    Miss Darcy's Companion: A Pride and Prejudice Variation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    Miss Georgiana Darcy is need of a companion, and she would much rather not have Mrs. Younge. The recently bereaved Miss Elizabeth Bennet is in need of a position. When she accepts the one Mr. Darcy offers, she finds herself in his near-constant company and gets to know him at his best. Not as he would present himself to strangers in some remote corner of Hertfordshire, but as his nearest and dearest know him. An excellent brother, landlord, master. A wonderful man, noble, kind and impossibly handsome. So who falls in love first? What of Mr. Wickham and his dastardly ploys? And how is a lady's companion ever to have a future with one who could marry into the best houses in the land? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stevie Zimmerman.

    Why Are Women So Gullible About Men? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 11min
    Author Jazz Vazquez explains why women are so easily duped by men who want to use and abuse them. While some women are savvy enough to see through a man who is a con artist or the so-called “narcissist”, other women fall for lines, tricks, and ploys. Are women tripping over their own egos because they were once young and hot? Are these women too steeped in Disney fairy tales to see the obvious? Or, are they just plain ignorant? Here are some facts about men to help steer women through the shark-infested waters of adult dating: Men choose younger over older.Men choose childless women over single mothers.Men choose never-before-married and childless over divorced and childless.Men choose thin over fat.Men choose pretty over unattractive.Women who don’t accept these realities are prey. ungekürzt.

    Car Talk: Men are from GM, Women are from Ford, Hörbuch, Digital, 67min
    Why is it that so many of our calls start out talking about, say, differentials or power steering, but wind up discussing men, women, devious ploys of deception, and power trips? Simple. To quote our producer, Dougie Berman: "A car is just a big inanimate object through which we reveal ourselves and our true personalities. Tangled up with cars are the issues of money, power, independence, self-image, confidence, generosity, and honesty, just to name a few." We couldn't have said it better, if at all.This program celebrates this fact with a variety of calls from across the relationship spectrum. We've included tips on meeting the perfect girl in traffic; Donna, her new Miata, and a devious husband; a battle with an ex over who gets to keep Patrick the mechanic; and many other tantalizing moments in the relationships of our esteemed callers.

When Aunt Dahlia demands that Bertie Wooster help her dupe an antique dealer into selling her an 18th-century cow-creamer. Dahlia trumps Bertie's objections by threatening to sever his standing invitation to her house for lunch, an unthinkable prospect given Bertie's devotion to the cooking of her chef, Anatole. A web of complications grows as Bertie's pal Gussie Fink-Nottle asks for counseling in the matter of his impending marriage to Madeline Bassett. It seems Madeline isn't his only interest; Gussie also wants to study the effects of a full moon on the love life of newts. Added to the cast of eccentrics are Roderick Spode, leader of a fascist organization called the Saviors of Britain, who also wants that cow-creamer, and an unusual man of the cloth known as Rev. H. P. "Stinker" Pinker. As usual, butler Jeeves becomes a focal point for all the plots and ploys of these characters, and in the end only his cleverness can rescue Bertie from being arrested, lynched, and engaged by mistake!

    Dirty Tricks: A Kate Lawrence Mystery, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 401min
    In the seventh Kate Lawrence Mystery, the amateur sleuth and her realtor partners, Margo and Strutter, investigate the sometimes frightening consequences of thwarted creative egos. When Margo's aunt, mystery writer Maybelle Farnsworth, moves to town a few weeks before Halloween, she soon becomes the target of a neighborhood prankster, or so Kate and her partners believe at first. When the dirty tricks escalate from annoying to terrifying, May's secret sideline as the publisher of a line of sexy romance novels comes into play. A horrified husband learns the true nature of his novelist wife's work, and a rejected author plots revenge. Within the context of this cozy mystery, the author shines a light into the seldom acknowledged dark corners of today's ultra-competitive publishing industry, including manipulative agents, clashing egos, and unethical ploys used by a few misguided authors to gain listeners' attention, such as fraudulent claims of prize nominations and paid-for reviews. ungekürzt.
