    On a cool, fall evening in November, 1966, five men lead by head gravedigger Kenneth Duncan set to work in a cemetery just outside of Clendenin, West Virginia. The grave that they were digging was to be that of Duncan's recently deceased brother-in-law. What happened next terrified the men and also kick-started one of the most enduring mysteries in all of cryptozoology. A creature, described as a brown, manlike figure ascended from a nearby grove of trees and dive-bombed the bewildered group, flying directly over their heads. They had a very good view of the creature. It was 'less than a hoot and a holler away' to borrow from the local vernacular. It stayed within view for a full minute, before disappearing just as suddenly as it had appeared. This was the first sighting of the creature that the press would soon dub 'Mothman'. ungekürzt.

    The Yorkshire Ripper was - is - perhaps the most famous British serial killer, aside from his Victorian namesake. His crimes gripped the nation over a five year period, starting in 1975. But behind the media image created for him was a man called Peter Sutcliffe, a normal man from the accounts of all who knew him. He first worked as a gravedigger, before moving on to regular jobs as a salesman, a factory worker, and finally an HGV driver. Nothing out of the ordinary. Sutcliffe's story is one of inept policing, media frenzy, and unrelenting brutality - and insanity. When initially apprehended, Sutcliffe claimed that he had been ordered to murder prostitutes by no less an authority than God himself. Because of his string of crimes, Sutcliffe has been imprisoned for almost the entirety of his adult life. He has no chance of ever being released. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Violet Ward.

    Trade and Taboo addresses the creation of disrepute in ancient Roman society. What made someone disreputable in the eyes of Romans, and how did this effect their everyday life? The book tracks the shifting application of stigmas of disrepute between the Republican period and the later Roman Empire (45 BCE-565 CE) by following various Roman professionals. Through the lives of funeral workers, town criers, tanners, mint workers, and even bakers, Bond asks how certain tradesmen coped with stigmatization. Along the way, Trade and Taboo explores the ins and out of artisan life in antiquity, from how to hire a gravedigger to collecting urine to tan the hides that would be made into leather. Above all, the book indicates how perceptions of disreputable tradesman could change over time. Through reflecting on the language and laws that Romans used to marginalize others, the author helps us reflect on practices in today's society. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lorelei King.

    The Online Stage presents Shakespeare’s most famous and most quoted play, a revenge drama which explores the inevitable conflict between conscience and justice, between morality and obligation. The tragedy arises, not from an obvious weakness in the character of Hamlet, but rather from his inability to deal with an apparently insoluble moral dilemma. The role of Hamlet is the longest (1,569 lines) and, according to many, the most demanding in the Shakespearean canon. Cast: The Ghost, First Player, Player, Captain, Sailor, Ambassador - Ron Altman Hamlet - Ben Lindsey-Clark Queen Gertrude - Michele Eaton King Claudius - Alan Weyman Ophelia - Libby Stephenson Laertes, Lucianus - Andy Harrington Polonius, Gravedigger - Peter Tucker Barnardo, Reynaldo, Prologue, Lord - Andrew Coleman Horatio - Ed Humpal Francisco, Voltemand, Player King, Messenger - Daniel Vimont Cornelius, Player Queen, Osric - Joseph Tabler Rosencrantz – K.G.
