    Diary of a Barking Mad Dog Owner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min
    These are the hilarious adventures of a dog lover extraordinaire Listening to this brilliant reading by Fenella Lee of this tale of life with all things dog - especially Airedale - will transport you to a gentle, fun-loving universe where dog-driven disaster is only a short walk away. Due to his obsession with hedgehogs, Mr Mac was lead walked in the garden first thing in the morning before the sun was quite up and as soon as it was dusk, when hedgehogs are likely to be around searching for food. Thus you can imagine how mad I was when I arrived home from work on Friday, drove towards my gate and saw this half flat, spiky brown lump in the middle of the road. 'Arrrgggghhhh!' I shouted at it. 'You stupid, stupid hedgehog!' I parked my car in the drive and stomped back up the road. I was still shaking my head and ranting, 'How could you be so stupid? After my efforts to keep you safe all summer, and you go and run out in front of a car in broad daylight.' I reached the little spiky brown lump and stared at it as if I was hoping for an answer to my questions about its stupidity. Then a big smile spread across my face, and I looked round sheepishly, hoping that no one had witnessed or heard my outburst. The little spiky brown lump had been left on the road by a horse. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Fenella Lee.

    After Class (eBook, ePUB)
    Sit your butt down and learn your three Rs: ranting, resisting, and respect. In two new plays, Canada's king of black comedy takes on the failing education system. Both Parents Night and The Bigger Issue are set in public-school classrooms after hours and involve confrontations between stressed-out teachers and ticked-off parents. Both sympathize with embattled educators and evince Walker's trademark understanding of poverty and the working classes. In both, Walker's signature moves work: the audience feels simultaneously complicit in and righteously angry about injustice and inequity. Parents Night finds grade-three teacher Nicole caught in the crossfire between John, an arrogant executive dad, and Rosie, a ballsy, low-income mom. Both are meeting with Nicole to express concerns for their children, but class warfare quickly erupts, and the kids' behaviour turns out to be a reflection of their parents' messed-up lives. A harried Nicole is dealing with troubles of her own, but she makes a brave attempt to discipline these overgrown brats. The Bigger Issue covers the same ground but digs deeper. Suzy, a novice middle-school teacher, has been called onto the carpet by the principal, Irene, for physically accosting a violent student. But when the boy's parents show up, it becomes clear that Jack and Maggie are a middle-class couple reduced to abject poverty; the real problem isn't their son or the school but a dysfunctional society. Together, Parents Night and The Bigger Issue comprise the first instalments in a projected play cycle similar to Walker's famous Suburban Motel. With an introduction by Toronto director Wesley Berger.

    Difficulties in Applying for Social Security Disability: Respectful Disagreement and Suggestions for the SSDI Application Process , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
    The current U.S. Social Security Disability Income system (SSDI) grants benefits for those who cannot continue to earn an income through employment, due to chronic or terminal illnesses they may develop, that disables them physically or mentally. This is certainly a wonderful thing and it has saved many of its recipients from losing their homes and reasonable quality of life for their families and even from losing their lives early, by providing opportunity for continued medical care that would otherwise be impossible for them to obtain. With this said, there are also those policies practiced or enforced by the social security disability program for example that cause deserving applicants to be denied (the main subject of this audiobook) and in some cases, less-deserving or undeserving applicants to be accepted by the same benefits program. I wish to point out some of these policies, within the chapters of this audiobook but I endeavor to do so, without appearing to be casting dispersions on the SSDI system as a whole, which is a wonderful program and a privilege for disabled citizens. I sincerely believe it is extremely important for legitimately disabled Americans to be cared for in a country that takes pride in helping those who are less-fortunate - not those who are looking for a free ride or for a chance to scam the system but who are truly and sincerely in need. It is my sincere hope that the words I offer in this audiobook, contain proper perspective and that nothing contained herein, is perceived as unnecessary ranting on my part but that my thoughts will rather add some intelligent, logical perspective to this very difficult subject. ungekürzt.

But the painful truth was now out for everyone to see - Byron ached for the mate he’d seen once more than 10 years before and that loss had affected every area of his life. And then, just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse, someone delivers a package to Byron’s house that changes the course of his entire life.Ivak Sellivik, bastard son of the Ice Dragon King, was known as “Ice” for good reason.

That was until he gets a frantic call from his brother.Sometimes plans need to be flexible and a person has to understand that wants and needs are two different things. When Byron gets taken, Ice must decide if he wants a mate in his life at all or risk losing his forever. But he has to decide quickly, because his enemies are closing in on all sides, and Byron’s not the only one in their sights. Throw in a summons from the Ice Dragon King and things get really hectic.

    Everybody Is Awful: Except You! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    A rant-ish memoir by the veteran stand-up comedian and former cohost of That Metal Show, with a foreword by Jim Norton. Twitter Trolls. Facebook Freaks. Instagram Exhibitionists. These are just a few of the creatures our technology-obsessed culture has spawned in its quest to simplify our lives. The madness is so universal now that everyone has dealt with it. You log in to Facebook, read a stupid post, and immediately want to tell your "friend" to go have relations with himself. Sure, social media may keep us connected, but it is a breeding ground for idiots, and these idiots have crowd-sourced a storm of useless information, corny jokes, and douchebag drama that's wasting our time and screwing with our peace of mind. Thankfully, popular comedian and television host Jim Florentine has a solution for those of us on the verge of bashing our iPhones to bits. In Everybody Is Awful, Florentine attacks awful people and awful situations with the same biting satire and cringe-worthy humor that made him famous on television shows like Crank Yankers, Meet the Creeps, and That Metal Show. Along the way, Everybody Is Awful takes listeners through the author's formative years, a time filled with rebellion and horrible behavior, to the crazy early days of his career as a stand-up comedian. Florentine also recounts how he developed an obsession with pranks that morphed into his uniquely vigilante style of comedy and made him one of the most legendary prank callers of all time.Florentine excels at channeling the core rage we all feel at the seemingly small annoyances of life, and his fans love the cathartic experience of his hilarious ranting and raving, a tradition continued in Everybody Is Awful. Acting as a de facto therapist, Florentine diagnoses awful behavior, shames awful people, and offers comedic takes on how to reclaim our lives from it all.  ungekürzt. Language: English.
