Title: The Point of Distraction Author: Will Eaves Narrator: Will Eaves Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 22 minutes Release date: August 29, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A memoir by the 2019 Wellcome Prize winner Will Eaves that looks at the creation of six piano pieces. 'A wonderfully sensitive and probing meditation on the writing of words and music' Rolf Hind, composer and pianist What lies behind the creation of a piece of music? Does it spring fully formed from a composer’s mind, or take shape in the recesses of the brain, revealing itself in stages over time? Is the creative act deliberate or happenstance? An inspired vision or the result of practice? Will Eaves, author and musician, shares his experience of writing eight new piano pieces after many years away from the keyboard. Some of the music is found in old notebooks and teenage enthusiasms, some of it is caught on the wing – a response to the resurgence of the natural world during COVID lockdown. None of it is what he is meant to be doing. But then not all artistic interests are primary or professional interests. Sometimes it’s the second-string activities, the diversions, that bring work – and life – into focus. The Point of Distraction is a unique account of music-making that embraces Bach, film, jazz, literature, neuroscience and the mystery of will power in its search for meaning. At its heart is a love of skill, an openness to self-doubt, and a belief that we are all more than our declared aims.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506591Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506591 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Parachute Women: Marianne Faithfull, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger, Anita Pallenberg, and the Women Behind the Rolling Stones Author: Elizabeth Winder Narrator: Angelina Rocca Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Discover the true story of the four women who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help shape and curate the image of The Rolling Stones—perfect for fans of Girls Like Us. The Rolling Stones have long been considered one of the greatest rock-and-roll bands of all time. At the forefront of the British Invasion and heading up the counterculture movement of the 1960s, the Stones' innovative music and iconic performances defined a generation, and fifty years later, they're still performing to sold-out stadiums around the globe. Yet, as the saying goes, behind every great man is a greater woman, and behind these larger-than-life rockstars were four incredible women whose stories have yet to be fully unpacked . . . until now. In Parachute Women, Elizabeth Winder introduces us to the four women who inspired, styled, wrote for, remixed, and ultimately helped create the legend of the Rolling Stones. Marianne Faithfull, Marsha Hunt, Bianca Jagger, and Anita Pallenberg put the glimmer in the Glimmer Twins and taught a group of straight-laced boys to be bad. They opened the doors to subterranean art and alternative lifestyles, turned them on to Russian literature, occult practices, and LSD. They connected them to cutting edge directors and writers, won them roles in art house films that renewed their appeal. They often acted as unpaid stylists, providing provocative looks from their personal wardrobes. They remixed tracks for chart-topping albums, and sometimes even wrote the actual songs. More hip to the times than the rockers themselves, they consciously (and unconsciously) kept the band current—and confident—with that mythic lasting power they still have today. Lush in detail and insight, and long overdue, Parachute Women is a group portrait of the four audacious women who transformed the Stones into international stars, but who were themselves marginalized by the male-dominated rock world of the late '60s and early '70s. Written in the tradition of Sheila Weller's Girls Like Us, it's a story of lust and rivalries, friendships and betrayals, hope and degradation, and the birth of rock and roll.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513598Tue, 11 Jul 2023 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513598 to listen full audiobooks.

Laura Dern and Diane Ladd always had a close relationship, but the stakes were raised when Diane developed a sudden life-threatening illness. Diane’s doctor prescribed long walks to build back her lung capacity. The exertion was challenging, and Laura soon learned the best way to distract her mom was to get her talking and telling stories.    Their conversations along the way began to break down the traditional barriers between mothers and daughters. They discussed the most personal topics: love, sex, marriage, divorce, art, ambition, and legacy. In Honey, Baby, Mine, Laura and Diane share these conversations, as well as reflections and anecdotes, taking readers on an intimate tour of their lives. Complementing these candid exchanges, they have included photos, family recipes, and other mementos.

Brian Johnson’s memoir from growing up in a small town to starting his own band to ultimately replacing Bon Scott, the lead singer of one of the world biggest rock acts, AC/DC. They would record their first album together, the iconic Back in Black, which would become the biggest selling rock album of all time. Brian Johnson was born to a steelworker and WWII veteran father and an Italian mother, growing up in New Castle Upon Tyne, England, a working-class town. He was musically inclined and sang with the church choir. By the early ’70s he performed with the glam rock band Geordie, and they had a couple hits, but it was tough going. So tough that by 1976, they disbanded and Brian turned to a blue-collar life. Then 1980 changed everything. Bon Scott, the lead singer and lyricist of the Australian rock band AC/DC died at 33. The band auditioned singers, among them Johnson, whom Scott himself had seen perform and raved about. Within days, Johnson was in a studio with the band, working with founding members Angus and Malcolm Young, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd, along with producer Mutt Lange. When the album, Back in Black, was released in July—a mere three months after Johnson had joined the band—it exploded, going on to sell 50 million copies worldwide, and triggering a years-long worldwide tour. It has been declared “the biggest selling hard rock album ever made” and “the best-selling heavy-metal album in history.” The band toured the world for a full year to support the album, changing the face of rock music—and Brian Johnson’s life—forever.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515385Tue, 25 Oct 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515385 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Father's Son: Family, football and forgiveness Author: Mat Rogers Narrator: Mat Rogers Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 16 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: 'A book about humanity as much as sport. It’s like sitting at the kitchen table with your best mate and he’s pouring his heart out – about his life, his loss, his triumphs and his faults … and the love that got him through. Honest, generous, and most of all, courageous.' Markus Zusak, bestselling author of The Book Thief   Mat Rogers is an Aussie footy legend and TV star who has triumphed over hardship, loss and heartache. He is finally ready to share his powerful life story. He is one of the most talented footballers of the modern era and a dual international in rugby league and rugby union. But for a long time, Mat Rogers lived in both the shadow and the thrall of his famous father, and their complex relationship shaped him in ways he couldn’t fathom. Craving paternal acceptance while determined to carve out his own identity and, later, to avoid repeating the sins of the father, he veered between periods of jubilation and depression, fulfilment and despair. Now, in his majestic, evocative autobiography, Rogers tells the story of a life framed by triumph and tragedy, a life in which, ultimately, he finds purpose and contentment in a harsh world. With its cracking pace and unvarnished frankness, A Father’s Son will be widely read and difficult to forget. Though by and about a celebrated footballer, it is so much more than another athlete’s memoirs. In spare, vivid prose, Rogers reveals how his teenage years were marked by periods of rebellion and self-destructive behaviour. Then, at age 20, he became a father to son Jack before he had finished his own journey into adulthood. By 22, he was married to first wife Michelle with another child, daughter Skyla, following shortly after. As well as discussing the experience of having a family while still a young man, Rogers also recounts the challenges that have defined his life off the sports field – the impact of losing both his parents in tragic circumstances and the experimental neck surgery he underwent in 2007, ending years of debilitating pain. Rogers’ story is one of a man who rises to the difficulties life sends his way. The discovery that his son Max is autistic prompted him and second wife Chloe to co-found charity 4 ASD Kids – and he talks passionately about the work he has done to raise awareness of a subject so close to home. That fighting spirit introduced Rogers to an even greater number of Australians who watched the sporting legend thrive on Australian Survivor. Across two memorable appearances on the reality TV series, he impressed viewers with his ability to combine his competitive spirit with his desire to play with heart. That duality, which defines Rogers' life, shines through in A Father’s Son. 'I couldn’t put this down. Mat shares his story with so much honesty and openness. I was overcome with emotion and such deep respect for Mat and the person, father and role model that he is.' Sally Obermeder, author and presenter]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520890Tue, 04 Oct 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520890 to listen full audiobooks.

We're required to fit into boxes based on our race, gender, sexuality, and other parts of our identities, being told by others how we should behave, who we should date, or what we should be interested in. For so many of us, those boxes begin to feel like shackles when we realize they don’t fit our unique shape, yet we keep trying because we crave acceptance and validation. But is “fitting in” worth the time, energy, and suffering? Actor, writer, and activist Brandon Kyle Goodman says, Hell no it ain’t!            As a Black nonbinary, queer person in a dark-skinned 6’1”, 180-pound male body born into a religious immigrant household, Brandon knows the pain of having to hide one’s true self, the work of learning to love that true self, and the freedom of finally being your true self.In You Gotta Be You, Brandon affectionately challenges you to consider, “Who would I be if society never got its hands on me?” This question set Brandon on a mission to dropkick societal shackles by unlearning all the things he was told he should be in order to step into who he really is. It required him to reexamine messy but ultimately defining moments in his life—his first time being followed in a store, navigating his mother’s born-again Christian faith, and regretfully using soap as lube (yes, you read that right!)—to find the lessons that would guide him to his most authentic self.            Compassionate and soulful, funny and revealing, You Gotta Be You is an unapologetic call to self-freedom. It’s about turning rejection (from others and yourself) into a roadmap to self-love. It’s a guide to setting boundaries and fostering self-growth.

Vollmann Narrator: Paul Heitsch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 21 minutes Release date: July 12, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In this landmark collection, William T. Vollmann offers a kaleidoscopic retrospective of the visual artwork he has produced over four decades, with new commentary from Vollmann on his process, inspiration, and the many intersections with his writing. The celebrated author of over twenty-five books (among them the National Book Award–winning novel Europe Central; the seven-volume Rising Up and Rising Down, based on Vollmann's career as a war correspondent; and the two-volume climate change investigation Carbon Ideologies), Vollmann's equally ambitious and prolific career as a photographer, printmaker, and painter reflects the artist’s deep interest in people existing on the margins, a profound empathy for his subjects, and the humility and generosity to meet them on their terms. In Shadows of Love, Shadows of Loneliness, a series of essays commissioned especially for this book lays out Vollmann's views on what photographs can and should say, how he chooses what to represent (beauty, suffering, compassion, love, desire, ideology), thoughts on photographic consensuality, and any number of technical descriptions. Particularly useful for Vollmann fans and scholars are the cross-references between these artistic and photographic projects and his books.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506180Tue, 12 Jul 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506180 to listen full audiobooks.

Greg Ginn started SST Records in the sleepy beach town of Hermosa Beach, CA, to supply ham radio enthusiasts with tuners and transmitters. But when Ginn wanted to launch his band, Black Flag, no one was willing to take them on. Determined to bring his music to the masses, Ginn turned SST into a record label. On the back of Black Flag’s relentless touring, guerilla marketing, and refusal to back down, SST became the sound of the underground. In Corporate Rock Sucks, music journalist Jim Ruland relays the unvarnished story of SST Records, from its remarkable rise in notoriety to its infamous downfall. With records by Black Flag, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, Bad Brains, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, and scores of obscure yet influential bands, SST was the most popular indie label by the mid-80s--until a tsunami of legal jeopardy, financial peril, and dysfunctional management brought the empire tumbling down.

In 1934, a friend brought fledgling actress Vivien Leigh to see Theatre Royal, where she would first lay eyes on Laurence Olivier in his brilliant performance as Anthony Cavendish. That night, she confided to a friend, he was the man she was going to marry. There was just one problem: she was already married—and so was he. TRULY, MADLY is the biography of a marriage, a love affair that still captivates millions, even decades after both actors' deaths. Vivien and Larry were two of the first truly global celebrities – their fame fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television, which helped and hurt them in equal measure. They seemed to have it all and yet, in their own minds, they were doomed, blighted by her long-undiagnosed mental-illness, which transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare. Through new research, including exclusive access to previously unpublished correspondence and interviews with their friends and family, author Stephen Galloway takes readers on a bewitching journey.

Title: A Bit of Me: From Basildon to Broadway, and back Author: Denise Van Outen Narrator: Denise Van Outen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 27 minutes Release date: March 17, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Denise Van Outen, original 90s 'ladette', West End star and primetime TV favourite, reveals for the first time the true story of grit and graft beneath the famous Essex sparkle. In this refreshingly candid memoir, Denise speaks openly and sensitively about her rollercoaster career, her struggles in a past high-profile relationship and the betrayal she suffered at the hands of those once closest to her, with the hope that in doing so, she can help empower others to avoid and overcome similar difficulties. Denise shot to fame on The Big Breakfast in her early twenties. After a decade grafting through lower-profile TV work, she was finally living the dream. However her life soon turned into a nightmare off-screen and behind the headlines as her heart was broken in a very public relationship, whilst her every move was printed in the tabloids thanks to her phone being tapped. Eventually she accepted an offer to play Roxie in Chicago which turned out to be life-changing. The role took her to Broadway, where she caught the eye of one Andrew Lloyd Webber, eventually landing a judging role on Any Dream Will Do, which saw her rise back to primetime and the career that she loves, where she has stayed and flourished. Now, in her first memoir, Denise tells her story with disarming candour, unafraid to reveal vulnerabilities beneath the cheerful exterior. Tackling difficult subjects of corrosive self-doubt, betrayal, invasions of privacy and professional struggles, interjected with the familiar humour that we all know and love, A Bit of Me is personal, at times raw, often mischievous and always compelling. Denise has lived the life, learned the lessons, and Basildon to Broadway and back is a hell of a journey. © Denise Van Outen 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/519302Thu, 17 Mar 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/519302 to listen full audiobooks.

And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations—with a side-trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him—it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Bob embraced a life in comedy after a chance meeting with Second City’s legendary Del Close. He somehow made his way to a job as a writer at Saturday Night Live. While surviving that legendary gauntlet by the skin of his gnashing teeth, he stashed away the secrets of comedy writing—eventually employing them in the immortal “Motivational Speaker” sketch for Chris Farley, honing them on The Ben Stiller Show, and perfecting them on Mr. Show with Bob and David. In Hollywood, Bob demonstrated a bullheadedness that would shame Sisyphus himself, and when all hope was lost for the umpteenth time, the phone rang with an offer to appear on Breaking Bad—a show about how boring it is to be a high school chemistry teacher. His embrace of this strange new world of dramatic acting led him to working with Steven Spielberg, Alexander Payne, and Greta Gerwig, and then, in a twist that will confound you, he re-re-invented himself as a bona fide action star.

Title: Are You Really OK?: Understanding Britain’s Mental Health Emergency Author: Stacey Dooley Narrator: Stacey Dooley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: February 3, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. We are not OK... I've been fortunate enough to meet many remarkable people over the last decade of making documentaries - sometimes in incredibly hostile environments, where they've been really up against it - and I've seen the devastating effect that poverty, trauma, violence, abuse, stigma, stress, prejudice and discrimination can have on people's mental health. It has always been the common thread. Every week, 1 in 10 young people in the UK experiences symptoms of a common mental health problem, such as anxiety or depression, and 1 in 5 have considered taking their own life at some point. In this book, Stacey Dooley opens up the conversation about mental health in young people, to challenge the stigma and stereotypes around it. Working in collaboration with mental health experts and charities, Stacey talks to young people across the UK directly affected by mental health issues, and helps tell their stories responsibly, in order to shine a light on life on the mental health frontline and give a voice to young people throughout the UK who are living with mental health conditions across the spectrum. As well as hearing about their experiences directly, Stacey speaks to medical experts, counsellors, campaigners and health practitioners who can give detailed insights into the conditions profiled and explore the environmental factors that play a part - including poverty, addiction, identity, pressures of social media and the impact of Covid-19. © Stacey Dooley 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520270Thu, 03 Feb 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520270 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Endless Endless: A Lo-Fi History of the Elephant 6 Mystery Author: Adam Clair Narrator: Cassandra Medcalf, Landon Woodson, Noah Michael Levine Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 7 minutes Release date: February 1, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: An inspiring, revelatory exploration of the genesis and impact of the fabled Elephant 6 collective and the baffling exodus of its larger-than-life luminary, Neutral Milk Hotel frontman Jeff Mangum   Years after its release, Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over the Sea remains one of the most beloved and best-selling albums in all of indie music, hailed as a classic so influential as to be almost synonymous with the ongoing vinyl revival. But despite its outsized impact, a question looms even larger: why did frontman Jeff Mangum, just as the record propelled him to the brink of music superstardom, choose instead to disappear entirely? The mystery has perplexed listeners for decades—until now.   In barely two years, Neutral Milk Hotel rose from house show obscurity in Athens, Georgia, to widespread hype and critical acclaim, selling out rock clubs across the country and gracing the tops of numerous year-end best-of lists. But just as his band was reaching the escape velocity necessary to ascend from indie rock success to mainstream superstar, Mangum hit the eject button. After the 1998 release of Aeroplane and a worldwide tour to support it, Mangum stopped playing shows, releasing new music, or even doing interviews. He never explained why, not even to his friends or colleagues, but thanks to both the strength of Aeroplane and his vexing decision to walk away from rock stardom, Neutral Milk Hotel’s impact only grew from there. In Endless Endless, Adam Clair finds the answer to indie rock’s biggest mystery, which turns out to be much more complicated and fascinating than the myths or popular speculation would have you believe. To understand Mangum and Neutral Milk Hotel and Aeroplane requires a deep dive into the unconventional inner workings of the mercurial collective from which they emerged, the legendary Elephant 6 Recording Company. Endless Endless details the rise and fall of this radical music scene, the lives and relationships of the artists involved and the colossal influence that still radiates from it, centered around the collective’s accidental figurehead, one of the most idolized and misunderstood artists in the world, presenting Mangum and his collaborators in vividly human detail and shining a light into the secret world of these extraordinary and aggressively bizarre artists. In this deeply researched account, Endless Endless examines not just how the Elephant 6 came to be so much more than the sum of its parts, but how community can foster art—and how art can build community.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/519872Tue, 01 Feb 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/519872 to listen full audiobooks.

Merle Haggard was one of the most important country music musicians who ever lived. His astonishing musical career stretched across the second half of the 20th Century and into the first two decades of the next, during which he released an extraordinary 63 albums, 38 that made it on to Billboard's Country Top Ten, 13 that went to #1, and 37 #1 hit singles. With his ample songbook, unique singing voice and brilliant phrasing that illuminated his uncompromising commitment to individual freedom, cut with the monkey of personal despair on his back and a chip the size of Monument Valley on his shoulder, Merle's music and his extraordinary charisma helped change the look, the sound, and the fury of American music. The Hag tells, without compromise, the extraordinary life of Merle Haggard, augmented by deep secondary research, sharp detail and ample anecdotal material that biographer Marc Eliot is known for, and enriched and deepened by over 100 new and far-ranging interviews. It explores the uniquely American life of an angry rebellious boy from the wrong side of the tracks bound for a life of crime and a permanent home in a penitentiary, who found redemption through the music of "the common man." Merle Haggard's story is a great American saga of a man who lifted himself out of poverty, oppression, loss and wanderlust, to catapult himself into the pantheon of American artists admired around the world. Eliot has interviewed more than 100 people who knew Haggard, worked with him, were influenced by him, loved him or hated him. The book celebrates the accomplishments and explore the singer's infamous dark side: the self-created turmoil that expressed itself through drugs, women, booze, and betrayal.

Julia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Over the first half of the 20th century, she left an indelible mark on the American West. Of her remarkable 700 creations, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. Morgan spent thirty years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst—forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together, they built a spectacular and unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. This compelling biography draws on interviews, letters, and Morgan's diaries, including never-before-seen reflections on faith, art, and her life experiences. Morgan's friendship with Hearst, her passion for California's landscape, her struggles with familial dementia, and her devotion to architecture reveal her to have been a singularly brilliant and determined artist. PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED CONTENT: Victoria Kastner has spent years compiling photographs, interviews, letters, drawings, and diaries—including material never published before—to create the first truly comprehensive portrait of this amazing woman. OVER 150 PHOTOGRAPHS: This book features over 150 photographs, printed throughout the text. These include both fascinating archival images and beautiful, full-color contemporary shots of Morgan's buildings. INSPIRING STORY: By exploring both Morgan's work and her life, Kastner weaves a captivating tale about courage, vision, and resilience. Julia Morgan forged a path for herself against the odds, and her story will inspire contemporary women and creatives. ARCHITECTURAL ICON: Julia Morgan created 700 buildings during her career, from hotels to churches to private homes. Born in San Francisco and trained in Paris, she developed a distinctive aesthetic that now defines certain regions of California.

Title: Julia Morgan: An Intimate Biography of the Trailblazing Architect Author: Victoria Kastner Narrator: Victoria Kastner, Cindy Kay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 10 minutes Release date: January 18, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: This new biography—featuring over 150 archival images and full-color photographs printed throughout—introduces Julia Morgan as both a pioneering architect and a captivating individual. Julia Morgan was a lifelong trailblazer. She was the first woman admitted to study architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the first licensed to practice architecture in California. Over the first half of the 20th century, she left an indelible mark on the American West. Of her remarkable 700 creations, the most iconic is Hearst Castle. Morgan spent thirty years constructing this opulent estate on the California coast for the newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst—forging a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with him. Together, they built a spectacular and unequalled residence that once hosted the biggest stars of Hollywood's golden age, and that now welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. This compelling biography draws on interviews, letters, and Morgan's diaries, including never-before-seen reflections on faith, art, and her life experiences. Morgan's friendship with Hearst, her passion for California's landscape, her struggles with familial dementia, and her devotion to architecture reveal her to have been a singularly brilliant and determined artist. PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED CONTENT: Victoria Kastner has spent years compiling photographs, interviews, letters, drawings, and diaries—including material never published before—to create the first truly comprehensive portrait of this amazing woman. OVER 150 PHOTOGRAPHS: This book features over 150 photographs, printed throughout the text. These include both fascinating archival images and beautiful, full-color contemporary shots of Morgan's buildings. INSPIRING STORY: By exploring both Morgan's work and her life, Kastner weaves a captivating tale about courage, vision, and resilience. Julia Morgan forged a path for herself against the odds, and her story will inspire contemporary women and creatives. ARCHITECTURAL ICON: Julia Morgan created 700 buildings during her career, from hotels to churches to private homes. Born in San Francisco and trained in Paris, she developed a distinctive aesthetic that now defines certain regions of California. But only in the last twenty years has her contribution to architecture been fully recognized and celebrated. In 2014, the American Institute of Architects' posthumously awarded her its Gold Medal; she was the first female recipient. Perfect for: • History buffs • Students, enthusiasts, and professional architects • Aspiring creatives in all fields • Feminists seeking role models • Visitors to Hearst Castle and Morgan's other buildings • Californians and visitors to California]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/things-i-should-have-said-by-jamie-lynn-spears--65315668https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513600 to listen full audiobooks.

You’ve read the headlines, but you don’t know Jamie Lynn Spears. The world first met Jamie Lynn as a child star, when it was her job to perform, both on set and for the press. She spent years escaping into different characters—on All That, Zoey 101, and even in the role as Britney’s kid sister. But as she grew up, faced a teen pregnancy, raised her daughter on her own, pursued a career, and learned to stand on her own two feet, the real Jamie Lynn started to take center stage - a raw, blemished, and imperfect woman, standing in her own power. Despite growing up in one of America's most tabloid-famous families, Jamie Lynn has never told her story in her own words. In Things I Should Have Said, she talks frankly about the highs and lows, sharing what it was like traveling the world as a kid, how she moved into acting and performing herself, what life as a child star took from her, and the life-changing reality of becoming a teen mom. She talks about how she finally found love and how the mistakes she has made have taught her more than anything else. She also shares vulnerably about how the ATV accident that nearly took her daughter's life brought her back to her faith and caused her to reevaluate and redirect her life. Frank, courageous, and inspiring, Things I Should Have Said is a portrait of a wife, momma, sister, daughter, actress, and musician doing the best she could to show up for herself and teach her daughters to have the courage to love every part of themselves, too.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513600Tue, 18 Jan 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513600 to listen full audiobooks.

As people look to the arts to promote a particular ideology, whether radical, liberal, or conservative, Jed Perl argues that the arts have their own laws and logic, which transcend the controversies of any one moment. “Art’s relevance,” he writes, “has everything to do with what many regard as its irrelevance.” Authority and Freedom will find readers from college classrooms to foundation board meetings—wherever the arts are confronting social, political, and economic ferment and heated debates about political correctness and cancel culture.   Perl embraces the work of creative spirits as varied as Mozart, Michelangelo, Jane Austen, Henry James, Picasso, and Aretha Franklin. He contends that the essence of the arts is their ability to free us from fixed definitions and categories. Art is inherently uncategorizable—that’s the key to its importance. Taking his stand with artists and thinkers ranging from W. H. Auden to Hannah Arendt, Perl defends works of art as adventuresome dialogues, simultaneously dispassionate and impassioned. He describes the fundamental sense of vocation—the engagement with the tools and traditions of a medium—that gives artists their purpose and focus. Whether we’re experiencing a poem, a painting, or an opera, it’s the interplay between authority and freedom—what Perl calls “the lifeblood of the arts”—that fuels the imaginative experience. This book will be essential reading for everybody who cares about the future of the arts in a democratic society.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/517839Tue, 11 Jan 2022 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/517839 to listen full audiobooks.

He has played for presidents, kings, and queens, as well as for civil rights and cultural organizations. But in 2013, Duchin suffered a stroke that left him with limited use of his left hand, severely impacting his career. Days of recuperating from his stroke—and later from a critical case of Covid-19—inspired Duchin to reconsider his complicated past. His father, the legendary bandleader Eddy Duchin, died when Peter was twelve; his mother, Marjorie Oelrichs Duchin, died when he was just six days old. In the succeeding decades, Duchin would follow his father to become the epitome of mid-20th Century glamour. But it was only half a century later, in the aftermath of his sudden illnesses, that he began to see his mother and father not just as the parents he never had, but as the people he never got to know; and at the same time, to reconsider the milieu in which he has been both a symbol and a participant. More than a memoir, Face the Music offers a window into the era of debutantes and white-tie balls, when such events made national headlines. Duchin explores what “glamour” and “society” once meant, and what they mean now. With sincerity and humor, Face the Music offers a moving portrait of an extraordinary life, its disruptions, and revitalization.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/508697Tue, 07 Dec 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/508697 to listen full audiobooks.

Anyone who has seen Sharon Gless act in Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk, Burn Notice, and countless other shows and movies, knows that she’s someone who gives every role her all. She holds nothing back in Apparently There Were Complaints, a hilarious, deeply personal memoir that spills all about Gless’s five decades in Hollywood. A fifth-generation Californian, Sharon Gless knew from a young age that she wanted to be an actress. After some rocky teenage years that included Sharon’s parents’ divorce and some minor (and not-so-minor) rebellion, Gless landed a coveted spot as an exclusive contract player for Universal Studios. In 1982, she stepped into the role of New York Police Detective Christine Cagney for the series Cagney & Lacey, which eventually reached an audience of 30 million weekly viewers and garnered Gless with two Emmy Awards. The show made history as the first hour-long drama to feature two women in the leading roles. Gless continued to make history long after Cagney & Lacey was over. In 2000, she took on the role of outrageous Debbie Novotny in Queer as Folk. Her portrayal of a devoted mother to a gay son and confidant to his gay friends touched countless hearts and changed the definition of family for millions of viewers. Apparently There Were Complaints delves into Gless’s remarkable career and explores Gless’s complicated family, her struggles with alcoholism, and her fear of romantic commitment as well as her encounters with some of Hollywood’s biggest names.

Title: Garbo Author: Robert Gottlieb Narrator: Maria Tucci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 21 minutes Release date: December 7, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Award-winning master critic Robert Gottlieb takes a singular and multifaceted look at the life of silver screen legend Greta Garbo, and the culture that worshiped her. “Wherever you look in the period between 1925 and 1941,” Robert Gottlieb writes in Garbo, “Greta Garbo is in people’s minds, hearts, and dreams.” Strikingly glamorous and famously inscrutable, she managed, in sixteen short years, to infiltrate America’s subconscious; her decision to suddenly end her film career at the age of thirty-six only made her more irresistible. Garbo appeared in only twenty-four movies, yet her impact on the world―and that indescribable, transcendent presence she possessed―was rivaled only by Marilyn Monroe. She was a phenomenon, a Sphinx, a myth, but also a Swedish peasant girl, uneducated, naïve, and always on her guard. In Garbo, acclaimed critic and editor Robert Gottlieb attempts to capture the ever-elusive essence of Garbo through the eyes of others: in addition to a vivid and thorough retelling of her life, Gottlieb combs through glimpses of Garbo in literature, music, private letters, and, of course, films, in order to better understand her.

Title: Garbo Author: Robert Gottlieb Narrator: Maria Tucci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 21 minutes Release date: December 7, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Award-winning master critic Robert Gottlieb takes a singular and multifaceted look at the life of silver screen legend Greta Garbo, and the culture that worshiped her. “Wherever you look in the period between 1925 and 1941,” Robert Gottlieb writes in Garbo, “Greta Garbo is in people’s minds, hearts, and dreams.” Strikingly glamorous and famously inscrutable, she managed, in sixteen short years, to infiltrate America’s subconscious; her decision to suddenly end her film career at the age of thirty-six only made her more irresistible. Garbo appeared in only twenty-four movies, yet her impact on the world―and that indescribable, transcendent presence she possessed―was rivaled only by Marilyn Monroe. She was a phenomenon, a Sphinx, a myth, but also a Swedish peasant girl, uneducated, naïve, and always on her guard. In Garbo, acclaimed critic and editor Robert Gottlieb attempts to capture the ever-elusive essence of Garbo through the eyes of others: in addition to a vivid and thorough retelling of her life, Gottlieb combs through glimpses of Garbo in literature, music, private letters, and, of course, films, in order to better understand her. Discovering her within Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls and in the letters of Marianne Moore, and following her from her early movies with MGM to her career-defining, Academy Award-nominated role in Camille to her world-stopping decision to leave the limelight, Gottlieb crafts a biography of unprecedented intimacy and scope in the hopes of capturing the woman that only the camera knew.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-pursuit-of-porsha-how-i-grew-into-my-power-and-purpose-by-porsha-williams--65315775https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506159 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Audience-ology: How Moviegoers Shape the Films We Love Author: Kevin Goetz Narrator: Kevin Goetz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 2 minutes Release date: November 30, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Discover the fascinating and secretive process of audience testing of Hollywood movies through these firsthand stories from famous filmmakers, studio heads, and stars. Audience-ology takes you to one of the most unknown places in Hollywood—a place where famous directors are reduced to tears and multi-millionaire actors to fits of rage. A place where dreams are made and fortunes are lost. From “the best in the business” (Sacha Baron Cohen), this book is the chronicle of how real people have written and rewritten America’s cinematic masterpieces by showing up, watching a rough cut of a new film, and giving their unfettered opinions so that directors and studios can salvage their blunders, or better yet, turn their movies into all-time classics. Each chapter informs an aspect or two of the test-screening process and then, through behind-the-scenes stories, illustrates how that particular aspect was carried out. Nicknamed “the doctor of audience-ology,” Kevin Goetz shares how he helped filmmakers and movie execs confront the misses and how he recommended ways to fix the blockbusters, as well as first-hand accounts from Ron Howard, Cameron Crowe, Ed Zwick, Renny Harlin, Jason Blum, and other Hollywood luminaries who brought you such films as La La Land, Chicago, Titanic, Wedding Crashers, Jaws, and Forrest Gump.

Legendary wordsmith Raekwon the Chef opens up about his journey from the staircases of Park Hill in Staten Island to sold-out stadiums around the world with Wu-Tang Clan in this revealing memoir—perfect for fans of The Autobiography of Gucci Mane and Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter. There are rappers who everyone loves and there are rappers who every rapper loves, and Corey Woods, a.k.a. Raekwon the Chef, is one of the few who is both. His versatile flow, natural storytelling, and evocative imagery have inspired legions of fans and a new generation of rappers. Raekwon is one of the founding members of Wu-Tang Clan, and his voice and cadence are synonymous with the sound that has made the group iconic since 1991. Now, for the first time, Raekwon tells his whole story, from struggling through poverty in order to make ends meet to turning a hobby into a legacy. The Wu-Tang tale is dense, complex, and full of drama, and here nothing is off-limits: the group’s origins, secrets behind songs like “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Protect Ya Neck,” and what it took to be one of the first hip-hop groups to go from the underground to the mainstream. Raekwon also delves deep into the making of his meticulous solo albums—particularly the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx—and talks about how spirituality and fatherhood continue to inspire his unstoppable creative process.

Get the kettle on, the biscuits out and settle in for a belting read. Paddy McGuinness is a much-loved presence on British TV. His stand-up tours sell out across the country. His acting roles are legendary, from Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy to The Keith and Paddy Picture Show. How did all start? Let Paddy take you back to a two-up, two-down terrace in 1970's Bolton, where his lifey began. He grew up alone with his beloved mum, neighbourhood matriarch Pat, who worked two jobs, as a barmaid and a cleaner, always keeping food on the table at home and almost always keeping her tearaway teen out of trouble. The road from kipping in abandoned cars with his mates in Bolton to racing supercars on Top Gear has been eventful, with multiple turning points, including formative hard graft as a labourer, running a Viagra racket at a health centre, a showbiz intervention by schoolfriend Peter Kay and eye-popping adventures in the world of teledom. While he may have swapped cobbles in Bolton for red carpets in London, Paddy has always stayed true to his Lancashire roots, and here he tells his story for the first time, in his own unmistakable style. He lived it. He's written in. It's his lifey - fast-paced, funny and full of character, just like him. © Paddy McGuinness 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506586Thu, 18 Nov 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506586 to listen full audiobooks.

In the years before the pandemic, the restaurant business was booming. Americans spent more than half of their annual food budgets dining out. In a generation, chefs had gone from behind-the-scenes laborers to TV stars. The arrival of Uber Eats, DoorDash, and other meal delivery apps was overtaking home cooking.

In his debut memoir Beaumonster, Dayton reveals the stranger-than-fiction encounters and outlandish experiences that have ensued across his wide-ranging career. After sneaking into night clubs to play gigs in his youth, eighteen-year-old Dayton and his trio began packing clubs and theaters across Houston, Dallas, and Austin. His first solo record which featured great luminaries like Doug Sahm, Flaco Jiménez, and Johnny Gimble, hit number one on the Americana radio charts and then he was off to the races— touring the world solo and with punk legends Social Distortion and the Supersuckers. While doing press in Nashville, he caught the attention of Waylon Jennings and was whisked off to Woodland Studios, where he was greeted by none other than Johnny Cash, who told Dayton, “We’ve been waiting for you.”   Since then, Dayton’s ride across the entertainment industry, traversing genres and formats, has only gotten wilder.

Title: Space Is the Place: The Lives and Times of Sun Ra Author: John Szwed Narrator: Leon Nixon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 9, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Considered by many to be a founder of Afrofuturism, Sun Ra—aka Herman Blount—was a composer, keyboardist, bandleader, philosopher, entrepreneur, poet, and self-proclaimed extraterrestrial from Saturn. He recorded over 200 albums with his Arkestra, which, dressed in Egypto-space costumes, played everything from boogie-woogie and swing to fusion and free jazz.

Rock star. Whatever that term means to you, chances are it owes a debt to Led Zeppelin. No one before or since has lived the dream quite like Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. In Led Zeppelin, Bob Spitz takes their full measure, separating myth from reality with his trademark connoisseurship and storytelling flair. From the opening notes of their first album, the band announced itself as something different, a collision of grand artistic ambition and brute primal force, of English folk music and African American blues. Spitz’s account of their artistic journey, amid the fascinating ecosystem of popular music, is irresistible. But the music is only part of the legend: Led Zeppelin is also the story of how the sixties became the seventies, of how innocence became decadence, of how rock took over. Led Zeppelin wasn’t the first band to let loose on the road, but as with everything else, they took it to an entirely new level. Not all the legends are true, but in Spitz’s careful accounting, what is true is astonishing and sometimes disturbing. Led Zeppelin gave no quarter, and neither has Bob Spitz.

Title: Workhorse: My Sublime and Absurd Years in New York City's Restaurant Scene Author: Kim Reed Narrator: Kim Reed Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: November 9, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A razor-sharp look at one woman’s nearly two decades in the New York City restaurant, including her time working with Joe Bastianich, and what happens when your job consumes your life. ​ By day, Kim Reed was a social worker to the homebound elderly in Brooklyn Heights. By night, she scrambled into Manhattan to hostess at Babbo, where even the Pope would have had trouble scoring a reservation, and A-list celebrities squeezed through the jam-packed entryway like everyone else. Despite her whirlwind fifteen-hour workdays, Kim remained up to her eyeballs in grad school debt. Her training—problem solving, crisis intervention, dealing with unpredictable people and random situations—made her the ideal assistant for the volatile Joe Bastianich, a hard-partying, “What's next?” food and wine entrepreneur. He rose to fame in Italy as a TV star while Kim planned parties, fielded calls, and negotiated deals from two phones on the go.   Decadent food, summers in Milan, and a reservation racket that paid in designer bags and champagne were fun only inasmuch as they filled the void left by being always on call and on edge. In a blink, the years passed, and one day Kim looked up and realized that everything she wanted beyond her job—friends, a relationship, a family, a weekend without twenty ominous emails dropping into her inbox—was out of reach. Workhorse is a deep-dive into coming of age in the chaos of New York City’s foodie craze and an all-too-relatable look at what happens when your job takes over your identity, and when a scandal upends your understanding of where you work and what you do.. After spending years making the impossible possible for someone else, Kim realized she had to do the same for herself.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506158Tue, 09 Nov 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506158 to listen full audiobooks.

Read by the author. We live in a world of noise where everyone is so quick to speak. When we slow down and give someone our full attention, we offer them a safe place to be fully heard and accepted. Hear’s the Thing is a story about what is possible when someone is brave enough to listen to others… and, ultimately, themselves without judgement. For Cody Alan, one of country music’s most famous on-air radio and TV personalities, listening to other people has always been a crucial part of his role. It was by fostering his ability to hear others that he discovered the person he most needed to listen to was himself. Listening ultimately led him on a journey of self-discovery where he found the courage to come out as gay, the openness to question spiritually, and the strength to explore a new definition of parenting and family. In his debut memoir, Hear’s the Thing, Cody shares some of the many lessons he’s learned along the way such as: - How to actively listen with empathy and without judgment - Why a willingness to “let people in” better equips you to receive from others - How genuine attentiveness can help you build healthier and deeper relationships The art of listening is often lost but Cody’s story will inspire you to hear that inner voice that is leading you to a deeper connection with yourself and the people around you.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509696Tue, 09 Nov 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509696 to listen full audiobooks.

Yet however revolutionary his style may have been, it was actually built on a strong foundation of paintings by other artists, both his contemporaries and those who came before him.  Now, drawing on Van Gogh’s own thoughtful and often profound comments about the painters he venerated, Steven Naifeh gives a gripping account of the artist’s deep engagement with their work. We see Van Gogh’s gradual discovery of the subjects he would make famous, from wheat fields to sunflowers. We watch him experimenting with the loose brushwork and bright colors used by Édouard Manet, studying the Pointillist dots used by Georges Seurat, and emulating the powerful depictions of the peasant farmers painted by Jean-François Millet, all vividly illustrated in full-color images of works by Van Gogh and a variety of other major artists. Thanks to the vast correspondence from Van Gogh to his beloved brother, Theo, Naifeh, a Pulitzer Prize winner, is able to reconstruct Van Gogh’s artistic world from within. Observed in eloquent prose that is as compelling as it is authoritative, Van Gogh and the Artists He Loved enables us to share the artist’s journey as he created his own daring, influential, and widely beloved body of work.  This audiobook contains a downloadable PDF of images of selected works of art mentioned in the book.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505645Tue, 02 Nov 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505645 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Talking to Canadians: A Memoir Author: Rick Mercer Narrator: Rick Mercer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 2, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.22 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Canada's beloved comic genius tells his own story for the first time.   What is Rick Mercer going to do now? That was the question on everyone's lips when the beloved comedian retired his hugely successful TV show after 15 seasons—and at the peak of its popularity. The answer came not long after, when he roared back in a new role as stand-up-comedian, playing to sold-out houses wherever he appeared.   And then Covid-19 struck. And his legions of fans began asking again: What is Rick Mercer going to do now? Well, for one thing, he's been writing a comic masterpiece. For the first time, this most private of public figures has turned the spotlight on himself, in a memoir that's as revealing as it is hilarious. In riveting anecdotal style, Rick charts his rise from highly unpromising schoolboy (in his reports 'the word 'disappointment' appeared a fair bit') to the heights of TV fame. Along the way came an amazing break when, not long out of his teens, his one-man show Show Me the Button, I'll Push It. Or, Charles Lynch Must Die, became an overnight sensation—thanks in part to a bizarre ambush by its target, Charles Lynch himself. That's one story you won’t soon forget, and this book is full of them.   There's a tale of how little Rick helped himself to a tree from the neighbours' garden that's set to become a new Christmas classic.

That was the question on everyone's lips when the beloved comedian retired his hugely successful TV show after 15 seasons—and at the peak of its popularity. The answer came not long after, when he roared back in a new role as stand-up-comedian, playing to sold-out houses wherever he appeared.   And then Covid-19 struck. And his legions of fans began asking again: What is Rick Mercer going to do now? Well, for one thing, he's been writing a comic masterpiece. For the first time, this most private of public figures has turned the spotlight on himself, in a memoir that's as revealing as it is hilarious. In riveting anecdotal style, Rick charts his rise from highly unpromising schoolboy (in his reports 'the word 'disappointment' appeared a fair bit') to the heights of TV fame. Along the way came an amazing break when, not long out of his teens, his one-man show Show Me the Button, I'll Push It. Or, Charles Lynch Must Die, became an overnight sensation—thanks in part to a bizarre ambush by its target, Charles Lynch himself. That's one story you won’t soon forget, and this book is full of them.   There's a tale of how little Rick helped himself to a tree from the neighbours' garden that's set to become a new Christmas classic. There's Rick the aspiring actor, braving 'the scariest thing I have ever done in my life' by performing with the Newfoundland Shakespeare Company; unforgettable scenes with politicians of every variety, from Jean Chretien to George W. Bush to Stockwell Day; and a wealth of behind-the-scenes revelations about the origins and making of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Made in Canada, and Talking to Americans.

This audiobook is narrated by Daisy May Cooper and includes an exclusive, bonus interview with Daisy and her Dad, Paul Cooper. The funniest memoir of 2021, written by the most relatable woman in the world - Daisy May Cooper, creator and star of BBC's award-winning comedy This Country. Life hasn't always been straightforward for Daisy May Cooper: growing up in rural poverty in Gloucestershire with her brother Chaz, she had to work a myriad of low-paid and unrewarding jobs just to make ends meet. Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her is the endearingly honest and hilarious memoir from the creator and star of award-winning BBC comedy This Country. When things were really bad, Mum would always say to me: 'Don't worry, it will be a good read for your memoir one day.' 'Mum, I auditioned to be a stripper by snogging a pole and was laughed off the stage by a bunch of topless dancers.' 'Well that can go in the memoir.' 'Mum, I spent all my student loan accidently on a penthouse suite in a fancy hotel in Marble Arch, now I face getting kicked out of drama school.' 'That's a good one for the memoir.' 'Mum, sorry I'm late for dinner, I had to work late at my cleaning job because someone balanced a Quaver packet full of piss on the radiator in the boy's toilets, and I didn't realise until I picked it up, so I had to wash the piss off me in the sink while trying to learn my lines for that Call the Midwife audition I have in London tomorrow.' 'Memoir...' I have lived the most humiliating, ridiculous, screw-up of a life but Mum was right, you've just got to remember, sometimes the worst experiences make the most entertaining stories.

Guy Martin can't sit still. He has to keep pushing - both himself and whatever machine he is piloting - to the extreme. He's a doer, not a talker.

And during his TV adventures, travelling through Japan, winning records for the world's fastest tractor, re-creating the famous Steve McQueen Great Escape jump, discovering the toil and sacrifice of the D-Day landings and trying to cut the mustard as a Battle of Britain pilot. Guy's become a dad now and he's hoping that one day his daughter will grow up to be a better welder than he is.

A wonderful book that is funny, honest, fearless, and generous in its vulnerability.'' —Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain There is absolutely no logical reason why I am here. The life trajectory my nationality and class and circumstances portended for me was not even remotely close to the one I now navigate. But logic is a science and living is an art. The release I felt in writing my first memoir, Not My Father’s Son, was matched only by how my speaking out empowered so many to engage with their own trauma. I was reminded of the power of my words and the absolute duty of authenticity. But… No one ever fully recovers from their past. There is no cure for it. You just learn to manage and prioritize it. I believe the second you feel you have triumphed or overcome something – an abuse, an injury to the body or the mind, an addiction, a character flaw, a habit, a person – you have merely decided to stop being vigilant and embraced denial as your modus operandi. And that is what this book is about, and for: to remind you not to buy in to the Hollywood ending. Ironically maybe, much of Baggage chronicles my life in Hollywood and how, since I recovered from a nervous breakdown at 28, work has repeatedly whisked me away from personal calamities to sets and stages around the world. It is also about marriage(s): starting with the break-up of my first (to a woman) and ending with the ascension to my second (to a man) with many kissed toads in between! But in everything, each failed relationship or encounter with a legend (Liza! X Men! Gore Vidal! Kubrick!

Title: Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli: The Epic Story of the Making of The Godfather Author: Mark Seal Narrator: Phil Thron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 1 minute Release date: October 19, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.86 of Total 7 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: This “wickedly pacey page-turner” (Total Film) unfurls the behind-the-scenes story of the making of The Godfather, fifty years after the classic film’s original release. The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told—sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others to write “the definitive look at the making of an American classic” (Library Journal, starred review). On top of the usual complications of filmmaking, the creators of The Godfather had to contend with the real-life members of its subject matter: the Mob. During production of the movie, location permits were inexplicably revoked, author Mario Puzo got into a public brawl with an irate Frank Sinatra, producer Al Ruddy’s car was found riddled with bullets, men with “connections” vied to be in the cast, and some were given film roles. As Seal notes, this is the tale of a “movie that revolutionized filmmaking, saved Paramount Pictures, minted a new generation of movie stars, made its struggling author Mario Puzo rich and famous, and sparked a war between two of the mightiest powers in America: the sharks of Hollywood and the highest echelons of the Mob.” “For fans of books about moviemaking, this is a definite must-read” (Booklist).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/503810Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/503810 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Time Between: My Life as a Byrd, Burrito Brother, and Beyond Author: Chris Hillman Narrator: Chris Hillman, Dwight Yoakam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 18 minutes Release date: October 19, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: As a co-founder of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, Chris Hillman is arguably the primary architect of what’s come to be known as country rock. He went on to record and perform in various configurations, including as a member of Stephen Stills’s Manassas and as a co-founder of The Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. In the 1980s he formed The Desert Rose Band, scoring eight Top 10 Billboard country hits. He’s released a number of solo efforts, including 2017’s highly acclaimed Bidin’ My Time—the final album produced by the late Tom Petty. In Time Between, Hillman shares his quintessentially Southern Californian experience, from an idyllic, rural 1950s childhood; to achieving worldwide fame thanks to hits such as “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Turn! Turn! Turn!” and “Eight Miles High”; to becoming the first musician to move to Laurel Canyon. Featuring behind-the-scenes insights on his time in The Byrds, his productive but sometimes complicated relationship with Gram Parsons, his role in launching the careers of Buffalo Springfield and Emmylou Harris, and the ups and downs of life in various bands, music is only part of his story. Within Time Between, Hillman reveals the details of his personal life with candor and vulnerability, speaking honestly about the shocking tragedy that struck his family when he was a teenager, his subsequent struggles with anger, and how his spiritual journey led him to a place of deep faith that allowed him to extend forgiveness and experience wholeness. As Time Between shows, Chris Hillman is much more than a rock star. He is truly a founding father of American music and a man who has faced down the challenges of life to discover what really matters.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512827Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512827 to listen full audiobooks.

With more than fifty million followers on social media; invitations to glamorous events around the world; awards, magazine covers, and even her own makeup line—Avani Gregg never imagined this wild ride for herself. After all, she was just from a small town, spending her time hanging with friends and family and combing thrift-store racks for finds. It only took one video—her famous “Clown Girl Check”—and she suddenly found herself vibing as one of the original Hype House creators. “People think I exploded overnight,” the eighteen-year-old TikTok sensation says. “But they don’t know the half of it. They don’t know what came before or after. They don’t know my Backstory.” In this eye-opening memoir, Avani shares the ups and down of her remarkable life, including the devastating back injury that forced her to retire from gymnastics and abandon her dreams of Olympic gold.

With more than fifty million followers on social media; invitations to glamorous events around the world; awards, magazine covers, and even her own makeup line—Avani Gregg never imagined this wild ride for herself. After all, she was just from a small town, spending her time hanging with friends and family and combing thrift-store racks for finds. It only took one video—her famous “Clown Girl Check”—and she suddenly found herself vibing as one of the original Hype House creators. “People think I exploded overnight,” the eighteen-year-old TikTok sensation says. “But they don’t know the half of it. They don’t know what came before or after. They don’t know my Backstory.” In this eye-opening memoir, Avani shares the ups and down of her remarkable life, including the devastating back injury that forced her to retire from gymnastics and abandon her dreams of Olympic gold. In the aftermath, struggling to make sense of it all, she found her calling: creating jaw-droppingly dramatic makeup looks on social media that leave her “Bebs” begging for more.

Title: Bessie Smith: A Poet's Biography of a Blues Legend Author: Jackie Kay Narrator: Jackie Kay, Adjoa Andoh Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 24 minutes Release date: September 28, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A beautiful genre-bending tribute to the larger-than-life blues singer Bessie Smith. Scotland’s National Poet blends poetry, prose, fiction, and nonfiction to create an entirely unique biography of the Empress of the Blues. There has never been anyone else like Bessie Smith. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1894 and orphaned by the age of nine, Bessie Smith sang on street corners before becoming a big name in traveling shows. In 1923, she made her first recording for the newly founded Columbia Records. It sold 780,000 copies and catapulted her to fame. Known for her unmatched vocal talent, her timeless and personal blues narratives, her tough persona, and her ability to enrapture audiences with her raw voice, the Empress of the Blues remains a force and an enigma.   In this remarkable book, Kay combines history and personal narrative, poetry and prose to create an enthralling account of an extraordinary life, and to capture the soul of the woman she first identified with as a young Black girl growing up in Glasgow. Powerful and moving, Bessie Smith is at once a vivid biography of a central figure in American music history and a personal story about one woman’s search for recognition.   A VINTAGE ORIGINAL.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509087Tue, 28 Sep 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509087 to listen full audiobooks.

One most famous for having written Citizen Kane (with Orson Welles, as most recently portrayed in David Fincher's acclaimed Netflix film, Mank); the other, All About Eve; one, who only wrote screenplays but believed himself to be a serious playwright, slowly dying of alcoholism and disappointment; the other, a four-time Academy Award-winning director, auteur, sorcerer, and seducer of leading ladies, one of Hollywood's most literate and intelligent filmmakers.   Herman Mankiewicz brought us the Marx Brothers' Monkey Business, Horse Feathers, Duck Soup, W. C. Fields's Million Dollar Legs, wrote screenplays for Dinner at Eight, Pride of the Yankees, cowrote Citizen Kane (Pauline Kael proclaimed that the script was mostly Herman's), and eighty-nine others . . . Talented, witty (Alexander Woollcott thought him 'the funniest man who ever lived,'), huge-hearted, wildly immature, a figure of renown and success. Herman went to Hollywood in 1926, was almost immediately successful (his telegram to Hecht back east: 'MILLIONS ARE TO BE GRABBED OUT HERE AND YOUR ONLY COMPETITION IS IDIOTS.

From getting up to no good as a teenager to his many musical (mis)adventures in the 1970s, Lee's memoir of his formative years captures his enduring love for his north London stomping ground, where he first met the other members of Madness. This is a story of growing up in a certain time and place when anything felt possible, even a bunch of north London lads forming a ska revival band—and becoming one of Britain's best-loved groups.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/england-s-dreaming-the-sex-pistols-and-punk-rock-by-jon-savage--65315619https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521338 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Mae West: An Icon in Black and White Author: Jill Watts Narrator: Holly Palance Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" Mae West invited and promptly captured the imagination of generations. Even today, years after her death, the actress and author is still regarded as the pop archetype of sexual wantonness and ribald humor. But who was this saucy starlet, a woman who was controversial enough to be jailed, pursued by film censors and banned from the airwaves for the revolutionary content of her work, and yet would ascend to the status of film legend? Sifting through previously untapped sources, author Jill Watts unravels the enigmatic life of Mae West, tracing her early years spent in the Brooklyn subculture of boxers and underworld figures, and follows her journey through burlesque, vaudeville, Broadway and, finally, Hollywood, where she quickly became one of the big screen's most popular--and colorful--stars. Exploring West's penchant for contradiction and her carefully perpetuated paradoxes, Watts convincingly argues that Mae West borrowed heavily from African American culture, music, dance and humor, creating a subversive voice for herself by which she artfully challenged society and its assumptions regarding race, class and gender. Viewing West as a trickster, Watts demonstrates that by appropriating for her character the black tradition of double-speak and "signifying," West also may have hinted at her own African-American ancestry and the phenomenon of a black woman passing for white. This absolutely fascinating study is the first comprehensive, interpretive account of Mae West's life and work. It reveals a beloved icon as a radically subversive artist consciously creating her own complex image.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505884Tue, 17 Aug 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/505884 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Hidden Heritage: Rediscovering Britain’s Lost Love of the Orient Author: Fatima Manji Narrator: Fatima Manji Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: August 12, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. A vital new perspective on British history from award-winning broadcaster Fatima Manji Why was there a Turkish mosque adorning Britain's most famous botanic garden in in the eighteenth century? And more importantly, why is it no longer there? How did one of the great symbols of an Indian king's power, a pair of Persian-inscribed cannon, end up in rural Wales? And who is the Moroccan man that stole British hearts depicted in a long forgotten portrait hanging in a west London stately home? Throughout Britain's galleries and museums, civic buildings and stately homes, relics can be found that beg these questions and more. They point to a more complex national history than is commonly remembered. These objects, lost, concealed or simply overlooked, expose the diversity of pre-twentieth-century Britain and the misconceptions around modern immigration narratives. Hidden Heritage powerfully recontextualises the relationship between Britain and the people and societies of the Orient. In her journey across Britain exploring cultural landmarks, Fatima Manji searches for a richer and more honest story of a nation struggling with identity and the legacy of empire.

The Seattle quintet has recorded eleven studio albums; sold some 85 million records; played over a thousand shows, in fifty countries; and had five different albums reach number one. But Pearl Jam's story is about much more than music. A study of their role in history—from Operation Desert Storm to the Dixie Chicks; 'Jeremy' to Columbine; Kurt Cobain to Chris Cornell; Ticketmaster to Trump—Not for You explores the band's origins and evolution over thirty years of American culture. It starts with their founding, and the eruption of grunge, in 1991; continues through their golden age (Vs., Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield); their middle period (Binaural, Riot Act); and the more divisive recent catalog. Along the way, it considers the band's activism, idealism, and impact, from 'W.M.A.' to the Battle of Seattle and Body of War. More than the first critical study, Not for You is a tribute to a famously obsessive fan base, in the spirit of Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch. Partly social history, partly autobiography, and entirely outspoken, discursive, and droll, Not for You is the first full-length treatment of Pearl Jam's odyssey and importance in the culture, from the '90s to the present.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521343Tue, 10 Aug 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521343 to listen full audiobooks.

Behind the hieroglyphics, scribbles and corrections on these priceless pages are clues that, when forensically examined by an expert eye, reveal the extraordinary craft, skill and inventiveness of geniuses such as Beethoven, Handel, Elgar, Stravinsky, Schubert, Puccini, Rachmaninov and Chopin. Accompanied by a team of musical sleuths, including world-leading performers, conductors, writers and graphologists, Frances and Clemency travel the UK, Europe and America to track down these rare and treasured documents. Among their discoveries are the manuscripts for famous songs like 'On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring', and some of the best-loved operas, operettas and musicals of all time including Madame Butterfly, Porgy and Bess, and The Pirates of Penzance. They scour the fragile pages of Bach's B-Minor Mass, so thick with music that the ink has burned through the paper; the ballet score for Aaron Copland's 'Appalachian Spring', revealing the changes made to please guest dancer Rudolf Nureyev; and a long-lost flute concerto by Vivaldi, rediscovered after being buried in an Edinburgh archive for 250 years. Through detailed study of these, and many other, manuscripts, they reveal the answers to questions such as, how did Debussy attempt to capture the sea? What famous lines were adapted for their first singers? Why was one of Mozart's boldest lines crossed out? And did the shooting of a German diplomat inspire Tippett's A Child of Our Time? Inspired, insightful and often surprising, this is an unparalleled look at the astonishing secret history of musical invention - ink blots, doodles, coffee stains and all.

Title: Embers of Childhood: Growing Up a Whitney Author: Flora Miller Biddle Narrator: Rosemary Benson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 3, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A Look into the Privileged World of the American Aristocracy of the Early Twentieth Century Flora Miller Biddle was born a blue-blood. The granddaughter of the Whitney museum founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, her childhood played out in a sort of Wharton landscape as she was shielded from the woes of the world. But money itself is not the source of happiness. Glimpses into the elegance of a Vanderbilt ball thrown by her great-grandparents and the yearly production of traveling from her childhood home on Long Island to their summer home in Aiken, South Carolina, are measured against memoires of strict governesses with stricter rules in a childhood separate from her parents, despite being in the same house, and the ever-present pressure to measure up in her studies and lessons. As Flora steps back in time to trace the origins of her family's fortune and where it stands today, she takes a discerning look at how wealth and excess shaped her life, for better and for worse.

Title: Embers of Childhood: Growing Up a Whitney Author: Flora Miller Biddle Narrator: Rosemary Benson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 33 minutes Release date: August 3, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A Look into the Privileged World of the American Aristocracy of the Early Twentieth Century Flora Miller Biddle was born a blue-blood. The granddaughter of the Whitney museum founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, her childhood played out in a sort of Wharton landscape as she was shielded from the woes of the world. But money itself is not the source of happiness. Glimpses into the elegance of a Vanderbilt ball thrown by her great-grandparents and the yearly production of traveling from her childhood home on Long Island to their summer home in Aiken, South Carolina, are measured against memoires of strict governesses with stricter rules in a childhood separate from her parents, despite being in the same house, and the ever-present pressure to measure up in her studies and lessons. As Flora steps back in time to trace the origins of her family's fortune and where it stands today, she takes a discerning look at how wealth and excess shaped her life, for better and for worse. In this wonderfully evocative memoir, Flora Miller Biddle examines, critiques, and pays homage to the people and places of her childhood that shaped her life.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/it-ain-t-heavy-it-s-my-story-my-life-in-the-hollies-by-bobby-elliott--65315682https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/513884 to listen full audiobooks.

His guests include some of the sharpest minds of our time - artists, writers, designers, comedians, musicians and scientists, among them Steve Martin, Margaret Cho, John Waters, Roxane Gay, Fiona Shaw, Orhan Pamuk and Stanley Tucci. Each guest selects a piece of art that speaks to them - one that's inspiring, startling, intriguing or challenging. Some pick familiar works, others ones they've never seen before, and their choices range from paintings and sculptures to photographs, films and even symbols. Drawing on their personal history and expert knowledge, they share their thoughts, insights and observations. How does a cosmologist view Van Gogh's The Starry Night? What does a jazz pianist see in Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie? What will a top fashion designer decode from the clothes painted by an artist in Harlem in the 1930s? And what will a psychologist make of Picasso's unflinching depictions of man's inhumanity, The Charnel House and Guernica? These questions, and many more, will be answered in this eye-opening series. Revealing, surprising and perceptive, it deconstructs the gallery experience, bringing us a new way of looking at, and appreciating, art. Copyright © 2021 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Title: All Things Must Pass Away: Harrison, Clapton, and Other Assorted Love Songs Author: Kenneth Womack, Jason Kruppa Narrator: Paul Woodson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 13 minutes Release date: July 20, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: George Harrison and Eric Clapton shared a legendary and tumultuous friendship that shaped not only their respective lives and careers but the shifting face of rock itself in the early 1970s. All Things Must Pass Away traces that friendship from its earliest roots in 1964, when Beatles-averse blues-rocker Eric met George backstage at the Hammersmith Odeon, through the messy trials of Clapton's affair with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, to the turn of the century, as the two elder statesmen of rock traded honors during Harrison's final days. But at the heart of the story are the November 1970 releases of All Things Must Pass, Harrison's powerful emancipatory statement in the wake of the Beatles' dissolution, and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, Clapton's impassioned reimagining of his art via Derek and the Dominos. Authors Womak and Kruppa interrogate these two iconic albums, from inspiration to studio sessions to legacies, and unearth new perspectives on Harrison and Clapton and they way their musicianship and songwriting advanced rock 'n' roll from a windswept 1960s idealism into the wild and expansive new reality of the 1970s.

Title: Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story Author: Julie K. Brown Narrator: Julie K. Brown, Julia Whelan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 42 minutes Release date: July 20, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.6 of Total 5 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: The New York Times Bestseller “A gripping journalistic procedural… Spotlight meets Erin Brockovich.” —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times “Julie K. Brown's important book offers not just a definitive account of the Epstein case, but a compelling window into her own experiences as a dogged reporter at a regional newspaper, facing off against powerful interests set against her reporting.” —Ronan Farrow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Catch and Kill Dauntless journalist Julie K. Brown recounts her uncompromising and risky investigation of Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex trafficking operation, and the explosive reporting for the Miami Herald that finally brought him to justice while exposing the powerful people and broken system that protected him. For many years, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's penchant for teenage girls was an open secret in the high society of Palm Beach, Florida and Upper East Side, Manhattan. Charged in 2008 with soliciting prostitution from minors, Epstein was treated with unheard of leniency, dictating the terms of his non-prosecution. The media virtually ignored the failures of the criminal justice system, and Epstein's friends and business partners brushed the allegations aside. But when in 2017 the U.S Attorney who approved Epstein's plea deal, Alexander Acosta, was chosen by President Trump as Labor Secretary, reporter Julie K. Brown was compelled to ask questions. Despite her editor's skepticism that she could add a new dimension to a known story, Brown determined that her goal would be to track down the victims themselves. Poring over thousands of redacted court documents, traveling across the country and chasing down information in difficulty and sometimes dangerous circumstances, Brown tracked down dozens of Epstein's victims, now young women struggling to reclaim their lives after the trauma and shame they had endured. Brown's resulting three-part series in the Miami Herald was one of the most explosive news stories of the decade, revealing how Epstein ran a global sex trafficking pyramid scheme with impunity for years, targeting vulnerable teens, often from fractured homes and then turning them into recruiters. The outrage led to Epstein's arrest, the disappearance and eventual arrest of his closest accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, and the resignation of Acosta. The financier's mysterious suicide in a New York City jail cell prompted wild speculation about the secrets he took to the grave-and whether his death was intentional or the result of foul play. Tracking Epstein’s evolution from a college dropout to one of the most successful financiers in the country—whose associates included Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, and Bill Clinton—Perversion of Justice builds on Brown's original award-winning series, showing the power of truth, the value of local reportage and the tenacity of one woman in the face of the deep-seated corruption of powerful men.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509163Tue, 20 Jul 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509163 to listen full audiobooks.

While much has been done to study, preserve, and interpret Gullah culture in the lowcountry and sea islands of South Carolina and Georgia, some traditions like the shouting and rowing songs have been all but forgotten. This work, which focuses primarily on South Carolina's St. Helena Island, illuminates the remarkable history, survival, and influence of spirituals since the earliest recordings in the 1860s.Grounded in an oral tradition with a dynamic and evolving character, spirituals proved equally adaptable for use during social and political unrest and in unlikely circumstances. Most notably, the island's songs were used at the turn of the century to help rally support for the United States' involvement in World War I and to calm racial tensions between black and white soldiers. In the 1960s, civil rights activists adopted spirituals as freedom songs, though many were unaware of their connection to the island.Gullah Spirituals uses fieldwork, personal recordings, and oral interviews to build upon earlier studies and includes an appendix with more than fifty transcriptions of St. Helena spirituals, many no longer performed and more than half derived from Crawford's own transcriptions. Through this work, Crawford hopes to restore the cultural memory lost to time while tracing the long arc and historical significance of the St. Helena spirituals.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512486Fri, 16 Jul 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512486 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic: Revised and Expanded Edition Author: Jessica Hopper Narrator: Ella Turenne, Mozhan Marnò Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 10 minutes Release date: July 6, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: An acclaimed, career-spanning collection from a fiercely feminist and revered contemporary rock critic, reissued with new material Throughout her career, spanning more than two decades, Jessica Hopper, a revered and pioneering music critic, has examined women recording and producing music, in all genres, through an intersectional feminist lens. The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic features oral histories of bands like Hole and Sleater Kinney, interviews with the women editors of 1970s-era Rolling Stone, and intimate conversations with iconic musicians such as Björk, Robyn, and Lido Pimienta. Hopper journeys through the truths of Riot Grrrl's empowering insurgence; decamps to Gary, Indiana, on the eve of Michael Jackson's death; explodes the grunge-era mythologies of Nirvana and Courtney Love; and examines the rise of emo. The collection also includes profiles and reviews of some of the most-loved, and most-loathed, women artists making music today: Fiona Apple, Kacey Musgraves, M.I.A., Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey. In order for the music industry to change, Hopper writes, we need “the continual presence of radicalized women . . . being encouraged and given reasons to stay, rather than diminished by the music which glues our communities together.” The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic―published to acclaim in 2015, and reissued now with new material and an introduction by Samantha Irby―is a rallying cry for women-centered history and storytelling, and a groundbreaking, obsessive, razor-sharp panorama of music writing crafted by one of the most influential critics of her generation.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/516552Tue, 06 Jul 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/516552 to listen full audiobooks.

At one of the most chaotic periods in American history, in a time of national distrust and despair, one tanned TV host holds the key to the future. In How I Saved the World, Jesse Watters takes readers on a tour of his life from basement-dwelling Fox minion to pampered champion of right-thinking Americans. He has divined great truths about the nature of our country while stumbling across beaches asking oblivious college students basic political questions and while stumbling out of Air Force One with the President. Interspersed are his thoughtful suggestions for overcoming left-wing radicalism, maintaining American democracy, moving beyond aging hippies (like his long-suffering, loving parents), saving the world from social justice warriors and the deep state—all while smirking his way through life in only the nicest way.  Watters outlines the stark choice ahead of us between all-American hamburgers and leftist Green New Deal breadlines (okay, maybe that one is a no-brainer) and shows the way for order and fairness to be restored. A manifesto and a call-to-arms from a man for all seasons, How I Saved the World is a hilarious, enlightening, entertaining book with a reasonable chance of winning a Nobel Prize in every category, even chemistry.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/518091Tue, 06 Jul 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/518091 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Citizen Trump: A One Man Show Author: Robert Orlando Narrator: Charles Constant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 30 minutes Release date: June 29, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Writer/director Robert Orlando, locked down during the Covid-19 pandemic, learned Citizen Kane was Trump's favorite film, and the parallels were astonishing. Both Kane and Trump are swaggering masters of media, and both claim to stand for the working man. 'Orson Welles, the boy genius of Kane, was possessing me from the grave,' states Orlando. In Orlando's acclaimed documentary Citizen Trump, we witness Trump, like Kane, trying to escape unglamorous beginnings. A decades-long effort to rise as aspiring Hollywood mogul, real estate player, darling of gossip columnists, casino owner, dabbler in politics, and reality TV star. Each new stage was a rehearsal for his role as president. In this follow-up to the film, Orlando takes an even deeper dive into the nature of Trump's background as an entertainer-and how it led to the miraculous upset of Clinton and his rise as president. Truth-be-told, Kane was crushed by scandal; Trump was not. He triumphed above front-page divorces, bankruptcies, unprecedented media attacks, and political chaos. Did his failed attempt at re-election end his star power? Citizen Trump gives us our looking glass. THIS AUDIOBOOK MAY INCLUDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

Although such movies have been traditionally understood as offering only sadistic pleasures to their mostly male audiences, Clover demonstrates that they align spectators not with the male tormentor, but with the females tormented—notably the slasher movie's 'final girls'—as they endure fear and degradation before rising to save themselves.

How could it lose? But instead Salamon got a front-row seat at the Hollywood disaster of the decade. She shadowed the film from its early stages through the last of the eviscerating reviews, and met everyone from the actors to the technicians to the studio executives. They'd all signed on for a blockbuster, but there was a sense of impending doom from the start—heart-of-gold characters replaced Wolfe's satiric creations; affable Tom Hanks was cast as the patrician heel; Melanie Griffith appeared mid-shoot with new, bigger breasts. With a keen eye and ear, Salamon shows us how the best of intentions turned into a legendary Hollywood debacle.

In Music: A Very Short Introduction, Nicholas Cook invites us to really think about music and the role it plays in our lives and our ears. Drawing on a number of accessible examples, the author prompts us to call on our own musical experiences in order to think more critically about the roles of the performers and the listener, about music as a commodity and an experience, what it means to understand music, and the values we ascribe to it. This Very Short Introduction, written with both humor and flair, begins with a sampling of music as human activity and then goes on to consider the slippery phenomenon of how music has become an object of thought.

Sylvain, one of only two surviving members of the original New York Dolls, offers a fly-on-the-wall, sincere and often hilarious account of the rise and fall of the Dolls, the group that flew so close to the sun that they exploded in a fireball that lit the touch paper under punk rock. Though their brief, sensation-filled yet doomed career produced just two albums, the Dolls exerted an influence on rock that changed it forever. A cross between the Rolling Stones and the Sex Pistols, the Dolls became the link in the chain between them, offering a crash course in mischief, cross-dressing, and anarchy, but like unheralded prophets of Biblical times they were cast aside until the world finally caught up.

Title: Film Music: A Very Short Introduction Author: Kathryn Kalinak Narrator: Amy Rubinate Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 1 minute Release date: June 1, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Years before synchronized sound became the norm, projected moving images were shown to musical accompaniment, whether performed by a lone piano player or a hundred-piece orchestra. Today film music has become its own industry, indispensable to the marketability of movies around the world. Film Music: A Very Short Introduction is a compact, lucid, and thoroughly engaging overview written by one of the leading authorities on the subject. Kathryn Kalinak introduces listeners not only to important composers and musical styles but also to modern theoretical concepts about how and why film music works. Key collaborations between directors and composers come under scrutiny, as do the oft-neglected practices of the silent film era. She also explores differences between original film scores and compilation soundtracks that cull music from pre-existing sources. As Kalinak points out, film music can do many things, from establishing mood and setting to clarifying plot points and creating emotions that are only dimly realized in the images.

Title: Cary Grant, the Making of a Hollywood Legend Author: Mark Glancy Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 53 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Archie Leach was a poorly educated, working-class boy from a troubled family living in the backstreets of Bristol. Cary Grant was Hollywood's most debonair film star—the embodiment of worldly sophistication. Cary Grant: The Making of a Hollywood Legend tells the incredible story of how a sad, neglected boy became the suave, glamorous star many know and idolize. The first biography to be based on Grant's own personal papers, this book takes us on a fascinating journey from the actor's difficult childhood through years of struggle in music halls and vaudeville, a hit-and-miss career in Broadway musicals, and three decades of film stardom during Hollywood's golden age. Leaving no stone unturned, Cary Grant delves into all aspects of Grant's life, from the bitter realities of his impoverished childhood to his trailblazing role in Hollywood as a film star who defied the studio system and took control of his own career. Highlighting Grant's genius as an actor and a filmmaker, author Mark Glancy examines the crucial contributions Grant made to such classic films as Bringing Up Baby (1938), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Notorious (1946), An Affair to Remember (1957), North by Northwest (1959), Charade (1963), and Father Goose (1964).]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/514077Tue, 25 May 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/514077 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Documentary Film: A Very Short Introduction Author: Patricia Aufderheide Narrator: Tamara Marston Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 41 minutes Release date: May 25, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Documentary film can encompass anything from Robert Flaherty's pioneering ethnography Nanook of the North to Michael Moore's anti-Iraq War polemic Fahrenheit 9/11, from Dziga Vertov's artful Soviet propaganda piece Man with a Movie Camera to Luc Jacquet's heart-tugging wildlife epic March of the Penguins. In this concise, crisply written guide, Patricia Aufderheide takes listeners along the diverse paths of documentary history and charts the lively, often fierce debates among filmmakers and scholars about the best ways to represent reality and to tell the truths worth telling. Beginning with an overview of the central issues of documentary filmmaking—its definitions and purposes, its forms and founders—Aufderheide focuses on several of its key subgenres, including public affairs films, government propaganda (particularly the works produced during World War II), historical documentaries, and nature films. Her thematic approach allows listeners to enter the subject matter through the kinds of films that first attracted them to documentaries, and it permits her to make connections between eras, as well as revealing the ongoing nature of documentary's core controversies involving objectivity, advocacy, and bias. Interwoven throughout are discussions of the ethical and practical considerations that arise with every aspect of documentary production.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520409Tue, 25 May 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/520409 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: All the Rage: A Partial Memoir in Two Acts and a Prologue Author: Brad Fraser Narrator: Brad Fraser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: May 18, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A Canadian playwright's rise to fame amid the terrors of the AIDS era. Brad Fraser suffered an impoverished and abusive childhood, living with his teenage parents in motel rooms and shacks on the side of the highway in Alberta and Northern British Columbia. He grew to be one of the most celebrated, and controversial, Canadian playwrights, his work produced to acclaim all over the world. All the Rage chronicles Brad Fraser's rise as he breaks with his past and enrolls as a performing arts student. He is pulled into the newly developing Canadian theatre scene, where he shows great promise. But his early career is one of challenge after challenge, some of which result from his upbringing and prejudice against his queerness. But just as many challenges arise from his combative personality and willingness to challenge the establishment. Few Canadian artists have been as abrasive, notorious and polarizing as Fraser was in his youth. Woven through this tale of artistic development is his journey as a queer man coming into himself during the most exhilarating period in the Gay Liberation Movement, and the dawn of a global health crisis. What should have been a triumphant time in a young, successful playwright's life was blighted with the terrifying emergence of AIDS, and the sickness and death of comrades and lovers. This is both the story of an artist's evolution and an important work of gay history that has rarely been recounted from a Canadian perspective. Written with Fraser's trademark wit and candour, All the Rage is unsparing, sometimes shocking and always enthralling.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/504893Tue, 18 May 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/504893 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Takin' Care of Business: A History of Working People's Rock 'n' Roll Author: George Case Narrator: David De Vries Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 36 minutes Release date: May 11, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: By the early 1970s, practically everyone under a certain age liked rock music, but not everyone liked it for the same reasons. We typically associate the sounds of classic rock 'n' roll with youthful rebellion by juvenile delinquents, student demonstrators, idealistic hippies, or irreverent punks. But in this insightful and timely book, author George Case shows how an important strain of rock music from the late 1960s onward spoke to and represented an idealized self-portrait of a very different audience: the working-class 'Average Joes' who didn't want to change the world as much as they wanted to protect their perceived place within it. To the extent that 'working-class populism' describes an authentic political current, it's now beyond a doubt that certain musicians and certain of their songs helped define that current. By now, rock 'n' roll has cast a long shadow over hundreds of millions of people around the world not just over reckless kids, but over wage-earning parents and retired elders; not just over indignant youth challenging authority, but over indignant adults challenging their own definition of it. Not only have the politics of rock fans drifted surprisingly rightward since 1970; some rock, as Case argues, has helped reset the very boundaries of left and right themselves.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512124Tue, 11 May 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/512124 to listen full audiobooks.

Packed with sketches, songs, catchphrases and innuendo, it mixes silliness, satire and sophistication to superb effect, and continues to make us laugh today. Kenneth Horne - 'who prefers to remain anonymous' - is our unflappable host in these 46 episodes, presiding over an array of fabulous characters such as camp duo Charles and Rodney, celebrity chef Fanny Haddock and countryman Arthur Fallowfield (for whom the answer always lies in the soil, regardless of the question). Regular documentary spoof 'Hornerama' returns, with a look at topics including the arts, the countryside, travel and television; and Kenneth Horne's weeks become increasingly extraordinary and eventful. Plus, the team tackle the Siege of Troy, present a new interpretation of 'Horne In Wonderland' (or 'Beyond Our Looking Glass'), offer their take on Caesar and Cleopatra's story and revel in a Regency romp through Beau Brummel's Brighton. Accompanying them for some musical interludes are Jill Day, Edwin Braden, the Fraser Hayes Four, Eileen Gourlay and the BBC Variety Orchestra. Written by Eric Merriman, these wonderful, whimsical shows star Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick, Betty Marsden and Bill Pertwee.

Title: Tom Allen is Actually Not Very Nice: BBC Radio comedy Author: Tom Allen Narrator: Tom Allen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 26 minutes Release date: May 6, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: All four episodes of Tom Allen's brilliant BBC Radio 4 show - plus two series of The Correspondent Award-winning comedian Tom Allen is one of Britain's best and brightest stand-ups. He's appeared on Mock the Week, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice and Live at the Apollo, toured several sell-out solo shows, starred in his own TV pilot and even written an autobiography. He's always seemed pleasant and polite on the surface: but the truth is, he's a monster - or so he says. In Tom Allen's Actually Not Very Nice, he stages a stand-up intervention to find out what turned him from sweet to naughty, and how he can get back on the straight and narrow. With help from his friend Gabby Best, and the studio audience, Tom works out how best to navigate some tricky social situations - like sacking your personal trainer, dealing with other people's children, sitting through an entire play and being set up on a date. Can he learn how to keep a lid on his fury in the face of life's small injustices? Also included in this collection are Series 1 and 2 of The Correspondent - eight bittersweet comic monologues charting Tom's professional and domestic misadventures. From handling the frustrations of his horrible job to coping with his family at Aunt Leslie's funeral, Tom's life is just one long round of miserable mundanity. But there are welcome distractions with the discovery of a new mystery friend in the workplace, and the possibility of finding love online. And in a bonus programme from Radio 5 Live's in-depth interview show, Headliners, Tom chats to Nihal Arthanayake about growing up in '90s suburbia, coming out and his hilarious memoir No Shame - as well as revealing what he thinks of Nihal's newest dessert recipe...

In Laughing at Myself: My Education in Congress, on the Farm, and at the Movies, Dan Glickman tells his story of a classical family background, religious heritage, and 'Midwestern-nice' roots, and how it led to a long and successful career in public service.

Title: A Wonderful Guy: Conversations with the Great Men of Musical Theater 1st Edition Author: Eddie Shapiro Narrator: Christopher Salazar, Donald Corren, Beresford Bennett Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 7 minutes Release date: May 3, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Fascinating, never-before-published interviews with Broadway's leading men offer behind-the-scenes looks at the careers of some of the most beloved perfomers today. In A Wonderful Guy, a follow up to Nothing Like a Dame: Conversations with the Great Women of Musical Theater, theatre journalist Eddie Shapiro sits down for intimate, career-encompassing conversations with nineteen of Broadway's most prolific and fascinating leading men. Full of detailed stories and reflections, his conversations with such luminaries as Joel Grey, Ben Vareen, Norm Lewis, Gavin Creel, Cheyenne Jackson, Jonathan Groff and a host of others dig deep into each actor's career; together, these chapters tell the story of what it means to be a leading man on Broadway over the past fifty years. Alan Cumming described Nothing Like a Dame, as 'an encyclopedia of modern musical theatre via a series of tender meetings between a diehard fan and his idols. Because of Eddie Shapiro's utter guilelessness, these women open up and reveal more than they ever have before, and we get to be the third guest at each encounter.' A Wonderful Guy brings more fly-on-the-wall opportunities for fans to savour, students to study, and even the unindoctrinated to understand the life of the performing artist.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506672Mon, 03 May 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506672 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: MUGS GAME: A SUBURBAN ODYSSEY: Dave Warner's musical autobiography from 1963 to the release of the ground-breaking 1978 album Mugs Game. Author: Dave Warner Narrator: Dave Warner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 57 minutes Release date: May 1, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: A mix of narrative, music, poems, reflections and historic interviews narrated by me about all the influences that led to the ultimate recording of my 1978 album Mugs Game. I grew up in the 1960s in Perth, Western Australia, the most isolated city in the world, yet harboured the dream of playing rock music like the Who, or the Beatles or the Doors. Garage bands progressed to songs: some introspective about my life as an adolescent in a sea of Laminex, some angry, satirical rock inspired by Frank Zappa and the Fugs. In the late 1960s original Australian music was almost unheard of. What there was tended to be a faithful recreation of American or English pop music, and nobody sang in an Australian accent. I knew that the most powerful art, including rock music, needed veracity and that presented me with an awful dilemma: if I was to write truly original, powerful songs, I would have to make them about my boring, unfashionable, Australian middle-class life. In 1972 I formed probably Australia’s first punk band Pus. After a stint in London I refined the concept of my music into what I called `suburban rock.’ This culminated in Mugs Game (Mushroom). It went gold in three months but its genesis was way back in 1963 and it evolved steadily along the way as my life was influenced by friends, fellow musicians and constant romantic rejection. This 4.5 hour long audio-book is the story of my life from 1963-78 told with assistance of 57 songs and poems, including all Mugs Game tracks in full plus earlier demos, and other songs of that time never before recorded. My life-long friends and fellow Suburbs Tony Durant and John Dennison talk about the early days and the evolution of the band and Mugs Game. In some ways, I think my story is the story of every musician who went on to form a band and write and record an album. But it is of course, uniquely mine too – the Suburban Boy trapped in the Mugs Game.

From confessional tales of saving friends and oneself from drowning in polluted lakes in Michigan to legendary liver-wrecking nights of excess and debauchery in Lisbon, McGrath comments on the corrupt and selfish music industry and the toll it takes on musicians as they blindly chase success. Here Goes Nothing is a gutsy story of how life on the road can bring a band together - or tear them wildly apart.

Title: Release the Snyder Cut: The Crazy True Story Behind the Fight That Saved Zack Snyder’s Justice League Author: Sean O'connell Narrator: George Newbern Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 8 minutes Release date: April 27, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: We're currently in the golden age of superhero blockbusters. Movies like Black Panther, Wonder Woman, Joker, and Avengers: Endgame routinely break box office records and compete for Oscars. Yet, Zack Snyder's 2017 behemoth Justice League—a veritable sure bet at the Hollywood casino—tanked miserably, and the behind-the-scenes reasons for the movie's demise are fascinating. The true story behind Justice League’s failure is only half of the juicy narrative, though. Snyder—who left the project months before filming concluded—still fans the flames that surround the rumor of a 'Snyder Cut' of the film. This allegedly is the version of the story he wanted to tell before the studio, Warner Bros., pulled him off of the project. Pop-culture fans love a meaty mystery, and the controversy swirling around the lost Snyder Cut of Justice League has been captivating comic-book movie fans for years. Additionally, an army of passionate DC and Snyder fans are committed to getting the 'Cut' released. Their stories are remarkable, and the book is just as much about the dedicated fans who make up the Snyder Cut movement as it is about the unreleased film.

Title: The Beatles in my life Author: Paul Griggs Narrator: Paul Griggs Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 41 minutes Release date: April 23, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1957 I discovered a guy called Lonnie Donegan who was having hit after hit singing mainly Blues and folk based songs. He adapted these songs into his own inimitable style called Skiffle. Lonnie was inspirational to me and I persuaded my Father to build me my first guitar. I taught myself to play and formed my own Skiffle group called The Satellites. Around the same time some 200 miles away a certain John Lennon had persuaded his Aunt Mimi to buy him a cheap, Gallotone guitar (guaranteed not to split) and with some mates formed his own Skiffle group called the Quarrymen. The line up changed until it included Paul McCartney who persuaded John to let his friend George Harrison join. A few name and personnel changes later the line up was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and the name of the group was The Beatles. I don’t remember “Love me do” first time around although it did go to number seventeen in the charts in December 1962. I remember their second release “Please Please Me” which went to number one in February 1963, I thought it was OK but it didn’t knock me out, but their third release “From Me to You” hit the spot and from that moment, I was completely hooked on The Beatles. I first saw them live at Luton Odeon on 6th September 1963 and managed to catch nine more live shows in the next two and a half years culminating with their last official UK appearance for The New Musical Express Poll Winners concert at Wembley on 1st May 1996. There was a rumour in the late sixties that Paul was dead and in 1969 I almost bought some truth to the rumour when I nearly ran over Paul and Linda whilst driving near Lords Cricket ground. I finally met a Beatle in 1987 when a song I had written called “No More. tears” was runner up in Paul McCartney’s “Buddy Holly Song Contest.

Title: The Beatles Rishikesh Disaster, 1968 Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 27 minutes Release date: April 18, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1968, the Beatles trekked to a remote, mysterious, and beautiful part of India known as Rishikesh, or the valley of the saints. For literally thousands of years, this remote riverside valley has been a magnet for advanced yogis, mystics, and seekers of truth. In 1968, it was the absolute zenith of all of this and the pop world as well. It was here the Beatles wrote dozens of now iconic songs while meditating at the feet of the lauded spiritual master. Along with many of the world's most celebrated people, the group once again led the way as innovators in not only music, but innate spirituality as well. Fifty years later, we remember the group's bold trek and artistic accomplishment in this inspirational audio biography from Beatles author and historian Geoffrey Giuliano. The Maharishi, the Beatles, and friends tell their own story in this one-of-a-kind celebration of a magical time gone by. If you are a fan of the Beatles and love their music, you have to have this extended, in-depth look at the birth of The Beatles' White Album. In 1992 Geoffrey Giuliano was asked if he would do an exclusive interview with the Maharishi in Switzerland. The author readily agreed as the reclusive spiritual master almost never met the press and he was embarking on an ambitious program of mass meditation to try to purify vast areas of the United States. After a great deal of negotiation, the two finally got together on Christmas Eve and had a prolonged, stirring conversation that is documented here. In addition, the Maharishi was joined by the late world-class magician Doug Henning. Put together with a chronological, historical narration by Giuliano, here is your chance to go one on one with one of the greatest spiritual minds of our time. This is the complete, exhaustive, untold story of the Beatles and the Maharishi, circa 1968.

Title: The Beatles Rishikesh Disaster, 1968 Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 27 minutes Release date: April 18, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1968, the Beatles trekked to a remote, mysterious, and beautiful part of India known as Rishikesh, or the valley of the saints. For literally thousands of years, this remote riverside valley has been a magnet for advanced yogis, mystics, and seekers of truth. In 1968, it was the absolute zenith of all of this and the pop world as well. It was here the Beatles wrote dozens of now iconic songs while meditating at the feet of the lauded spiritual master. Along with many of the world's most celebrated people, the group once again led the way as innovators in not only music, but innate spirituality as well. Fifty years later, we remember the group's bold trek and artistic accomplishment in this inspirational audio biography from Beatles author and historian Geoffrey Giuliano. The Maharishi, the Beatles, and friends tell their own story in this one-of-a-kind celebration of a magical time gone by. If you are a fan of the Beatles and love their music, you have to have this extended, in-depth look at the birth of The Beatles' White Album. In 1992 Geoffrey Giuliano was asked if he would do an exclusive interview with the Maharishi in Switzerland. The author readily agreed as the reclusive spiritual master almost never met the press and he was embarking on an ambitious program of mass meditation to try to purify vast areas of the United States. After a great deal of negotiation, the two finally got together on Christmas Eve and had a prolonged, stirring conversation that is documented here. In addition, the Maharishi was joined by the late world-class magician Doug Henning. Put together with a chronological, historical narration by Giuliano, here is your chance to go one on one with one of the greatest spiritual minds of our time. This is the complete, exhaustive, untold story of the Beatles and the Maharishi, circa 1968.

There Used To Be A Me bubbles with comedy insight into the workings of an eccentric - and, at times, cruel - mind, examining the pressures of a tortured imagination when given free and total control... but unable to take full responsibility.

William Warwick siempre ha querido ser detective. Por ello, y en contra de los deseos de su padre, el Consejero de la Reina Sir Julian Warwick, decide alejarse de la tradición familiar de estudiar abogacía, tradición que sí ha seguido su hermana Grace, y se une al Cuerpo de Policía Metropolitana de Londres. Tras graduarse en la universidad, William comienza una carrera que definirá su vida entera: desde los primeros meses de patrulla bajo la atenta supervisión de su primer mentor, el agente Fred Yates; hasta su primer caso importante como detective veterano en el Departamento de Arte y Antigüedades de Scotland Yard. Mientras investiga el robo de un cuadro de Rembrandt de incalculable valor en el Museo Fitzmolean, William conoce a Beth Rainsford, una asistente de arte de la que caerá perdidamente enamorado. Beth, por su parte, teme que el secreto que guarda acaba por salir a la luz. Mientras William sigue el rastro del cuadro robado, se cruza con el afable coleccionista de arte Miles Faulkner y con su brillante abogado, el Consejero de la Reina Booth Watson, ambos dispuestos a romper la ley para mantenerse siempre un paso por delante de William. Mientras tanto, Christina, la esposa de Miles Faulkner, hace amistad con William. Sin embargo, ¿de parte de quién está realmente? «Nothing ventured» supone el inicio de una nueva serie de novelas al más puro estilo de las Crónicas Clifton, el absoluto besteller de Jeffrey Archer según el Sunday Times. En ella conoceremos la historia del linaje de William Warwick, hombre de familia y detective que luchará durante toda una carrera contra un poderoso enemigo criminal. Mediante de giros argumentales, éxitos y tragedias, esta serie nos demostrará que William Warwick está destinado a convertirse en uno de los personajes más emblemáticos de Jeffrey Archer.

George Harrison on Geoffrey Giuliano, 1983 'Although I've personally known George Harrison for over twenty-five years, I actually feel a lot closer to the real man after reading Giuliano's masterful book.' Denny Laine, of The Moody Blues and Wings 'Writing about the music is a tricky business. It's only the experience of the music which has meaning. . Giuliano's that one in a million who can whittle down the dreams of an entire generation into something tangible, we can all touch, feel, taste, see, and even hear. That's what the Beatles did too, all those years ago Roy Orbison 'Geoffrey is one of a very elite group of writers: those who deal well with the magical spears of our times; those whose tools are their own clear vision.' Richie Havens 'This is a great biography - and Giuliano's a wonderful human to boot.' Steve Holly, drummer for Wings Once again internationally acclaimed, best-selling biographers, Geoffrey Giuliano and Avalon Giuliano tear back the decades-old veil of myth and unquestioning hero worship surrounding the Beatles’ turbulent lives and present the frank, often heart-wrenching tale of four young men from Liverpool thrust upon the world stage and into the stratosphere of untouchable super-stardom. Utilizing a wealth of unpublished personal correspondence, never-before-heard taped conversations, obscure studio and home recordings, lost songs and the forgotten diaries the group left behind at the Maharishi’s ashram in 1968, Revolution is the last word on the Beatles' astounding life and times. For the first time, family members, friends, and colleagues speak out exclusively on the often-oppressive constraints of global Beatlemania and the life-changing effect it had on the Boys. In their own words as well as in the words of those around them, we follow John, Paul, George and Ringo from their childhood in Liverpool and seedy days in Hamburg to the heights of Beatlemania]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/516651Sun, 11 Apr 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/516651 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Picturing Peter Bogdanovich: My Conversations with the New Hollywood Director Author: Peter Tonguette Narrator: Charles Constant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 31 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1971, Newsweek heralded The Last Picture Show as "the most impressive work by a young American director since Citizen Kane." Indeed, few filmmakers rivaled Peter Bogdanovich's popularity over the next decade. Riding the success of What's Up, Doc? (1972)and Paper Moon (1973), Bogdanovich became a bona fide celebrity, making regular appearances in his own movie trailers, occasionally hosting late-night television shows, and publicly advocating for mentors John Ford and Howard Hawks. No director of his era surpassed his ability to capture an audience's imagination. In Picturing Peter Bogdanovich: My Conversations with the New Hollywood Director, journalist and critic Peter Tonguette offers a film-by-film journey through the director's life and work. Beginning with a string of 1970s classics, Tonguette explores well-known films such as Saint Jack (1979), They All Laughed (1981), and Noises Off (1992), as well as the director's work on stage and television. Drawing on interviews conducted over sixteen years, Tonguette pairs his analysis with an extensive, previously unpublished series of Q&As with Bogdanovich. These exclusive interviews reveal behind-the-scenes details about the director's life, work, and future plans.

Title: Picturing Peter Bogdanovich: My Conversations with the New Hollywood Director Author: Peter Tonguette Narrator: Charles Constant Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 31 minutes Release date: April 6, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1971, Newsweek heralded The Last Picture Show as "the most impressive work by a young American director since Citizen Kane." Indeed, few filmmakers rivaled Peter Bogdanovich's popularity over the next decade. Riding the success of What's Up, Doc? (1972)and Paper Moon (1973), Bogdanovich became a bona fide celebrity, making regular appearances in his own movie trailers, occasionally hosting late-night television shows, and publicly advocating for mentors John Ford and Howard Hawks. No director of his era surpassed his ability to capture an audience's imagination. In Picturing Peter Bogdanovich: My Conversations with the New Hollywood Director, journalist and critic Peter Tonguette offers a film-by-film journey through the director's life and work. Beginning with a string of 1970s classics, Tonguette explores well-known films such as Saint Jack (1979), They All Laughed (1981), and Noises Off (1992), as well as the director's work on stage and television. Drawing on interviews conducted over sixteen years, Tonguette pairs his analysis with an extensive, previously unpublished series of Q&As with Bogdanovich. These exclusive interviews reveal behind-the-scenes details about the director's life, work, and future plans. Part memoir, part biography, this book offers a uniquely intimate portrait of one of Hollywood's most underappreciated directors.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/jeremy-brett-is-sherlock-holmes-by-maureen-whittaker--65315659https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/517318 to listen full audiobooks.

Durch dessen Schilderungen bekommen wir einen lebendigen Einblick in den Alltag eines kleinen Jungen, der musikalisch hochbegabt, aber andererseits eben auch ein einfacher Lausbub war. Mit dem Einverständnis der Autorin verfasste Arnd Pohlmann aus dem Buch ein Theaterstück für Kinder. Die gesungenen Lieder sind textierte Instrumentalstücke des Komponisten. Da die Aufführungen nach monatelangen Proben coronabedingt ausfallen mussten, ist nun ein Hörspiel entstanden - mit dem bekannten Hörbuchsprecher Rainer Strecker (Tintenherz, Reckless ...) als Erzähler und Mitgliedern des Musikwerks in den Kinder- und Erwachsenenrollen. Die einzeln zuhause aufgenommen Lieder und Sprechtexte wurden im Nachhinein am Computer zusammengeschnitten.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/510857Sun, 21 Mar 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/510857 to listen full audiobooks.

Version Sonntag Author: Musikwerk Kinderchor Narrator: Rainer Strecker Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 54 minutes Release date: March 21, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Margret Steenfatts Buch 'Auch ich bin ein König' basiert auf Tagebucheintragungen eines Bäckers, in dessen Haus die Familie Beethoven eine Zeit lang lebte. Durch dessen Schilderungen bekommen wir einen lebendigen Einblick in den Alltag eines kleinen Jungen, der musikalisch hochbegabt, aber andererseits eben auch ein einfacher Lausbub war. Mit dem Einverständnis der Autorin verfasste Arnd Pohlmann aus dem Buch ein Theaterstück für Kinder. Die gesungenen Lieder sind textierte Instrumentalstücke des Komponisten. Da die Aufführungen nach monatelangen Proben coronabedingt ausfallen mussten, ist nun ein Hörspiel entstanden - mit dem bekannten Hörbuchsprecher Rainer Strecker (Tintenherz, Reckless ...) als Erzähler und Mitgliedern des Musikwerks in den Kinder- und Erwachsenenrollen. Die einzeln zuhause aufgenommen Lieder und Sprechtexte wurden im Nachhinein am Computer zusammengeschnitten.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-junge-beethoven-horspiel-von-arnd-pohlmann-nach-dem-buch-auch-ich-bin-ein-konig-von-margret-steenfatt-mit-rainer-strecker-un--65315696https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/510856 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Lost Searchlight Tapes Vivian Stanshall Resurrected Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 7 minutes Release date: March 19, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Vivian, the headmaster of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, was also a singular author, poet, painter, actor, and iconic British eccentric. This unique audiobook offers rare insight into the brilliant clockwork mind of this late British national treasure. Renaissance man Stanshall holds forth on a number of insightful topics relating to his turbulent life and enticing, inspirational, evergreen work. This in-depth production also includes a concise one-hour biological overview of Vivian’s life as well as the personal remembrances of his close friend and longtime colleague, Giuliano. Stanshall was the quintessential, offbeat pop icon of the 60s, 70s and 80s. His tales of the upper-class Rawlinsons and Maynards are perfect fare for anyone with a warped sense of humor. Born Victor Anthony Stanshall, March 21, 1943, Shillingford, Oxfordshire, his post-WWII family settled in the coastal town of Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. From teenage bingo-caller to painting fairground attractions (and a spell in the merchant navy), Viv enrolled at London’s Central School of Art and Design. It was there in September 1962, he met Roger Ruskin Spear, Rodney Slater and Neil Innes (the latter attended nearby Goldsmiths College) and, with other equally unorthodox musicians, formed The Bonzo's. They appeared in the Beatles ' Mystery Tour' movie in 1967, to an off-kilter top 10 hit with `I’m The Urban Spaceman’ a year later, As the Dogs decided to split in early 1970 (after four LPs: `Gorilla’, `The Doughnut In Granny’s Greenhouse’, `Tadpoles’ and `Keynsham’), it presented an opportunity for Viv to explore his inner-madness on a few now highly collectable 45s. Contractual duties led Viv back to the Bonzos for 1972’s 'Let’s Make Up And Be Friendly’ – showcasing his sophisticated, spoken-wordsmith’s introduction to Sir Henry, via the 9-minute `Rawlinson End’.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509377Fri, 19 Mar 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509377 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: You Are Warmly Invited To A Nosh - Half Of Larry's Lunch Author: Geoffrey Giuliano Narrator: Geoffrey Giuliano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 52 minutes Release date: March 16, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Author Geoffrey Giuliano and Bonzo Dog man 'Legs' Larry Smith had a professional relationship that spanned six wry, weird years in the early 1980s. Together they crafted a cockeyed film script for Giuliano’s firm, intended for George Harrison’s Handmade Films, entitled Half of Larry’s Lunch, which, unfortunately, never made it to the screen and was eventually dropped. With concentrated work on the project conducted in pastoral Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, and Toronto, the two men spent untold months living and working together. Only recently was the interview and other material used in the production of this unique audiobook discovered after being lost for over three decades. With a lively, fairly bizarre interview between the two, an oddly amusing collection of Henley street interviews conducted by Geoffrey, and other Giuliano-penned musical odds and ends, here is a rare inside look at not only the unlikely relationship between these two talented men but also a breakdown of the creative process in its rawest and most primal form. An audio biographical must for all pop and rock fans, Bonzo Dog freaks, film buffs, underappreciated punks of all shapes and sizes as well as all university and school systems.

Diana grew up in Park House, situated on the Sandringham estate, and was educated in England and Switzerland. Diana came to prominence in February 1981 upon her engagement to Prince Charles. The marriage produced two sons, princes William and Harry, who were then respectively second and third in the line of succession to the British throne.

Here is his rags to riches then back to rags story as told by himself, in an honest, enlightening, often shocking, sometimes humorous look back on the first nineteen years of his often unlikely life and times. This first installment of his autobiography focuses on the years 1953 to 1971 and his trek from small town kid, to all American 1960's hippie, to enthusiastic young seeker of Lord Krishna in the early years of the Hare Krishna Movement. While this is uniquely Geoffrey's story it is also a similar tale to many who lived through the same era. If the child is the father of the man then this collection of cutting memories explains a great deal about the bold, creative character Giuliano later became.

Title: Tough Guys on Suspense, Vol. 1 Series: Part of The Suspense Series Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: February 9, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 1 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Suspense … Radio’s Outstanding Theater of Thrills! Suspense mixed mystery, suspicion, and dangerous adventure like no other. Featuring the biggest names in Hollywood, it stirred your nerves to offer you a precarious situation and then withhold the solution … until the last possible moment! Conceived as a potential radio vehicle for Alfred Hitchcock to direct, Suspense was a radio series of epic proportions. It aired on CBS from 1942 to 1962 and is considered by many to be the best mystery/drama series of the golden age. Known as Radio’s Outstanding Theater of Thrills, it focused on suspenseful stories starring the biggest names in Hollywood. Early in the run, episodes were hosted by the “Man In Black” who, from an omniscient perch, narrated stories of people thrown into dangerous or bizarre situations with plots that usually had an unseen twist or two. Running more than twenty years, Suspense aired nearly one thousand radio broadcasts. It made the transition to television in 1949, but it was much better suited for radio where the theater of the mind could run free.

Title: Classic Radio Spotlight: The Amos 'n' Andy Show, Vol. 1 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 19 minutes Release date: February 9, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Enjoy sixteen classic radio episodes of Amos ‘n’ Andy, the most popular comedy show of the Golden Age of radio! On March 19, 1928, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll introduced Amos ‘n’ Andy, which went on to become one of the most popular and longest-running programs in radio history. During the height of its popularity, almost the entire country listened to the fifteen-minute, Monday-through-Friday adventures of Amos ‘n’ Andy. Department stores open in the evening piped in the broadcasts so shoppers wouldn’t miss an episode; movie theaters scheduled their features to end just prior to the start of Amos ‘n’ Andy so they too could pipe it in. The characters were members of The Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge, of which George Stevens was “The Kingfish.” Amos and Andy ran the Fresh-Air Taxi Company, with the more stable, married Amos doing most of the work while Andy chased girls. In 1943, after 4,091 quarter-hour episodes, it switched to a half-hour weekly comedy. While the five-a-week show often had a quiet, easygoing feeling, the new version was a brassy Hollywood-style production, complete with studio audience, a full cast of supporting actors, and a full orchestra. Many of the half-hour programs were written by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, later the writing team for Leave It to Beaver and The Munsters. In the new version, Amos became a minor character to the more dominant Andy and Kingfish duo. 5/12/44 - “Masquerade” 5/19/44 - “Beauty Contest” 5/26/44 - “Gets Arrested” 6/2/44 - “Nazi Spy” 6/9/44 - “Four Shirts” 6/16/44 - “Used Car” 9/22/44 - “Singing Contest” 9/29/44 - “Hotel House Detective” 10/27/44 - “Madame Queen Marriage” 5/11/45 - “Movie Show” 6/1/45 - “Escort Show” 2/20/49 - “Birth of Amos and Rudy’s Third Child” 10/2/49 - “Social Security” 10/12/52 - “The Long Lost Husband” 5/24/53 - “Kingfish’s Old Love Letters” 1/17/54 - “The Dog Lover”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521023Tue, 09 Feb 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/521023 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Abbott and Costello Show, Vol. 1 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: January 12, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were a comedy duo seen in movies, on TV, and heard on radio. Their comedy routine “Who’s On First?” helped make them a national sensation. The duo started in Vaudeville and by the fall of 1942, Abbott and Costello had their own weekly radio program and topped the popularity polls of Radio Daily and Radio Guide. The Abbott and Costello Show ran for seven years until the summer of 1949. By then filming was completed for Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff, and Lou Costello was bedridden for several months due to a relapse of rheumatic fever—a health ailment he battled back in 1943. His illness prevented ABC from renewing the contract for an additional season on radio, so the boys ventured into the television business. Produced by Costello’s wife, Patricia, the television series lasted two seasons and gave the boys an opportunity to reprise the best comedic sketches and scenarios from their radio scripts. The next time you watch one of their television programs or one of their big-screen movies, remember that the flat sarcasm of Bud Abbott and the shrieks from Lou Costello originated on radio—the perfect medium for verbal standup that is often imitated today at fan gatherings. Enjoy sixteen of the best comedy broadcasts of Abbott and Costello! 1/25/45 - “Merchant Marines” 5/9/46 - “Lou Wants to Join the Circus” 5/30/46 - “Preparing for Guest Elsa Maxwell’s Party” 10/10/46 - “Ha-Lou-cinating” 3/20/47 - “Hanley Stafford Subs for Bud Abbott” 6/6/47 - “Bud and Lou Need Some Dough” 4/21/48 - “Marriage Bureau” 12/2/48 - “Private Eye Sam Shovel” 12/9/48 - “Private Eye Sam Shovel” 1/20/49 - “Secretary Who Was Shot” 2/3/49 - “Poisoned Food” 2/10/49 - “Nephew Who Gambled Away His Mother” 3/10/49 - “Striptease Dancer Arrested for Income Tax Fraud” 3/17/49 - “Cannibal Who Cooked a Long-Haired Musician” 3/24/49 - “Man Who Burned His Sweetheart’s Body” 3/31/49 - “Case of the Gorgeous Blonde Model”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515503Tue, 12 Jan 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515503 to listen full audiobooks.

Enjoy sixteen of the best comedy broadcasts of Abbott and Costello! 1/25/45 - “Merchant Marines” 5/9/46 - “Lou Wants to Join the Circus” 5/30/46 - “Preparing for Guest Elsa Maxwell’s Party” 10/10/46 - “Ha-Lou-cinating” 3/20/47 - “Hanley Stafford Subs for Bud Abbott” 6/6/47 - “Bud and Lou Need Some Dough” 4/21/48 - “Marriage Bureau” 12/2/48 - “Private Eye Sam Shovel” 12/9/48 - “Private Eye Sam Shovel” 1/20/49 - “Secretary Who Was Shot” 2/3/49 - “Poisoned Food” 2/10/49 - “Nephew Who Gambled Away His Mother” 3/10/49 - “Striptease Dancer Arrested for Income Tax Fraud” 3/17/49 - “Cannibal Who Cooked a Long-Haired Musician” 3/24/49 - “Man Who Burned His Sweetheart’s Body” 3/31/49 - “Case of the Gorgeous Blonde Model”]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-whistler-vol-5-by-black-eye-entertainment--65315695https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515504 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Whistler, Vol. 5 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 51 minutes Release date: January 12, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: I am The Whistler and I know many things for I walk by Night … many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak! The Whistler was one of radio’s top mystery programs airing from May 16, 1942, until September 22, 1955. Airing on CBS radio and sponsored by the Signal Oil Company, The Whistler (Joseph Kearns, Gale Gordon, and Bill Forman) was an ominous narrator who knew the killer’s every move even before they did. The stories followed an effective formula in which a person’s criminal acts were typically undone by their own missteps. The Whistler often commented directly upon the action in the manner of a Greek chorus, taunting the criminal from an omniscient perspective. One of the show’s trademarks was the ironic twist endings that helped serve as a payoff for the listener. Radio performers heard in this collection of sixteen episodes include Bill Forman, Elliott Lewis, Gerald Mohr, Joan Banks, and Frank Lovejoy. 7/16/47 - “Beyond Reasonable Doubt” 8/6/47 - “Dark Future” 8/27/47 - “Curtain Call” 9/10/47 - “Bridge on Black Mountain” 10/8/47 - “Career Man”10/22/47 - “A Case for Mr. Carrington” 10/29/47 - “The Back Door” 11/5/47 - “The Big Prison” 11/19/47 - “Dark Moon” 11/26/47 - “Body Off Billingsgate” 12/10/47 - “Wedding Gift” 12/17/47 - “Murder in Haste” 12/31/47 - “The First Year” 1/14/48 - “Silent Partner” 1/21/48 - “Twelve Portraits of Marcia” 3/3/48 - “Boiling Point”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515504Tue, 12 Jan 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515504 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Great Gildersleeve, Vol. 4 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 49 minutes Release date: January 12, 2021 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Harold Peary stars as Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, Summerfield’s loveable Water Commissioner and most eligible bachelor, in sixteen fun-filled comedy episodes! Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve was a popular character appearing regularly on The Fibber McGee & Molly Show. On August 31, 1941, the character landed his own situation comedy show, The Great Gildersleeve, becoming radio’s first spin-off. Gildy moved from the town of Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where he raised his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie (Lillian Randolph). The Great Gildersleeve was the first show to be centered on a single parent balancing raising children, work, and a social life, accomplished with taste and genuine wit, often at the expense of Gildersleeve’s slightly understated pomposity. Radio veteran Hal Peary originated the role of Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve but left the series at the height of its popularity in 1950, giving way to Peary-sound-alike and well-known character actor, Willard Waterman. Waterman continued in the radio role until 1957 and also played Gildersleeve in a TV version syndicated in 1955. Now, enjoy sixteen half-hour comedy episodes of The Great Gildersleeve starring Harold Peary. 3/1/42 - “The Fortune Teller” 3/22/42 - “Gildy’s New Neighbors” 4/26/42 - “Gildy’s Goat Horace” 5/3/42 - “Ship Christening” 5/10/42 - “Mystery Voice” 5/31/42 - “Dinner for Judge Hooker” 6/21/42 - “Father’s Day Chair” 6/28/42 - “Gildy in Love with Amelia Hooker” 8/30/42 - “Fishing Vacation” 9/6/42 - “Golf Tournament” 10/4/42 - “Planting a Tree” 10/11/42 - “First Cold Snap” 10/18/42 - “Appointed Water Commissioner” 10/25/42 - “First Day on the Job” 11/8/42 - “Quiet Evening at Home” 11/15/42 - “College Chum’s Son Visits”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515501Tue, 12 Jan 2021 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/515501 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Classic Radio Spotlight: Fibber McGee and Molly, Vol. 1 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 53 minutes Release date: December 15, 2020 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Let’s all visit 79 Wistful Vista, the home of Fibber McGee and Molly, who each week invited millions of listeners to tune in to their comedic, family-friendly radio adventures. Few radio programs were more beloved than Fibber McGee and Molly, and even fewer play as well over a half century later. Fibber McGee and Molly had a long and successful run on radio (1935–1959). The program showcased terrific comic and musical talent, headlined by its creators and stars, married couple Jim and Marian Jordan. Living in the fictional Midwestern town of Wistful Vista, Fibber was an American teller of tall tales and a braggart, usually to the exasperation of his long-suffering wife, Molly. Fibber’s weekly schemes would be interrupted, inspired by, and often played upon the people of Wistful Vista, a set of regular players and characters including Mayor LaTrivia, Doc Gamble, Mrs. Uppington, Wallace Wimple, Alice Darling, Beulah, Myrt, the Old Timer, and Fibber’s next-door neighbor, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. The show began as a comic reflection of Depression-era America, but as time went on and the shadows of war came over the nation, the show again caught the mood of the country. WWII was fought on the home front at Wistful Vista as surely as anywhere else in America, but here they had the benefit of Fibber’s somewhat addled perspective. Now, enjoy sixteen of their funniest radio broadcasts. 2/4/41 - “Fibber Buys a New Suit and Steals a Hat”2/11/41 - “Fibber the Watch Salesman”2/18/41 - “Early to Bed”2/25/41 - “Bottle Collector”3/11/41 - “Quarantined with Measles”3/25/41 - “Fibber Changes His Name to Ronald”4/1/41 - “Molly Loses Left-Rear Fender”11/4/41 - “New Furniture”3/3/42 - “Boomer’s Suitcase”3/24/42 - “Fibber Writes a Song”4/14/42 - “Spring Festival”4/28/42 - “Fibber’s Old Straw Hat”5/12/42 - “Spy”6/9/42 - “Pot Roast for Dinner”12/1/42 - “Mileage Rationing”12/8/42 - “The Vacuum Cleaner”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/508440Tue, 15 Dec 2020 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/508440 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Screen Directors Playhouse, Vol. 2 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 56 minutes Release date: December 15, 2020 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Hollywood finest movies were dramatized on Screen Directors Playhouse. The stars of the films reprised their roles and the directors were on hand to talk about the making of the film. Screen Directors Playhouse came to NBC in 1949 and became one of the top drama anthologies featuring Hollywood actors reprising their screen roles a la Lux Radio Theater. The primary focus of the program was the original movie’s director, who not only served as a guest host but also participated in an interview towards the end of the broadcast. Unlike Lux, which featured Cecil B. DeMille as a regular host, Screen Directors Playhouse had a different director every week. Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Capra, William Wellman, Robert Siodmak, George Seaton, Joseph Mankiewicz, George Marshall, and Lewis Milestone were among those appearing. NBC poured a considerable amount of money into the productions. On one particular week, John Wayne and Claire Trevor reprised their screen roles in an adaptation of Stagecoach, with director John Ford chatting about his experiences making the movie. Tallulah Bankhead came back to do Lifeboat, with director Alfred Hitchcock at the helm. Edward G. Robinson revisited his role in The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, Dick Powell replayed his part in Pitfall, and Dorothy McGuire reprised The Spiral Staircase. It was an immediate success and garnered a large audience, lasting until 1951.

Title: Michael Shayne, Private Detective, Vol. 3 Author: Black Eye Entertainment Narrator: A Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 17, 2020 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Wally Maher, Jeff Chandler, and Edmund McDonald star a Brett Halliday’s red-haired Irish detective, Michael Shayne, in his nail-biting adventures from the Golden Age of radio. Michael Shayne, “the reckless, red-headed Irishman,” was a popular hard-boiled detective created by crime novelist Brett Halliday. Mike settled in Miami just after WWII, making crime pay by fighting it with a license and an attitude. Like Mike Hammer and Philip Marlowe, Shayne was a loner. The backstory on Mike is that he was happily married, but suddenly his wife is tragically murdered, and that hit him hard. Grief-stricken, Shayne loses himself in his work as a private eye, prowling the dark streets of Miami seeking out his style of revenge on injustice. The radio version of Mike’s exploits debuted as Michael Shayne, Private Detective in the fall of 1944 with Wally Maher in the title role. In 1948, Mutual radio debuted The New Adventures of Michael Shayne starring movie star Jeff Chandler. Others to portray Shayne on radio included Edmund McDonald, Donald Curtis, and Robert Sterling. Richard Denning, who had starred for years on the radio comedy series My Favorite Husband opposite Lucille Ball, portrayed Mike Shayne in a 1960’s TV version.

Limelight, Tunnel, Club USA, and Palladium—the cutting-edge, insanely successful, and notoriously decadent clubs that dominated New York City’s entertainment scene, their influences reverberating around the world. Across four decades, a single mysterious figure stood behind them all: Peter Gatien, the leading impresario of global nightlife. His clubs didn’t follow the trends—they created movements. They nurtured vanguard music acts that brought rock, house, grunge, hip-hop, industrial, and techno to the beautiful ones who showed up night after night to tear the roof off every party. But as Peter and his innovative team ramped up the hedonistic highs, Rudolph Giuliani was leading a major shift in the city. Under the guise of improving New York City’s “quality of life,” the club scene was targeted—and Peter Gatien’s empire became a major focus of the administration. In this frank and gritty memoir, Peter Gatien charts the seismic changes in his personal and professional life and the targeted destruction of his nightclub empire. From Peter’s childhood in a Canadian mill town to the freedom of the 1970s, through the excesses of the 1980s and the ensuing crackdown in the 1990s, The Club King chronicles the birth and death of a cultural movement—and the life of the man who was in control of every beat.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509247Wed, 01 Apr 2020 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/509247 to listen full audiobooks.

Born to interracial American parents in Sweden, Jason Diakité grew up between worlds—part Swedish, American, black, white, Cherokee, Slovak, and German, riding a delicate cultural and racial divide. It was a no-man’s-land that left him in constant search of self. Even after his hip-hop career took off, Jason fought to unify a complex system of family roots that branched across continents, ethnicities, classes, colors, and eras to find a sense of belonging. In A Drop of Midnight, Jason draws on conversations with his parents, personal experiences, long-lost letters, and pilgrimages to South Carolina and New York to paint a vivid picture of race, discrimination, family, and ambition. His ancestors’ origins as slaves in the antebellum South, his parents’ struggles as an interracial couple, and his own world-expanding connection to hip-hop helped him fashion a strong black identity in Sweden. What unfolds in Jason’s remarkable voyage of discovery is a complex and unflinching look at not only his own history but also that of generations affected by the trauma of the African diaspora, then and now.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/507496Sun, 01 Mar 2020 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/507496 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Woman at the Window Author: Shoma Chatterji Narrator: Pooja S Ruparel Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 49 minutes Release date: September 24, 2018 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Representations of women in Indian cinema are often warped and twisted. They are subjected to a series of gazes – voyeuristic, investigative and titillating. The controlling look is always with the male. One film-maker who consistently steered clear of this right through his career was Satyajit Ray. None of Ray's women on celluloid can be reduced to a cliche. They defy every imaginable stereotyping. This is particularly true of the women in his adaptations of Tagore's stories. Woman at the Window attempts a completely new way of looking at Ray's films in general, and his films adapted from Tagore in particular, through contextualizing the women by objects they are surrounded by or are fond of, or are habituated to using or learning to use over time. What emerges is a one-of-its-kind book, indeed the first comprehensive study of this kind on the cinema of Ray which offers a greater understanding of the differences, or the absence thereof, between Tagore's original stories and Ray's celluloid readings of these stories, as also fascinating material for gender studies students, researchers, academics and scholars writing on cinema. ©HarperCollins India 2018]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/517182Mon, 24 Sep 2018 07:33:54 +0000Doris WardPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/517182 to listen full audiobooks.
