    Tess of the Storm Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 680min
    Published in 1909, this classic romance is set in Ithaca, New York, the author's life-long home. Living in a squatters shanty, shunned by the 'upstanding' folk of Ithaca, Tessibel Skinner is nonetheless shocked when her father, a fisherman, is accused of murder. Barefoot, beautiful, and innocent, Tess sets out to clear his name, enduring hardship and narrowly escaping the viscous cruelty of those who would harm her. Written in the dramatic, heightened style of the times, the book offers a gritty look at poverty and social mores in turn-of-the-20th-century America, but this note of realism is nicely balanced by the against-all-odds romance that blossoms between Tess and the Cornell University man of her dreams. Interview with the author's descendent at the end. This project was made possible in part by Thomas Hoebbel Photography and Video, The History Center in Tompkins County, WICB, Michael Barakiva of the Hangar Theatre, Circus Culture, Civic Ensemble, Bruce Beem-Miller, and the Wharton Studio Museum. ungekürzt.

    To the Best of Our Knowledge, The Other Money, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
    In this hour, the end of money. Really? Are we really on the verge of a coming cashless society?Next, people do without money in many different ways – from simple bartering to using bitcoin on-line. In 2005, a group of parents in Madison did it by creating a babysitting coop. It’s simple. Colored popsicle sticks are traded per hour of babysitting. All families start with a limited number of sticks. So, once you’re out of popsicle sticks, you have to babysit to get more. Families are added to the group and problems are discussed at potlucks every 4 months. And it’s all organized on-line. Since 2005, the group has traded some 1,250 hours of babysitting worth more than 15,000 dollars.Then, Ithaca Hours is a local currency from Ithaca, New York, that is the oldest and largest alternative currency in the US. Founded in 1991, by Paul Glover, Ithaca Hours has an estimated circulation of several million dollars and has spawned about 80 imitators around the country.After that, “Before there was money, there was debt” - boldly states David Graeber in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years. Now, Graeber brings a lot to the table. He’s considered one of the world’s leading anarchists. He’s a professor of Anthropologyat Goldsmiths, University of London. And he’s one of the founders of that little thing called Occupy Wall Street. Greaber says all those experiences help him understand the role of debt in our lives.Finally, imagine living an entire year without money. And I mean no money. No cash. No credit cards. Nothing. Where do you live? What do you eat? How do you wash? Mark Boyle did it. And he found out it wasn’t so bad after all. In fact, he loved it. He tells his heart-warming, and funny, story in the book, The Moneyless Man. Steve Paulson spoke with Boyle about the transition from a life with money to one without it.

    The Iliad & The Odyssey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1778min
    The Iliad and The Odyssey are epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer, of which the written versions are dated to the 8th century BCE. Chronicling events in the Greek Bronze Age, this magnificent pair of poems forms the cornerstone of Western literature. If The Iliad is a classic war story, The Odyssey is symbolic of the individual’s journey through life. Achilles is the main hero of The Iliad which describes the final stage of the Trojan War, a conflict between a coalition of Greek city states and the city of Troy in Anatolia. The cause of the war was the kidnapping of Helen, wife of the King of Sparta, by the Trojan prince Paris. Longer and more complex than The Iliad, The Odyssey deals with the struggle of the hero Odysseus to return home to his island of Ithaca after the war. He faces and escapes numerous perils on the voyage, like the spell of a nymph, an intoxicating plant, a one-eyed killer giant, a hideous sea monster and the deadly sirens whose songs lure sailors to death. When Odysseus finally gets back to Ithaca, he faces a further struggle to reclaim his home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.
