The colorful characters in this retelling of Aesop's beloved fable will tickle the fancy of any child. The forest animals are beyond tired of Harry Hare's boasting. So what if he is the fastest animal in the forest? Unfortunately, Teddy Tortoise is the only animal willing to race Harry Hare, but everyone knows that tortoises are not famous for their speed. What follows illustrates the benefits that can come from having the courage to try. Listeners will also gain a new appreciation for the saying, “Slow and steady wins the race”. ungekürzt.

    Red Skelton: Scrapbook of Satire, Hörbuch, Digital, 399min
    Red Skelton's impressive gallery of comic characterizations didn't need to be seen to be hilarious!

To commemorate Skelton's centennial birthday, Radio Spirits presents this collection of previously uncirculated broadcasts. Three of these are rehearsal recordings, in which Red cuts loose with wild ad-libs and general tomfoolery that never fail to convulse both his regulars and the audience.

    Fibber McGee & Molly, Vol. 2: The Classic Radio Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 354min
    Fibber McGee & Molly had a long and successful run on radio from 1935 to 1959, featuring its creators and stars, married couple Jim and Marian Jordan. Living in the fictional Midwestern city of Wistful Vista, Fibber was an American teller of tall tales and a braggart, usually to the exasperation of his long-suffering wife, Molly, who tried to keep him out of trouble. Fibber's weekly schemes would be interrupted by, inspired by, and often played upon the people of Wistful Vista, a set of regular players and characters that were as beloved as the stars of the program. Life in their town of Wistful Vista followed a well-developed formula but was always fresh. The show began as a comic reflection of Depression-era America, but as time went on and the shadows of war came over the nation, the show again caught the mood of the country. World War II was fought on the home front in Wistful Vista as surely as anywhere else in America, but here they had the benefit of Fibber's somewhat addled perspective on life. The episodes in this collection are: "Molly's Ex-Boyfriend Comes to Dinner" 12/26/39, "McGee Builds a Dog House" 1/2/40, "Tickets to See Gone with the Wind" 1/9/40, "McGee's Car Is Stolen" 1/16/40, "Gildersleeve Girdle Show" 1/23/40, "Fibber's Old Blue Suit" 1/30/40, "Fibber's Birthday" 2/6/40, "Egyptian Good Luck Ring" 2/13/40, "Nothing but the Truth" 2/20/40, "Molly's Fur Coat and Fibber's Allergies" 2/27/40, "The Hall Closet" with guest Gracie Allen 3/5/40, "Make a Pal of Your Wife Week" 3/12/40. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Jordan, Marian Jordan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/008794/bk_blak_008794_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Stranger You Seek: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 818min
    The papers have called me a monster. You’ve either concluded that I am a braggart as well as a sadist or that I have a deep and driving need to be caught and punished. In the sweltering heat of an Atlanta summer, a killer is pushing the city to its breaking point, preying on the unsuspecting, writing taunting letters to the media, promising more death. Desperate to stop the Wishbone Killer before another victim meets a shattering end, A.P.D. Lieutenant Aaron Rauser turns to the one person he knows can penetrate a deranged mind: ex-FBI profiler Keye Street. "And you must certainly be wondering if I am, in fact, the stranger you seek." Keye was a rising young star at the Bureau until addiction derailed her career and her life. Now sober and fighting to stay so, Keye picks up jobs where she can get them: catching adulterers, serving subpoenas, chasing down bailjumpers, and dodging the occasional bullet. With multiple victims, little to go on, and an entire police force looking for direction, the last thing Keye wants is to be pulled into the firestorm of Atlanta’s worst nightmare. "Shall I convince you?" And then it suddenly becomes clear that the hunter has become the hunted—and the stranger she seeks is far closer than she ever dared imagine.An electrifying thriller debut, The Stranger You Seek introduces a brash, flawed, and unforgettable heroine in a complex, twisting novel that takes listeners deep into a sultry Southern summer, a city in the grips of chaos, and a harrowing cat-and-mouse game no listener will ever forget. ungekürzt.
