Babysitting George , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
As a young reporter, Celia Walden receives an unusual assignment: track down a global superstar and keep him away from all other journalists. That man is soccer player George Best, who made his debut for Manchester United at age 17 and was the star of a star team throughout the 1960s. Enormously skilled and ruggedly handsome, idolized by men and women alike, he was referred to as 'the fifth Beatle', and still holds a firm place among the world's all-time best players. But in 2004, George Best is nearing 60 and deteriorating like a much older man. A notorious alcoholic and philanderer, he has just received a liver transplant and has Antabuse tablets sewn into his stomach lining. His wife has left him again. When Celia finds him in a bar in Malta, he isn't exactly delighted to see her. He's been chased by journalists all his life. Yet as Celia's assignment to "babysit" George around the clock stretches out over months, an unlikely sort of friendship develops, and she gets to know George as a funny, volatile, and complex human being, an avid reader and member of MENSA, ravaged by alcohol and gradually withering under the constant glare of the spotlight. Babysitting George is a tender account of a unique relationship between a young journalist and a dying star. It questions the exploitative nature of tabloid journalism; the terrifying, all-consuming nature of addiction; and the implausible meetings that can change one's life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

One quiet night in a rural Vermont town, a panicked woman calls 9-1-1 on a gas station payphone to report that a newborn baby has died. Local police respond to the call and charge Heather Garner, a college drop-out who’s been a member of fringe religious community The Messiah’s Tribes since the 1990s, with the murder of her infant son. Heather’s future is left in the hands of a family who hasn’t seen or heard from her in almost 20 years. Abby Harris’s friends and colleagues are puzzled by her choice to take on a child homicide case, but Abby is convinced that there’s more to Heather’s story than meets the eye. Putting her own pregnancy at risk, Abby’s investigations lead her to understand that The Messiah’s Tribes may not be a peaceful, eccentric bunch of hippies, but a well-organized, exploitative criminal enterprise.Engrossing and suspenseful, the mystery of Heather’s past is revealed piece by terrifying piece, until a jury must decide: Are Heather and her dead child just collateral damage, or is the dead-eyed woman a willing participant in the cult’s sinister agenda?Please note: This audio contains strong language, distressing situations, and descriptions of abuse and violence that some listeners may find upsetting.

Beautiful Days: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 785min
A new collection of 13 mesmerizing stories by American master Joyce Carol Oates, including the 2017 Pushcart Prize-winning "Undocumented Alien". The diverse stories of Beautiful Days, Joyce Carol Oates explore the most secret, intimate, and unacknowledged interior lives of characters not unlike ourselves, who assert their independence in acts of bold and often irrevocable defiance. "Fleuve Bleu" exemplifies the rich sensuousness of Oates's prose as lovers married to other persons vow to establish, in their intimacy, a ruthlessly honest, truth-telling authenticity missing elsewhere in their complicated lives, with unexpected results. In "Big Burnt", set on lushly rendered Lake George, in the Adirondacks, a cunningly manipulative university professor exploits a too-trusting woman in a way she could never have anticipated. "The Nice Girl" depicts a young woman who has been, through her life, infuriatingly "nice", until she is forced to come to terms with the raw desperation of her deepest self. In a more experimental but no less intimate mode, "Les beaux jours" examines the ambiguities of an intensely erotic, exploitative relationship between a "master" artist and his adoring young female model. And the tragic "Undocumented Alien" depicts a young African student enrolled in an American university who is suddenly stripped of his student visa and forced to undergo a terrifying test of courage. In these stories, as elsewhere in her fiction, Joyce Carol Oates exhibits her fascination with the social, psychological, and moral boundaries that govern our behavior - until the hour when they do not. ungekürzt.

In Bed with Susie Bright 562: Don't Ask for the 'Beast' in South Africa! - and Other Porn Habits, Hörbuch, Digital, 36min, (USK 18)
Ever wonder what the top 10 global Internet sex search words are? Susie looks at a very thorough list that shows which porn terms are the most popular. The search engine is called PornMD, which is part of Pornhub.com. What's surprising is the variances from country to country. And it's curious as well to see what words are universal. This is part history lesson, part laugh fest. Next, Susie is ticked off by an op-ed in the Washington Post. The headline: "18-year-olds are too young to be in porn". Now, this story is about a teen beauty-pageant winner who had to forfeit her title when it was discovered that she was in a porn movie as an 18-year-old. That's legal but, according to the op-ed, not right! Susie thinks it's ridiculous to condone pageants as a healthy way to showcase your beauty versus being paid to display your body in a film. Really, which one is more exploitative? Susie has a lot to say on this subject. Then, from the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a letter from a guy who needs advice. He's a lonely "non-sexpot" surrounded by "sexpots" and he's silently going crazy. "Help!" Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

In Bed with Susie Bright 645: The Lack of Empathy on 'My Husband's Not Gay', Hörbuch, Digital, 30min, (USK 18)
Reality TV has done it again! There's a new show about gay Mormons who don't engage in gay sex. Susie asks: How is everyone not feeling cheated here? She reads from Emma Green's Atlantic article about the TLC special My Husband's Not Gay, which profiles couples that include a straight wife who defends her gay husband. The claim is that he's not gay but experiences "same sex attraction". Susie's big beef here is how exploitative these shows are, and how they create a hubbub over what really deserves little attention. Next, more TV shockers. But this time it's about ass eating. The popular comedy show Girls has been expanding the variety of sex acts the girls participate in. The character Marnie was given a rim job by her partner Desi, and now there's a debate, over at jezebel.com, about whether it was sexy, unfunny, or just plain shocking to see. Susie loves that the show features oral sex, cunnilingus, and now, licking butts. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie has a sample to share from a sexy, scary new audiobook that will thrill and excite you. Tehran Noir, edited and translated by Salar Abdoh, and narrated by Lameece Issaq, Fajer Al-Kaisi, and Peter Ganim, features many dark and disturbing stories from Iranian writers. These short stories prove that Tehran is a hothouse of decadence. Have a question or news story for Susie? You can send your confidential queries and comments to susie@susiebright.com.

Community as Rebellion (eBook, ePUB)
An inspiring personal testimonial woven with political analysis, Community as Rebellion offers a meditation on the possibilities of creating spaces of freedom within the university for students and faculty of color who often experience violence and unbelonging due to the colonizing, racializing, classist, and unequal structures that sustain academia and the university. Sharing stories, personal reflections, and experiences, the author invites readers—in particular Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian women—to engage in liberatory practices of boycott and abolition, in contrast with the university's tokenizing and exploitative structures that shape our experiences in the academy, and hinder our possibilities of survival and success. Paired with radical community building, these practices are necessary for survival and critical for fighting back against a system that destroys us. One key site of freedom-making in the university is the classroom. Meditating on teaching ethnic studies, the author invites teachers to think about activism and social justice as central to what she calls "teaching in freedom,” a progressive form of collective learning that prioritizes subjugated knowledge, silenced histories, and the epistemologies that come from the Global South and from Indigenous, Black, and brown communities. By teaching in and for freedom we not only acknowledge the harm that the university has inflicted on our persons and our ways of knowing since its inception, but also create alternative ways to be, to create, to live, and to succeed through our work.- Shop: buecher
