    American Legends: Laurel & Hardy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
    Mr. Hardy was beginning to forget things, but Mr. Laurel had no fear of losing his memory - as a matter of fact, Mr. Laurel never had a memory to lose. (Title card in Hog Wild) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. By the 1920s English comic Stan Laurel had been in dozens of films, and American Oliver Hardy had appeared in hundreds, but it was not until they formed a duo together in 1926 that they began to be noticed. Once they did, however, Laurel & Hardy became one of the most famous comedy teams in American history, with a career that spanned four decades and included over 100 combined shorts and feature films. Even today, nearly 60 years after their last performances together, Laurel & Hardy are still popular, alongside legends like The Three Stooges and Abbott & Costello, and their routines are still watched across the globe. Perhaps most importantly, Laurel & Hardy were forerunners of slapstick comedy and thus influenced those that followed. Their complementary styles of slapstick humor, with the thin, childish Laurel acting as a foil for the overweight and overly pompous Hardy, offered a template for others to follow, and the duo established several famous gags that other acts, like the Stooges, subsequently mimicked. ungekürzt.

    Vernon Dent: Stooge Heavy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 545min
    Vernon Dent. You may not know the name, but you've seen him in countless Three Stooges comedies, usually playing the gruff authority figure. After years of working in the shadows of Moe, Larry, Curly (and Shemp), as well as the great silent film comedian Harry Langdon, Vernon Dent is finally receiving the attention he deserves with this outstanding biography. Written by Bill Cassara (Edgar Kennedy: Master of the Slow Burn), Vernon Dent: Stooge Heavy contains never-before-seen photographs and a massive filmography. Vernon's story is told with the respect it deserves; it is funny, touching, and true. Once read, you'll never forget his name again. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Josiah John Bildner.

    Please Kill Me
    Dieses Buch erzählt die ereignisreiche Geschichte des amerikanischen Punk. Da die Verfasser ausschließlichAussagen von Zeitzeugen verwendet haben, liest sich das Buch beinahe wie ein Roman.In chronologischer Reihenfolge fügt sich nahtlos Zitat an Zitat, als säßen die Interviewten in einer großen Runde beisammen, um sich mit dem Erzählen abzuwechseln. Der Leser taucht ein in dieverrückte Welt des Rock'n'Roll, mit all ihren Freuden und auch Schattenseiten. Denn life's meist a bitch.Was die Musikrebellen wollten, war Authentizität, keine Märchenstunde. Die Berichte, Anekdoten und Erinnerungen von Leuten wie Wayne Kramer, Patti Smith, Jim Carroll und Dee Dee Ramone bilden ein schillerndes Kaleidoskop, jenen Teil amerikanischer Musikgeschichte betreffend, der in den Sechzigern seinen Anfang nahm, als Velvet Underground in Warhols Factory-Umfeld erste Konzerterfahrungen sammelten.Ebenso ausführlich wird über MC5 aus Detroit und deren "Kleiner-Bruder-Band" Iggy & The Stooges berichtet. Es folgen Stories über die Toy Dolls, Ramones, Blondie etc., und natürlich darf der legendäre CBGB-Club nicht unerwähnt bleiben. "Please Kill Me" ist ein amüsantes und informatives Lesevergnügen, das zudem wieder enorm Lust macht, seine alten Platten aufzulegen.

    Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Rock 'n' Roll in America's Loudest City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 606min
    From the Stooges and MC to Grand Funk Railroad and Ted Nugent, to the White Stripes, Eminem, and Kid Rock, and whole casts of other great bands and performers, Detroit has always produced louder, more rumbling, more subversive rock music than any city in the world. In Detroit Rock City, listeners get to hear the stories straight from the participants themselves: the singers, the guitar slingers, the fans, the reporters, the promoters, even the guys who hand-made amps to be louder and crunchier than the competition’s. This is the story, by the people who saw with their own eyes, made with their own hands, and heard with their own ears. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Steve Miller.

    A Good Place to Hide: How One French Community Saved Thousands of Lives in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min
    In the upper reaches of the Loire lies the secluded village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon. The whole village was honoured not just by the French state but with the extremely rare distinction of being named Righteous Among Nations by the people of Israel. How they earned this is one of the great modern stories of heroism and courage. The community pulled off the astonishing feat of saving the lives of 5,000 men, women and children whose very existence was deemed unpalatable by the Nazi occupiers and their Vichy stooges. Of those saved, approximately 3,500 were of Jewish descent. They achieved this through a long-running battle of nerves, keeping their heads down and pulling together. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Car Talk, I Love You, So Please Shut Up, November 19, 2011, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    This week on Car Talk, Sonia's husband Barry may be taking his anti-distracted driving stance a little too far. He refuses to talk to Sonia while driving, even when they're in the car together. Other families in crisis: Anita needs a cure for sister-induced car sickness, and Monique's kids want to get her sister's old Miata running, after it's been sitting with a dead battery for the last 10 years. Also, Reverend Dave thinks unholy thoughts about his stuck key; Patrice can't get her VW Bus to start, even after pouring Coke on the battery; and on Stump the Chumps, we find out if Aron's car no longer sounds like Larry of the 3 Stooges snoring. All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: November 19, 2011] Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/cart/111119/rt_cart_111119_sample.mp3.
