    The Best of Car Talk, Le Crouching Tiger, January 3, 2015, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
    This week on The Best of Car Talk, "60 Minutes" host Morley Safer turns the hot lights on Tom and Ray. Allegations of financial malfeasance? A class-action suit over bogus Puzzlers? No, Morley's just annoyed that he can't find parts for his beloved Peugeot, aka, the “Crouching Tiger” in his garage, and he blames Tom and Ray's relentless Peugeot bashing. Elsewhere, Jane is convinced her van's gas tank is shrinking; Peter killed his Accord's battery but can't understand why the alarm is still sounding; and, can Adrienne convince her daredevil husband that driving down mountain passes with the cruise control on is not good for her car, or their odds to live to see another ski weekend? All this, and lots more, this week on The Best of Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: January 3, 2015] Language: English. Narrator: Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi.

    This week on The Best of Car Talk, we kick off with a proposal that could revolutionize snow measurement, if it wasn't completely bogus.

Also, Kay's 38 year old daughter left mom's Explorer running all night, and Kay's wondering if she needs to blow out the car's engine or the cobwebs in her daughter's brain; 14-year old Matthew's struggles to wash his parents' car could be a valuable life lesson in how to get out of doing chores forever; and will Rush ever be able to get the smell of rancid butter out of his Land Rover?

    The Case of the Buried Deer: Hank the Cowdog, Book 73 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 141min
    Happy the Lab is back on the ranch, and it looks like he’s up to his usual good-natured, bumbling ways! And, it just so happens that he has wandered onto Hank’s ranch on a particularly exciting day: rain has finally come to their drought-stricken land, and - what’s even more exciting - radio reports claim that there’s a mountain lion on the prowl in their area!As the day unfolds, it appears that the mountain lion report was bogus, which is a good thing, since Hank already has his paws full surviving a bout of food-poisoning and a treacherous investigation of the machine shed, not to mention keeping an eye on Hap! Nevertheless, while Hank might find Hap a little exasperating at times, this latest adventure proves that a loyal lab is a great friend to have by your side when the going gets tough...then again, so is a cowdog! ungekürzt.

    Shark in the Housing Pool , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 594min
    Using forgeries and bogus identities, Matthew B. Cox - one of the most ingenious con men in history - bilked America’s biggest banks out of millions. Despite numerous encounters with bank security, state and federal authorities, Cox narrowly, and quite luckily, avoided capture for years. Eventually, he topped the U.S. Secret Service’s most wanted list, and led the U.S. Marshals, FBI, and the Secret Service on a three-year-chase, while jet-setting around the world with his attractive female accomplices. Cox has been declared “one of the most prolific mortgage fraud con artists of all time”, by CNBC’s American Greed. Bloomberg Businessweek called him “the mortgage industry’s worst nightmare”, while Dateline NBC described Cox as “a gifted forger and silver tongued liar”. Playboy magazine proclaimed, “His scam was real estate fraud, and he was the best”. Shark in the Housing Pool is Cox’s exhilarating, first-person account, of his stranger-than-fiction story. ungekürzt.

    Written in the Stars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 372min
    Bailey McMillan's life is a mess. The general public blames him for his former employer's nuclear pollution, resulting in professional disgrace. Humiliated, he takes a job as an editor at a science magazine run by his best friend, John. That part isn't so bad; Bailey is fond of John, who seems to find Bailey's abrasive nature amusing. Unfortunately, working for John also leads to writing an astrology column in exchange for getting free rein in some op-ed articles, and then being sued over one. The (totally coincidental) accuracy of the column offers opportunity for further professional disgrace if anyone discovers its author. And then Bailey digs himself a little deeper. In an attempt to prove astrology is bogus, he agrees to an experiment to date someone from each star sign. As if that weren't bad enough, Bailey's got a stupid crush on John, who stubbornly insists on a detailed breakdown of every date, bad and otherwise. Bailey's luck has to improve sometime, right? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Peter B. Brooke. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/030968/bk_acx0_030968_sample.mp3.

    Liars, Cheaters & Thieves: Detective Jackson, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
    Liars, cheaters, thieves. What does a man drugged and slashed to death by an unknown assailant have to do with a woman felled by a fatal heart attack after learning her bank account had been plundered? The cases seem as different as their scenarios - late night in a tavern parking lot and early the next morning inside a bank. But a troubling theory soon unites them: Was the first crime's murder victim the second crime's mastermind? There's a case to be made for the connection between slain Iraq War vet Rafel Mazari and the bogus veterans' charity that robbed Molly Pershing of her money and her life. But Detective Wade Jackson and his homicide team have even more damning evidence against Mazari's wife - including a hypodermic needle and a scalpel. But when an identical murder claims the victim's best friend, Jackson suspects a motive darker and more devastating than infidelity, greed, or love turned lethal. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Car Talk: The Greatest Stories Ever Told: Once Upon a Car Fire..., Hörbuch, Digital, 55min
    You decide to waste another perfectly good hour getting bogus car advice from the Car Talk guys when what should happen but some remark from the caller launches either Tom or Ray off topic and onto a story about The Sleek Black Beauty, their most recent wife, or their days at MIT. The Greatest Stories Ever Told gathers the tallest tales, the deepest digressions, and the most fabulous fabrications, revealing life for the Tappet Brothers, both in and out of the garage. Besides telling you more than you ever wanted to know about Tom and Ray, The Greatest Stories Ever Told will answer mysteries such as "whatever happened to Tommy's Dart?" and "why is Doug the subway fugitive?" Regardless of the answers (or their veracity), this collection from Car Talk is sure to make you laugh - and should explain, once and for all, why you shouldn't "drive like my brother".

    Beacon news reporter Lindsey Fox is on the verge of breaking a huge story of political corruption that will make her career and make her famous journalist parents proud - or she could be thrown in jail and fired. It really could go either way. Her recent streak of bad luck continues when Lindsey finds herself facing a bogus contempt charge - and attorney Ben Gillespie is appointed to get her out of the slammer. They once had a bad date of epic proportions - stilted conversation, food poisoning, burglary, towed car. Then there was the incident with the pepper spray. Lindsey never believed she'd see the sexy lawyer again. Ben can totally believe that Lindsey is behind bars. The woman is trouble. Now he has to get his new client out of jail, keep her out of the grasp of a crazed bike messenger and a shady P.I., help her save her job, and convince her to put down the pepper spray and give him another chance. ungekürzt.

    Are Revenue Sharing Article/Content Publishing Sites Beneficial?: Legitimate Opportunities for Authors , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 89min
    The revenue-sharing content website industry has grown into a multi-billion dollar a year online business. These are websites (sites) that offer interesting or needed information to readers who visit their online pages but who at the same time, sell advertising units, which appear as ads around each piece of content they display (i.e. articles, audios, photos or videos). This system can be very beneficial to content contributors but much of this depends on what websites one decides to register-with and the level of quality content submissions one has. In some cases, less-reputable or dishonest revenue sharing websites have done disservice to their contributors, by discontinuing revenue-sharing after gleaning massive amounts of content from them, by canceling contributor's memberships for bogus reasons or by unrightfully penalizing the revenue shares of members. In the chapters of this audiobook, I address these types of issues and offer recommendations for choosing revenue sharing sites that can be beneficial rather than negative experiences for content contributors. ungekürzt.
