australians kicked off their weeks with Liz co-hosting Channel 9's Today show, and now for over 25 years have settled into their Sunday nights to watch her investigative journalism on 60 Minutes. From camping in grizzly bear territory to sipping tea with an Afghani warlord in an active warzone, Liz has almost seen it all. She has shared the stories of celebrities and movie stars, leaders and politicians, heroes and villains across the globe, but - after a lifetime of reporting on others - when tragedy struck her own family, Liz discovered that sometimes the hardest story to tell is your own. Compelling and elegantly written, Liz's long-awaited memoir takes us behind the cameras and back to when Beth Ryan, the dairy farmer's daughter, became seasoned journalist Liz Hayes, and how life in the country gave way to 'controlled' crash-landings on US aircraft carriers. Synonymous with her iconic 60 Minutes television introduction, I'm Liz Hayes, is a warm and authentic memoir about what's possible, and what it can cost you, when you choose a life of adventure.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716078Wed, 22 Nov 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/716078 to listen full audiobooks.

But you don't really know Oscar Hammerstein II, the man who, more than anyone else, invented the American musical. Among the most commercially successful artists of his time, he was a fighter for social justice who constantly prodded his audiences to be better than they were. Diving deep into Hammerstein's life, examining his papers and his lyrics, critic Laurie Winer shows how he orchestrated a collective reimagining of America, urging it forward with a subtly progressive vision of the relationship between country and city, rich and poor, America and the rest of the world. His rejection of bitterness, his openness to strangers, and his optimistic humor shaped not only the musical but the American dream itself.

Cortázar fue, entre tantas cosas, el autor de 'Rayuela', una novela que marcó a fuego a la juventud latinoamericana y española a principios de los ´60 y ha sido traducida a más de treinta idiomas. Su prosa inconfundible estaba empapada del amor por el jazz –que inmortalizó en cuentos como 'El perseguidor'–. Ya en su madurez asumió un compromiso político sorprendente para quienes lo habían conocido antes. Cultivó amistades con figuras tan dispares como Gabriel García Márquez, Alejandra Pizarnik, Ernesto Cardenal y Mario Vargas Llosa.

Title: A Disturbance in the Force: How and Why the Star Wars Holiday Special Happened Author: Steve Kozak Narrator: Kirby Heyborne Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 15 minutes Release date: November 15, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Even by the standards of the 1970s, even compared to Jar-Jar Binks, the legendary 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is a peerlessly cringeworthy pop-culture artifact. George Lucas, who completely disowned the production, reportedly has said, 'If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it.' Just how on earth did this thing ever see the light of day? To answer that question, as Steven Kozak shows in this fascinating and often hilarious inside look into the making of the Special, you have to understand the cultural moment in which it appeared—a long, long time ago when cheesy variety shows were a staple of network television and Star Wars was not yet the billion-dollar multimedia behemoth that it is today. Kozak explains how the Special was one piece of a PR blitz undertaken by Lucas and his colleagues as they sought to protect the emerging franchise from hostile studio executives. He shows how, despite the involvement of some of the most talented people in the business, creative differences between movie and television writers led to a wildly uneven product. Packed with memorable anecdotes, drawing on new interviews with countless people involved in the production, and told with mingled affection and bewilderment, this never-before-told story gives a fascinating look at a strange moment in pop-culture history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710760Wed, 15 Nov 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710760 to listen full audiobooks.

In 1968, Nick Drake had everything to live for. The product of a loving, creative family and a privileged background, he was not only a handsome and popular Cambridge undergraduate, but also a new signing to the UK’s hippest record label, Island.   Three years later, however—having made three well reviewed but low-selling albums—Nick had been overwhelmed by a mysterious mental illness. He returned to live in his family home in rural Warwickshire in 1971, and died in obscurity in 1974, aged just 26.   In the decades since, Nick has become the subject of ever-growing fascination and speculation. Combined sales of his records now stand in the millions, his songs are frequently heard on TV and in films, and he has become one of the most widely known and admired singer-songwriters of his generation.   Nick Drake: The Life is the only biography of Nick to be written with the blessing and involvement of his sister and estate.

Drawing on copious original research and new interviews with his family, friends, and musical collaborators, as well as deeply personal archive material unavailable to previous writers—including his father’s diaries, his essays, and private correspondence—this is the most comprehensive and authoritative account possible of Nick’s short and enigmatic life.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/no-one-to-meet-imitation-and-originality-in-the-songs-of-bob-dylan-by-raphael-falco--65312940https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710699 to listen full audiobooks. Title: No One to Meet: Imitation and Originality in the Songs of Bob Dylan Author: Raphael Falco Narrator: Paul Bellantoni Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 44 minutes Release date: November 14, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed overnight when Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, challenging us to think of him as an integral part of our national and international literary heritage. No One to Meet places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition. In lucid prose, Raphael Falco demonstrates the similarity between what Renaissance writers called imitatio and the way Dylan borrows, digests, and transforms traditional songs. Although Dylan's lyrical postures might suggest a post-Romantic, 'avant-garde' consciousness, No One to Meet shows that Dylan's creative process borrows from and expands the methods used by classical and Renaissance authors. Drawing on numerous examples, including Dylan's previously unseen manuscript excerpts and archival materials, Falco illuminates how the ancient process of poetic imitation, handed down from Greco-Roman antiquity, allows us to make sense of Dylan's musical and lyrical technique. By placing Dylan firmly in the context of an age-old poetic practice, No One to Meet deepens our appreciation of Dylan's songs and allows us to celebrate him as what he truly is: a great writer.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710699Tue, 14 Nov 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710699 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: When Harry Met Pablo: Truman, Picasso, and the Cold War Politics of Modern Art Author: Matthew Algeo Narrator: Pat Grimes Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 49 minutes Release date: November 14, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Harry Truman and Pablo Picasso were contemporaries and were both shaped by and shapers of the great events of the twentieth century—the man who painted Guernica and the man who authorized the use of atomic bombs against civilians. But in most ways, they couldn’t have been more different. Picasso was a communist, and probably the only thing Truman hated more than communists was modern art. Picasso was an indifferent father, a womanizer, and a millionaire. Truman was utterly devoted to his family and, despite his fame, far from a rich man. How did they come to be shaking hands in front of Picasso’s studio in the south of France? Truman’s meeting with Picasso was quietly arranged by Alfred H. Barr Jr., the founding director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and an early champion of Picasso. Barr knew that if he could convince these two ideological antipodes, the straight-talking politician from Missouri and the Cubist painter from Málaga, to simply shake hands, it would send a powerful message, not just to reactionary Republicans pushing McCarthyism at home but to the whole world: modern art was not evil. A rigorous history with a heartwarming center, When Harry Met Pablo intertwines the biographies of Truman and Picasso, the history of modern art, and twentieth-century American politics, but at its core, it is the touching story of two old men who meet for the first time and realize they have more in common—and are more alike—than they ever imagined.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710841Tue, 14 Nov 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/710841 to listen full audiobooks.

Written in her own words, this candid account takes an intimate, behind the scenes look at the reality of a life lived on social media and under the scrutiny of the public eye ‘It was the biggest thing that had ever happened to me, and like nothing I’d ever experienced… Looking back on it now, it still amazes me how inflated it all got, how ridiculous, how serious. That’s why I need to tell what happened in full…’ Coleen Rooney has always been true to herself. In My Account, she tells us how her upbringing prepared her for a life in the full glare of public and media scrutiny. In fact, from an early age, she was no stranger to responsibility, having two younger brothers as well as welcoming disabled foster sister Rosie into the family. At just seventeen, she and boyfriend Wayne left their childhood homes to live together and in time they had their own young family to care for. But being married to one of the world’s most successful sportsmen has also meant that any private difficulties they faced were inevitably exposed very publicly. And that is no more true than in the now infamous tale of how a casual acquaintance of Coleen’s ended in an extraordinary deception. Here, she recounts how she first suspected someone was betraying her trust (and how devastated it left her), and then the meticulous steps she took to identify, trap and finally reveal to the world her suspect. With the consequences playing out around the world and Coleen dragged unwillingly into a devastating court case whose outcome was far from certain, only now can she candidly give us her side of the story.

Hay facetas de la vida de Chaplin que son conocidas pero todavía dejan mucha tela para cortar: sus orígenes en Londres entre músicos pobres, con una doble herencia judía y gitana; la persecución a la que fue sometido por el macartismo en Estados Unidos, a causa de sus ideas progresistas, y que lo llevó a exiliarse; sus controversiales relaciones con mujeres mucho más jóvenes que él; sus visiones sobre el arte de masas del siglo XX al cual tanto contribuyó. - -]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/spanish-biografias-breves-axl-rose-by-luis-machado--65312861https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/718512 to listen full audiobooks.

Canciones como 'Welcome to the jungle', 'Sweet child O´mine', y 'November rain' se impregnaron en la memoria colectiva al punto que siguen siendo fuertemente escuchadas y reversionadas en la era de YouTube. La voz icónica de Rose sigue asombrando a quien se acerque a su banda por primera vez, así como su despliegue en los escenarios cautivaba a millones de fanáticos durante una época en la que la importancia de los recitales era todavía mucho mayor. Entre su infancia tan dura en medio un ambiente religioso rígido, abusivo y un presente que lo encuentra prácticamente retirado, Axl Rose se abrió al mundo durante un período breve, pero lleno de polémicas en torno de su personalidad conflictiva y sobre todo de creatividad artística.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Frida Kahlo Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 32 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: El icono más mexicano y pop en la actualidad sigue llamándose Frida Kahlo. Esta extraordinaria pintora mexicana tuvo que enfrentar desde muy joven los estragos físicos que le causó un accidente de autobús. Su discapacidad la postró en una cama durante mucho tiempo y tuvo que convivir con el dolor y el sufrimiento la mayor parte de su vida. No obstante, las dificultades no le impidieron sumarse al ambiente político, artístico e intelectual de Ciudad de México, donde conoció al que sería el mayor defensor de su obra y futuro marido, Diego Rivera. Frida recurrió a una pintura intimista, compuesta casi por entero de autorretratos donde expresaba su dolor y sus anhelos. Algunos como André Bretón la calificaron de surrealista, pero ella siempre defendió que sus obras no surgían de un mundo onírico, sino que reflejaban su propia realidad.

Nadie conoce al hombre. Cristóbal Balenciaga no se dejaba ver en sus desfiles ni salía jamás a saludar tras finalizarlos. Si hacemos caso a la leyenda, el diseñador vasco seguía con detalle los pases a través de un discreto agujero practicado en las cortinas de terciopelo que decoraban su maison.

Title: Necessary Death: What Horror Movies Teach Us About Navigating the Human Experience Author: Chris Grosso, Preston Fassel Narrator: Joe Hempel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 37 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Based on very real and practical commentary, life experience, and occasionally, tongue-in-cheek-misfortunes of horror legends, Necessary Death explores how the horror genre offers individuals a unique opportunity for insight and understanding of their own lives. Using some of the most quintessential movies in the genre, Chris Grosso and Preston Fassel invite listeners to an in-depth examination of the human condition—its fears, anxieties, hopes, joys, sorrows, and everything in-between—and how it's all grist for our personal and collective evolutionary mill. A hallmark of the genre is how horror films force their characters to find some semblance of inner strength and wherewithal in order to stand up to the monster, ghost, or villain that is trying to take their lives. Through fascinating discussion of this and other elements, Fassel and Grosso relate these films' dark subject matter and characters to real world issues people face every day. This sharp analysis is complemented by exercises that prompt listeners to consider gratitude, forgiveness, determination, and bravery in the face of adversity.

No one involved could have known that the predicted crowd of twenty thousand would prove to be nearly five times that size. The show, now known as 'Panic in the Streets,' went on to become a cult favorite of fans and a decisive moment in Athens music history. This event holds the record for the world's largest record release party, but the story of how the it came to be has not been told until now. Widespread Panic in the Streets of Athens, Georgia places listeners at the historic event, using in-depth investigation and interviews with the band, city officials, and 'Spread Heads' who were there. Music journalist Gordon Lamb's narrative takes the listener from conception to aftermath and uncovers the local controversies and efforts that nearly stopped the show from happening altogether. This deeply researched and richly sourced book follows every stage of the concert's development from the spark of an idea to approximately one hundred thousand people packing the streets of a legendary music town. Taking us back to 1990s Athens through vibrant, on-the-scene writing, Lamb gives us the story of a band on the verge of greatness and a town reckoning with its significant place in music history.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714405Tue, 31 Oct 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/714405 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Marilyn Monroe Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 24 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Marilyn Monroe era una actriz en ascenso que murió joven. Y fue el símbolo de la sensualidad para buena parte del mundo, pasando la mitad del siglo XX. Había saltado a la fama por su carisma y sus expresiones fotogénicas. Sin embargo, el sueño de Marilyn era consagrarse en la actuación. Participó en varias películas y dedicó mucho esfuerzo a perfeccionarse. Se le recuerdan varios romances icónicos: con el beisbolista Joe DiMaggio, con el escritor Arthur Miller y sobre todo con el presidente estadounidense John F. Kennedy.

Y fue el símbolo de la sensualidad para buena parte del mundo, pasando la mitad del siglo XX. Había saltado a la fama por su carisma y sus expresiones fotogénicas. Sin embargo, el sueño de Marilyn era consagrarse en la actuación. Participó en varias películas y dedicó mucho esfuerzo a perfeccionarse. Se le recuerdan varios romances icónicos: con el beisbolista Joe DiMaggio, con el escritor Arthur Miller y sobre todo con el presidente estadounidense John F. Kennedy. Las extrañas circunstancias de su muerte, producto de una sobredosis de barbitúricos, dieron pie a muchas teorías sobre lo que pudo haber sucedido. En Marilyn convivían la apariencia de una gran alegría de vivir y varias tristezas profundas. Tal vez por eso todavía nos intriga tanto la mujer que redefinió el 'sex appeal'. - -]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/behind-the-shoulder-pads-tales-i-tell-my-friends-by-joan-collins--65312819https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/719823 to listen full audiobooks.

Elegido como mejor libro del año 2023 por ELLE, The Washington Post, Vulture, NPR, The New Statesmen y The New Yorker, entre otros. «En sus memorias, Britney Spears se muestra más fuerte que nunca…» New York Times La mujer que soy es una historia valiente y asombrosamente conmovedora sobre la libertad, la fama, la maternidad, la supervivencia, la fe y la esperanza. En junio de 2021, el mundo entero escuchó hablar a Britney Spears en una audiencia pública. El impacto que causó al compartir su voz, su verdad, fue innegable, y cambió el rumbo de su vida y el de la de infinidad de personas. La mujer que soy revela por primera vez la increíble peripecia vital y la fuerza interior de una de las mejores artistas de la historia de la música pop. Escritas con una franqueza y un humor extraordinarios, las impactantes memorias de Spears ilustran el poder imperecedero de la música y el amor, y la importancia de que una mujer, por fin, cuente su propia historia, en sus propios términos. La crítica ha dicho: «Emotivo». Time «Impactante». Independent «Un milagro». Guardian «Conmovedor». Vogue «Britney Spears no esconde nada en estas memorias cortas, agridulces y extremadamente poderosas». Telegraph «En sus memorias, Britney Spears se muestra más fuerte que nunca… La mujer que soy presenta su historia de una forma tan limpia, tan cándida, que parece diseñado para leerse en una sentada. Es casi imposible salir de esta historia sin empatizar con Spears y sentir una rabia inmensa en su nombre. El resentimiento que dirige hacia las terribles circunstancias que ha sufrido a lo largo de más de una década se atenúa gracias a su constante e insistente optimismo». New York Times «Las explosivas confesiones de esta biografía han dado mucho que hablar… No obstante, mucho más interesantes son las sutiles confesiones que nos ofrece sobre sí misma… Spears siempre ha sido graciosa e inequívocamente auténtica, incluso cuando recuerda lo mal que la han tratado la mayoría de los hombres de su vida… [En estas memorias] puedes sentir cómo Spears recupera el poder que le arrebataron paso a paso.

Su nombre evoca pasión, originalidad, genioy, también, una obra valorada en precios exorbitantes.

Vincent, girasoles contra el mundo es una obra doble de Mario Iván Martínez, pues reúne, en un mismo volumen, una biografía del pintor neerlandés y el texto de una obra de teatro que recrea los últimos años de su vida, su relación con su prima Kee, con Sien y con Gauguin, y su muerte. Por su parte, la biografía va revelando la personalidad de Van Gogh a través de su relación con sus padres, de sus descalabros vocacionales (primero como pastor y luego como mercader de arte), de sus fracasos amorosos,de su relación con Theo y con otros artistas.

His songs tell tales of the Civil War, harken back to 1930s labor struggles, and address racial violence at the height of the civil rights movement, helping listeners to think about history, and history making, in new ways. While Dylan was warned by his early mentor, Dave Van Ronk, that, 'You’re just going to be a history book writer if you do those things. An anachronism,' the musician has continued to traffic in history and engage with a range of source material—ancient and modern—over the course of his career. In this beautifully crafted book, Freddy Cristóbal Domínguez makes a provocative case for Dylan as a historian, offering a deep consideration of the musician's historical influences and practices. Utilizing interviews, speeches, and the close analysis of lyrics and live performances, Bob Dylan in the Attic is the first book to consider Dylan's work from the point of view of historiography.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/705789Tue, 24 Oct 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/705789 to listen full audiobooks.

Syd Barrett, las giras, los discos, El lado oscuro de la luna, The Wall, David Gilmour, la militancia política y las peleas y polémicas de una carrera única que lo encuentra vital como siempre y tocando por todo el mundo a los 80. La historia de Pink Floyd y la de Roger Waters son inseparables. Como solista, Waters demostró su poderío cuando recorrió el planeta montado en el espectáculo The Wall, donde volvió a construir ese muro monstruoso que separa a la gente y lo derribó noche tras noche. En la Argentina, colmó nueve veces el monumental estadio de River, generando un fenómeno sin precedentes. Acentuaría su tono político en la gira posterior, Us + Them. Se radicalizaría aún más con la gira siguiente, más parecida a una campaña política que a un recital de rock. Ha cumplido 80 años y está dispuesto a seguir luchando por sus ideales. ¿Hasta qué punto? Se lo ha acusado de nazi, de antisemita, de cómplice de dictadores, de izquierdista sin remedio, pero la mente de Roger Waters es un laberinto complejo y no siempre lineal. La pérdida de su padre en la Segunda Guerra Mundial lo traumó de por vida. Fundó Pink Floyd junto a Syd Barrett, Nick Mason y Rick Wright como una banda psicodélica en los 60.

Title: Hotel Splendide Author: Ludwig Bemelmans Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Acerbic, colorful, and spirited stories from a bygone era: behind the scenes in a grand New York hotel, from the author of the Madeline books Picture David Sedaris writing Kitchen Confidential about the Ritz in New York in the 1920s, which had the style and charm of The Grand Budapest Hotel . . . In this charming and uproariously funny hotel memoir, Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide—the thinly disguised stand-in for the Ritz—a luxury New York hotel where he worked as a waiter in the 1920s.

Title: Hotel Splendide Author: Ludwig Bemelmans Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Acerbic, colorful, and spirited stories from a bygone era: behind the scenes in a grand New York hotel, from the author of the Madeline books Picture David Sedaris writing Kitchen Confidential about the Ritz in New York in the 1920s, which had the style and charm of The Grand Budapest Hotel . . . In this charming and uproariously funny hotel memoir, Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide—the thinly disguised stand-in for the Ritz—a luxury New York hotel where he worked as a waiter in the 1920s. With equal parts affection and barbed wit, he uncovers the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls.

Title: Ain't No Sunshine: The Smooth Soul and Rough Edges of Bill Withers Author: Mark Ribowsky Narrator: Beresford Bennett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 52 minutes Release date: October 17, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The first biography of Bill Withers, the most accidental music supernova, who walked away from fame and never looked back.Bill Withers entered the music fray as hardly an afterthought, rewrote the rules for a decade, earned a fortune, then, unable to square himself with the requisites of the music business, took his leave. When he died in 2019 at eighty-one, he was every bit the mystery he was when he started.Born and raised in Slab Fork, West Virginia—his father a coal miner, his childhood spent in a pit of racism, and a shy kid who was asthmatic and stuttered—Withers had every reason to say, “People ask what are the blues. Hell, I was the blues!” His adulthood was spent running away from Slab Fork as a navy enlistee who worked military-related jobs, including making toilets for 747s. Music was a fantasy, ruled by unscrupulous brokers whom he thought he would never be able to live easily with. When he sang of calling on a “lonely brother” in “Lean on Me,” his biggest hit and an astounding feast for the ears, few knew that he was singing about himself. He was the lonely brother, and the business whose audio rules he refashioned only made him lonelier. His songs were not riling, but easing and caressing the deepest of emotional clefts that bore the weight of the world and the reassurance of a better day on his shoulders—“Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” “Use Me,” “Lovely Day,” “Just the Two of Us”—as well as album cuts that leaped off the vinyl and helped form a coterie of evergreens among his fans. Yet he ruled in his precious fold of time—eight years in the sun—without as much as an agent, manager, lawyer, accountant, valet, or flunky. He was on his own in every way.This is the craziest success story music has known—a whirlwind that didn’t begin until Withers was in his thirties and carried on as if in neat slow-motion. Now, in this remarkable biography by acclaimed author Mark Ribowsky, Withers is brought to life in vivid detail, told with insights from those who knew him throughout his short but incredibly impactful career.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/701565Tue, 17 Oct 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/701565 to listen full audiobooks.

Cheap, portable, and reusable, this small plastic rectangle changed music history. Make your own tapes! Trade them with friends! Tape over the ones you don't like! The cassette tape upended pop culture, creating movements and uniting communities.

Scorned by the record industry for 'killing music,' the cassette tape rippled through scenes corporations couldn't control. For so many, tapes meant freedom—to create, to invent, to connect. Marc Masters introduces listeners to the tape artists who thrive underground; concert tapers who trade bootlegs; mixtape makers who send messages with cassettes; tape hunters who rescue forgotten sounds; and today's labels, which reject streaming and sell music on cassette.

Anna Mae Bullock, más conocida como Tina Turner, nació en Nutbush, Tennessee, el 26 de noviembre de 1939. Iba camino de convertirse en enfermera cuando una noche de 1957 el batería de los Kings of the Rythm le tendió el micrófono y todo el mundo quedó impresionado por su voz. Desde entonces no se bajó del escenario. Formó dúo con su marido, Ike Turner, hasta que el productor Phil Spector la descubrió y le ofreció producir sus discos. Este fue el origen de su famosa canción «River Deep – Mountain High». A finales de los setenta Tina Turner comenzó su carrera musical en solitario y desde entonces no dejó de alcanzar el número uno de las listas de éxitos alrededor de todo el mundo. También ha aparecido en películas como «Mad Max», por la que ganó el premio Image a la mejor actriz de cine. Hoy ya está retirada, pero lo que está claro es que Tina Turner ha dejado una huella imborrable en la historia del rock.

Title: MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios Author: Dave Gonzales, Joanna Robinson, Gavin Edwards Narrator: Joanna Robinson, Andrew Kishino Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 40 minutes Release date: October 10, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.43 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 4 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Marvel Studios is the dominant player in Hollywood and global pop culture, having generated almost $30 billion in revenue and remade the entire business of movies and mass entertainment. Yet its origin story is as unlikely as that of any of its beloved superheroes. How did Marvel conquer the world? And will it be able to survive its own outrageous success?In MCU, culture writers Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred original interviews—with everyone from studio head Kevin Feige to producers, directors, movie stars, writers, and even Doctor Strange’s Cloak of Levitation—to present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole, ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They demonstrate that, from the first Iron Man, which released in 2008, the genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood’s old studio system: it signed up actors for long-term contracts, cultivated trusted staff writers, and brought on a small army of visual artists who sometimes determined the look of a movie before a director was even hired. The result was a string of hits without parallel in the annals of moviemaking. Each film had its own tone and tenor—Marvel played with genre, from the space opera Guardians of the Galaxy to the political thriller Captain America: The Winter Soldier—but each was also part of a larger narrative mosaic. Bought by Disney in 2009, Marvel Studios expanded into TV with the creation of the streaming service Disney Plus—its ambitions onlygrowing. Spanning the early 1990s to the present, MCU relates many never-before-told stories, including the high-stakes Mar-a-Lago lunch where the idea of Marvel Studios was first pitched. It reveals that, for all its outward success, the studio was forged by near-constant conflict, from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. to the bitter, internecine battles with the so-called Creative Committee in New York City to the disappointment of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and shocking departures of multiple Marvel executives in 2023. Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full—and an essential, effervescent account of American mass culture.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698509Tue, 10 Oct 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698509 to listen full audiobooks.

Born into the steam and starch of a Chinese laundry, Anna May Wong (1905–1961) emerged from turn-of-the-century Los Angeles to become Old Hollywood's most famous Chinese American actress, a screen siren who captivated global audiences and signed her publicity photos—with a touch of defiance—'Orientally yours.' Now, more than a century after her birth, Yunte Huang narrates Wong's tragic life story, retracing her journey from Chinatown to silent-era Hollywood, and from Weimar Berlin to decadent, prewar Shanghai, and capturing American television in its infancy. As Huang shows, Wong's rendezvous with history features a remarkable parade of characters, including a smitten Walter Benjamin and (an equally smitten) Marlene Dietrich. Challenging the parodically racist perceptions of Wong as a 'Dragon Lady,' 'Madame Butterfly,' or 'China Doll,' Huang's biography becomes a truly resonant work of history that reflects the raging anti-Chinese xenophobia, unabashed sexism, and ageism toward women that defined both Hollywood and America in Wong's all-too-brief fifty-six years on earth.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702763Tue, 10 Oct 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702763 to listen full audiobooks.

La infancia del Rey del Pop había oscilado entre los maltratos de su padre y el estrellato temprano: era el cantante principal en los Jackson Five, la banda que formaba junto a sus hermanos. Ya lanzado como solista y con la producción de Quincy Jones, hizo su irrupción definitiva en la escena musical de los ´80 gracias a álbumes como 'Thriller' y 'Bad'. Al día de hoy no existe sobre la faz de la Tierra un paso de baile más icónico que su 'caminata lunar'. Luego llegó la etapa de las cirugías, el cambio en el color de piel y varios comportamientos extraños. Y lo verdaderamente grave: las denuncias por abuso sexual de varios niños que habían asistido a su mansión, Neverland. Durante mucho tiempo esos chicos casi no fueron escuchados. Parecía que el público amaba demasiado a Michael Jackson, y que era demasiado poderoso, como para creer que había cometido esos crímenes.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Violeta Parra Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 52 minutes Release date: October 10, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Violeta Parra es una de las voces más poderosas de la canción latinoamericana. La letrista brillante, muy formada en la poesía del propio idioma. La compiladora minuciosa del folklore de su Chile natal. La cantante que apenas acompañada con su guitarra lograba unas interpretaciones prodigiosas, síntesis del amor, desgarro y gratitud que sentía en lo más profundo. La precursora del movimiento que se conocería como Nueva Canción Chilena. 'Volver a los 17', 'Run Run se fue pa´l norte', 'El gavilán', 'Arriba quemando el sol', 'Rin del angelito', 'Gracias a la vida'... Realmente son demasiados los temas que dejó a su paso y ya son clásicos internacionales. Muchos fueron reversionados por figuras contemporáneas a ella, como Víctor Jara o Mercedes Sosa, y ahora por nuevas y nuevos exponentes de la música.

Title: [Spanish] - Biografías breves - Violeta Parra Author: Luis Machado Narrator: Varios Narradores Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 52 minutes Release date: October 10, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Violeta Parra es una de las voces más poderosas de la canción latinoamericana. La letrista brillante, muy formada en la poesía del propio idioma. La compiladora minuciosa del folklore de su Chile natal. La cantante que apenas acompañada con su guitarra lograba unas interpretaciones prodigiosas, síntesis del amor, desgarro y gratitud que sentía en lo más profundo. La precursora del movimiento que se conocería como Nueva Canción Chilena. 'Volver a los 17', 'Run Run se fue pa´l norte', 'El gavilán', 'Arriba quemando el sol', 'Rin del angelito', 'Gracias a la vida'... Realmente son demasiados los temas que dejó a su paso y ya son clásicos internacionales. Muchos fueron reversionados por figuras contemporáneas a ella, como Víctor Jara o Mercedes Sosa, y ahora por nuevas y nuevos exponentes de la música. La existencia de Violeta Parra fue intensa, por momentos verdaderamente terrible, pero ella se ocupó de afirmar la hermosura de la vida hasta el final. - -]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/connery-sean-connery-before-during-and-after-his-most-famous-role-by-herbie-j-pilato--65312945https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702803 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Who Am I? Author: Danny Cipriani Narrator: Harriet Fisher, Joe Gaminara Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 59 minutes Release date: October 5, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: ‘Powerful and thoughtful’ Don McRae, Guardian ‘A fascinating and incredibly honest insight into the pressurised life of an elite athlete, on and off the pitch’ Piers Morgan RAW. REVEALING. REFLECTIVE. The candid autobiography. This audio edition includes an exclusive in-conversation interview with Danny as he reflects on his life and career Danny Cipriani has always been searching for something. On the pitch, it was a line-break or space. A chink of light to dart through. An angle that no one else could see. Off the pitch, it was seeking a path through the pressure, fame and chaos that came with being anointed the ‘Saviour of English Rugby’. Who Am I? is the raw and powerful memoir of a man of mercurial talent who, with the world at his feet, made his England rugby debut aged 20. A man who, just a year later, contemplated suicide. A man whose safe space was on the field, away from the drink, the women and the drugs he turned to in an attempt to escape his thoughts. Now, for the first time, one of the most compelling personalities in the sport reflects on who he was, where he’s come from and the man he’s become. Alongside his astute insight into playing under Martin Johnson, Stuart Lancaster and Eddie Jones, Danny also talks about chasing his dreams, his desire and passion to represent England, and his drive to become the best player he could be. This is the story of a once complicated man. A man searching for answers. A man trying to understand who he is.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699536Thu, 05 Oct 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699536 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline and Business Author: Craig Archibald Narrator: Craig Archibald, Constance Wu Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 4 minutes Release date: September 26, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline, and Business uniquely prepares actors to live full, successful lives as performing artists. While most acting books focus on either the art or the business of entertainment, Archibald looks at the entire picture of what it means to be an actor, focusing on the foundations of both the artist and the entrepreneur to guarantee a complete and fully functioning approach to a career. The Actor's Mindset is divided into three distinct parts: 'The Craft,' 'The Discipline,' and 'The Business.' Archibald's unique experience as both an actor and a coach gives him an unparalleled perspective on the current industry landscape. While classic method texts still circulate, and there are actors who have written books that address craft, none have Archibald's depth of knowledge and experience in coaching, nor approach the art from a professional standpoint instead of solely an instructional one. The success of Craig's approach is exemplified by the success of his clients, a roster that includes Constance Wu, John Slattery, and two-time Academy Award nominee Dan Futterman.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702760Tue, 26 Sep 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702760 to listen full audiobooks.

NO PROBLEM. Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera? For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee's real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over thirty years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over thirty witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world.

Coco Chanel was an extraordinary inventor, conjuring up the little black dress, bobbed hair, trousers for women, contemporary chic, bestselling perfumes, and the most successful fashion brand of all time. But she also invented herself, fashioning the myth of her own life with the same dexterity as her couture; and what lies beneath her own glossy surface is darker, more mysterious, and far more intriguing. Uncovering remarkable new details about Gabrielle Chanel’s humble early years, Justine Picardie picks up the legend Chanel where it began—in orphanhood and poverty. Throwing new light on her passionate and, at times, dark relationships and providing profound insights into her connections with Cocteau, Diaghilev, Picasso, and Dali, this beautifully constructed portrait gives a fresh and penetrating look at what made Coco Chanel the strong-spirited and powerful presence she became. An authoritative account, based on personal observations and interviews with Chanel’s last surviving friends, employees, and relatives, the book also unravels her coded language and symbols and tracks the influence of her formative years on her legendary style. Feared and revered by the rest of the fashion industry, Coco Chanel died in 1971 at the age of 87, but her legacy lives on. This special new edition has been extensively revised and updated and offers a uniquely authoritative account of the world’s greatest designer.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702399Tue, 19 Sep 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702399 to listen full audiobooks.

El rey de Francia acaba de ser ajusticiado cuando dos viejos conocidos se reencuentran tras una traición, dos hombres que comparten dos sinceras pasiones: música y revolución. ¿A cuál de esas dos damas rendir amor incondicional? Siete cuerdas es un viaje por la música y por el convulso final del siglo xviii: desde una aldea en los Pirineos y las orquestas de París y Viena al último estreno del compositor W. A.

Built around a series of easy to digest life lessons. It’s a book that poses a simple question - “Do you want to be better person?

Tim Cundle, Mass Movement A mixture of very enjoyable punk poetry and Buddhist thought... designed to help you make sense of the world and your place in it. This book shows that a lot of punk rock thoughts and ideas can be found in Buddhism, if you look at it the way Sam Marsh does. Tony Whatley, Suspect Device Wisdom of the Punk Buddha teaches us about true punk rock ethos, principles of Buddhism, love, peace, unity, wisdom, and many other topics through a comprehensive collection of thoughtfully written poems. The author shares his thoughts, observations, and criticism but also takes time to explain some background too. Wisdom of the Punk Buddha is a must read for every bookworm punkrocker. Djordje Miladinovic, Thoughts Words Action Punks are really nice, but many people are scared of them. Punks definitely have an attitude, and this can be deemed intimidating if you don’t know how to read it. Even though punks are lovely, they are not afraid to vent their anger at the state of the world, and protest against all the terrible things that some people do. This is why punk music sounds so aggressive - it’s getting all that anger out. At the core of punk attitude is love - yearning for a better world where people can live in harmony and peace, free from suffering.

Despite popular interest in the origins of this empire, the core of the Warner Bros. saga cannot be found in its commercial successes. It is the story of four brothers—Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack—whose vision for Hollywood helped shape the world of entertainment. In The Warner Brothers, Chris Yogerst follows the siblings from their family's humble origins in Poland, through their young adulthood in the American Midwest, to the height of fame and fortune in Hollywood. With unwavering resolve, the brothers soldiered on against the backdrop of an America reeling from the aftereffects of domestic and global conflict. The Great Depression would not sink the brothers, who churned out competitive films that engaged audiences and kept their operations afloat. During World War II, they used their platform to push beyond the limits of the Production Code and create important films about real-world issues, openly criticizing radicalism and the evils of the Nazi regime. At every major cultural turning point in their lifetime, the Warners held a front-row seat. Paying close attention to the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders, Yogerst chronicles how the Warners built a global filmmaking powerhouse.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697598Tue, 12 Sep 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697598 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [German] - Der Trost der Schönheit - Eine Suche (Ungekürzte Autorinnenlesung) Author: Gabriele Von Arnim Narrator: Gabriele Von Arnim Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 29 minutes Release date: September 8, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Trost finden. In einer Welt, die so überwältigend, ängstigend, fordernd sein kann. Trost finden im Empfinden von Schönheit, weil das, so Gabriele von Arnim, nicht weniger ist als Selbsterhalt. 'Ich brauche Schönheit. Den Trost der Schönheit. Denn wenn ich Schönheit sehe, höre, lese, spüre, dann glaube ich an Möglichkeiten. An Wege, Räume, Purzelbäume.' Der Trost der Schönheit ist eine schillernde Verbindung aus autobiografischem und essayistischem Erzählen: keine Kulturgeschichte, die ihren Gegenstand mit Theorie einhegen will, sondern eine literarische Spurensuche. Gabriele von Arnim fragt nach den Formen und Wirkungen dessen, was wir schön nennen; nach dem Glück und den dunklen Seiten der Empfindsamkeit. Die Suche führt zurück in die Kindheit, zu einem Mädchen aus kühl geführtem Haus, das erst lernen muss, zu fühlen, um Schönheit - einen tröstlichen Moment lang - in all ihrer endlichen Fülle wahrnehmen zu können. Ein Hörbuch, das den Blick weitet für die Welt um uns und ihre Vergänglichkeit, das Mut macht zum Aushalten von Ambivalenz.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/704179Fri, 08 Sep 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/704179 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Bing and Billie and Frank and Ella and Judy and Barbra Author: Dan Callahan Narrator: Paul Bellantoni Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 58 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Crosby, Holiday, Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Garland, and Streisand were the major interpreters of the American songbook, and this is the interlocking story of their lives and careers. Here is the epic tale of how these artists dominated American popular music over a fifty-year period, a roller coaster ride that gains momentum through the 1930s and '40s, reaches a crest of magical creativity in the 1950s and early '60s, and then crashes down by the early 1970s, a half century when the great American songbook dominated the airwaves and the fight for racial equality came to the forefront. Ella was beloved in her time, and she is still beloved. Frank is still the king of the songbook, but Bing's legacy is just as vital once you start listening to his unprecedented 1930s output. The best songs from Judy's greatest triumph, her 1963–64 TV series, are shared endlessly online. The legend of Billie grows by the year, and the basis of this should be appreciation and wonder for her own great artistry in the 1930s. Barbra is a living legend and still a commercial force to be reckoned with, the last exemplar of the songbook and its glories. All six of these singers reach out to us and show us new ways of expression and new ways to dream.

Title: To Dance, to Live: A Biography of Thalia Mara Author: Carolyn J. Brown Narrator: Rebecca Avery Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 17 minutes Release date: September 5, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Thalia Mara's story spans the history of dance in the twentieth century and the rise of the arts in her adopted city of Jackson, Mississippi. As an adolescent Mara (1911–2003) studied with renowned Russian teacher Adolph Bolm, who recommended she go at age sixteen to Paris for further study. During a tour in Europe and South America, she met her partner in dance and life, Arthur Mahoney, and they dazzled the world with their breathtaking performances during the 1930s and '40s. The two were named codirectors of Jacob's Pillow in 1947, gracing the cover of Life magazine that year. Later they started two schools of dance in New York City, but despite much success, they closed due to lack of funding. That misfortune, however, was Jackson's boon as it led Mara to the second phase of her career: reviving the Jackson Ballet Company and bringing the USA International Ballet Competition (IBC) to the state. Thalia Mara was recognized at the end of her life not only for the USA IBC's decision to locate in Jackson, but also for her efforts as a patron of the arts. Her extraordinary fundraising and planning attracted international performers to the city in the 1980s and '90s.

Title: The Blues: A Very Short Introduction Author: Elijah Wald Narrator: Brian Telestai Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 8 minutes Release date: August 29, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Praised as 'suave, soulful, ebullient' (Tom Waits), Elijah Wald is one of the leading popular music critics of his generation. In The Blues, Wald surveys a genre at the heart of American culture. It has been defined by lyrical structure, or as a progression of chords, or as a set of practices reflecting West African 'tonal and rhythmic approaches,' using a five-note 'blues scale.' He traces its roots in work and praise songs, and shows how it was transformed by such professional performers as W. C. Handy, who first popularized the blues a century ago. He follows its evolution from Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith through Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix; identifies the impact of rural field recordings of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton, and others; explores the role of blues in the development of both country music and jazz; and looks at the popular rhythm and blues trends of the 1940s and 1950s, from the uptown West Coast style of T-Bone Walker to the 'down home' Chicago sound of Muddy Waters. Wald brings the story up to the present, touching on the effects of blues on American poetry, and its connection to modern styles such as rap. As with all of Oxford's Very Short Introductions, The Blues tells you—with insight, clarity, and wit—everything you need to know to understand this quintessentially American musical genre.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697605Tue, 29 Aug 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697605 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Holler Rat: A Memoir Author: Anya Liftig Narrator: Anya Liftig Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 49 minutes Release date: August 29, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Anya Liftig grew up with a foot in two very different worlds: While her mother's upbringing was so rural that the other kids called her 'holler rat,' her father came from a comfortable, upper-middle-class Jewish family. Anya spent school years in affluent Connecticut and summers in the holler. Shaped by the experience, she would go on to win a scholarship to Yale and become an acclaimed artist, using provocative performances to explore the contradictions and unanswered questions of her life. But when the world Anya was building for herself shattered, she was forced to reconcile where she'd come from with who she was and who she wanted to be. In Holler Rat, Liftig masterfully interweaves family lore from her Appalachian childhood with her performance art pieces and scenes of the yearlong period in which her life fell apart, and plumbs the cathartic self-reckoning that followed. She takes us from her Mamaw's porch to Yale; from the site of a violent family land feud to a pre-gentrified Bushwick loft; and from a devastating childhood leg injury to having 243 raw eggs pelted at her in the name of art. In visceral, beautiful prose that ranges from raunchy and outrageous to sobering and tragic, Holler Rat is the origin story of an unconventional artistic life and a captivating account of the stumbling blocks, sacrifices, and discoveries along the way.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699538Tue, 29 Aug 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699538 to listen full audiobooks.

Zwanzig Jahre später gibt Paris Hilton selbst eine Antwort, die viele überraschen wird. Denn schon als Teenagerin erfuhr sie die disziplinierende Gewalt einer frauenfeindlichen Gesellschaft: Paris nimmt ihre Leser*innen mit zu Flirts, die bald kein Spiel mehr waren; in finstere Erziehungsheime, in die ihre Eltern sie steckten, weil sie sonst nirgends reinpasste; auf die Bühne der Öffentlichkeit, auf der ihr, kaum hatte sie diese betreten, Spott und Häme entgegenschlugen. Doch anders als viele Stars ihrer Zeit erlangte Paris wieder Kontrolle über ihr Leben und erfüllte sich ihre Träume. Und während die Jugendsender und Klatschspalten von damals kaum noch existieren, wird Paris von ihren Fans mehr geliebt denn je.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700453Thu, 24 Aug 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700453 to listen full audiobooks.

Punk, politics, habit, the nature of work, the environment, nostalgia, aging, and some quintessentially British whimsy, all crammed in together like a last minute bag hurriedly packed for tour. Somehow it works. A man in too many bands to count (The Domestics, PI$$ER, Da Groins, Tokyo Lungs... that's not even half of 'em), a solo artist, a vocalist, a songwriter, a DJ, a poet, a painter, someone who failed miserably at school, spent his early post-school life between the chemical factory and the dole, and somehow now has a PhD (yep, it's genuinely Dr Domestic!). A square peg in life's round hole. A face that never really fitted. He couldn't care less. Come along for the ride. Domesticated is an eighty page collection of James Domestics street-poetry and punk-prose. He's always on the road and at the gigs.

Mcglasson Narrator: Jenny Holmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 30 minutes Release date: August 15, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: He had the face of a true villain, chiseled to perfection. Director Sergio Leone, best-known for “the Man with No Name” spaghetti western trilogy, once described Van Cleef as having the face of a hawk; actor Eli Wallach called it “wonderfully alive” and full of wickedness. As an actor, Van Cleef portrayed some of the best movie villains of all time—Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Frank Talby in Day of Anger. Although more than thirty years have passed since his premature death in 1989, Lee Van Cleef remains a cinematic icon for millions of film fans worldwide, and his legacy as the “Best of the Bad” is set in granite. Lee Van Cleef: Best of the Bad explores the life and career of this great actor, a man with unbounded talent and a heart of finely-polished gold. Through interviews and numerous sources, Best of the Bad reveals the real Lee Van Cleef and discusses his roles in For A Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and Day of Anger, along with chapters on mythic archetypes and historical gunfighters and bounty hunters.

From hitting countless sixes in his school ground in the sleepy town of Ranchi to finishing a run chase with another towering six in a World Cup final against Sri Lanka, Dhoni's journey is undoubtedly one of the most iconic of our times. Many have tried to decode his mystique, and yet, every account seems to have fallen frustratingly short of capturing the essence of the man. Instead, in Do Different, we offer diverse perspectives on the man: from a fellow wicketkeeper and competitor reminiscing on Dhoni's early years; to MSD's first agent with his perspective on the journey of brand Dhoni; to an international fast bowler who played with MSD since his first-class days and then starred for him in the Indian Premier League.

Title: My Army Days with Elvis Author: Johnny Lang Narrator: Hank Hart Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 31 minutes Release date: July 25, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: What was Elvis like in those early Army Days? The question I get most is 'what was he like?' It's hard to give a blanket answer because I knew the 22-year-old version of what everyone else sees in the media and those tell all books. We were kids, clowning around having fun, playing football, chasing girls. I didn't know him in his turbulent years or have exposure to any prescription pill use or so-called mood swings. I only knew the young, very funny, unvarnished version of him. Hopefully the stories in this book shed more light on what he was really like. A number of years ago, The National Enquirer wanted to pay me for an interview and was looking for dirt. Not a chance. I enjoyed being Elvis' friend in those early days of his career. For decades, many people have asked me to write this book...so now in my 80s here it is. I had fun telling these stories and you will laugh or even find it touching, but simply enjoy the real Elvis in the Army. I have also included for you some stories by his singing buddy, Wes Daniels, as well as some romantic stuff shared by his early girlfriend and first secretary, Elisabeth Mansfield. - Johnny Lang]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702647Tue, 25 Jul 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702647 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Spanish] - Algún tiempo atrás. La vida de Gustavo Cerati Author: Sergio Marchi Narrator: Sebastian Diaz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 22 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: La biografía definitiva de Gustavo Cerati, uno de los músicos argentinos de mayor trascendencia internacional, escrita por uno de los periodistas e historiadores que mejor lo conoció, y que pone en un mismo, exhaustivo tomo, hecho de infinidad de entrevistas y un enorme archivo personal, las distintas dimensiones del hombre y el artista, su recorrido vital, su fuerza creativa y su enorme legado. La perfección es inalcanzable. Sin embargo, Gustavo Cerati la buscó con fuerza y pasión en su arte. En conexión con ese espíritu irreductible, Algún tiempo atrás. La vida de Gustavo Cerati aborda el recorrido vital y creativo del hombre y del artista con la misma conciencia -la de que hay enigmas de imposible resolución- pero sin limitarse jamás en su afanosa investigación. Decidido a recuperar la parte más luminosa de esta figura única, la de uno de los músicos argentinos de mayor proyección internacional, Sergio Marchi no deja rincón sin visitar: en procura tanto del compositor e intérprete que trascendió masivamente con Soda Stereo y luego se reinventó en una extraordinaria carrera solista, como del hijo de una familia trabajadora que -dato que suele olvidarse bajo el prejuicioso mito del 'cheto'- llegó desde el interior del país a la Buenos Aires de los 50; del niño travieso, curioso y activo; del adolescente insaciable que conoció la ebullición rockera de los 70; de ese muchacho que supo que habría de hacerse a sí mismo a fuerza de talento y también de trabajo. Del ser enamoradizo que encontró en las mujeres un manantial inagotable de inspiración, mucho amor y no pocos padecimientos; del marido y padre que anheló ser. Del obrero musical que muy poca gente conoció; que experimentó con el rock, el pop, la electrónica, con la tecnología y con sus pelos. Y de la estrella hábil, escurridiza y audaz que lidió con adversidades externas e internas y supo sortear muchas de las trampas de la fama. Del hombre que transitó varias lunas y unas cuantas vidas. En virtud de una investigación minuciosa, una multitud de entrevistas exclusivas a otros artistas, amigos y allegados, y un archivo personal enorme forjado a través de una relación de años que fue un vínculo profesional pero también de afecto y complicidad, Marchi pone en juego las múltiples dimensiones de este hacedor de universos, desbarata algunas falsas creencias y recupera la magia de un personaje a la vez mítico y absolutamente real y sensible, de carne y hueso.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698983Thu, 20 Jul 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698983 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Croatian] - Voli me vise od svega na svijetu - 1.Dio: Price o pripadanju Author: Mira Furlan Narrator: Tajana Petrovic Cemeljic Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 53 minutes Release date: July 20, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Zivot najvece filmske i kazalisne dive nasih prostora Mire Furlan bio je vise od zivota, prepun uzbudjenja, velicanstvenih uspjeha, padova, ljubavi i izdaja. U autobiografskoj knjizi dovrsenoj pred preranu smrt Mira Furlan pripovijeda, literarno mocno, svoj zivot i zivote svojih bliznjih – od sudbine majke Branke i oca Ivana te bake Ljube do supruga Gorana i sina Marka, kojem je knjiga i posvecena. Bez zadrske Mira Furlan citatelja uvodi u vlastiti svijet, u svoje intimne drame, razmisljanja i karijeru. Voli me vise od svega na svijetu ozivljava vrijeme koje je nestalo u ratu, generaciju i pojedince koji su vjerovali u bolji i sretniji svijet te zbog toga, pogotovo ako su bili nadnacionalni poput autorice, pocetkom sukoba u bivsoj Jugoslaviji za njih vise nije bilo mjesta u novim drzavama. Emotivna, mocna proza u kojoj pratimo zivot mlade intelektualke koja odrasta u disfunkcionalnoj obitelji te se odlucuje za glumu, gdje se smjenjuju sreca i nesreca, proza u kojoj vidimo i lice i nalicje slave, urezuje nam se svakim zarezom, svakom recenicom pod kozu. Ne izostavljajući nista i nikoga, ne stedeći nikoga, a najmanje sebe, Mira Furlan napisala je autobiografiju koja se cita kao roman. U njoj se ostvaruje 'americki san', ali, naposljetku, najvaznija je ljubav, koja joj je pomogla da lakse brodi karijerom. Voli me vise od svega na svijetu knjiga je koja s puno sentimenta i osjecaja, a uvijek beskompromisno, s mnogo suza i smijeha, evocira ne samo Miru Furlan vec i cijeli jedan svijet, poput Atlantide potopljen, ali ne i zaboravljen. 'Da li pisem ovu knjigu za tebe? Da bi ti mogao razumjeti sto se desavalo prije tebe? Kako bi mogao proviriti u daleki, davno nestali svijet iz kojeg su potekli tvoji roditelji? Da li uopce zelis znati nesto o tome? Da li ti treba ta teska prtljaga, prtljaga koju tvoja majka vuce sa sobom cijeli svoj zivot, ne nalazeci nacina da je bar nacas odlozi? Ili pisem za sebe, sebi? Zasto? Da li zato da 'bolje razumijem samu sebe' pokusavajuci detektirati skrivenu 'pricu' u rastrkanom, nelogicnom, kaoticnom narativu svojega zivota? Dok sam pokusavala odgovoriti na ta pitanja na koja odgovor nije moguc, boreci se s rijecima jezika koji nije moj (iako se drsko pretvaram da jest), desilo se nesto jako cudno: odrastao si. Ne samo to: Amerika je postala drugacija zemlja, zemlja zlokobno slicna mjestu koje smo nekoc napustili s uzasom i u ocaju. Vise nema sumnje da su sile koje su nas istjerale iz nasih domova izvojevale globalnu pobjedu. Vec smo se jednom borili s tim silama. Sada smo umorni. Iscrpljeni ponavljanjem. Usto, prilicno neobicno, ova knjiga postaje drugacija knjiga. To vise nije knjiga sjecanja na daleko mjesto i daleko vrijeme.

Title: Theatre of the Unimpressed: In Search of Vital Drama Author: Jordan Tannahill Narrator: Johnnie Walker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 25 minutes Release date: June 15, 2023 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it. Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between? A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form. Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698968Thu, 15 Jun 2023 07:33:24 +0000Sandy MantePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698968 to listen full audiobooks.

Her story defied belief, but it was true. Every bit of it. Except for her name. The American Aloha Wanderwell was raised in Canada as Idris Hall.

Elvis' Karriere ist ohne ihn undenkbar, weshalb sich Warner Bros. auch entschieden hat, James L.

Colonel Tom Parker zeichnet das fesselnde Porträt eines rücksichtslosen Machtmenschen, der mit seinem manipulativen Genie neue Weg bei der Vermarktung von Künstlern erschloss und der Erste war, der aus seinem Star eine Marke machte.
