The first is "Inventing A Game Before The Rain", and the second is "Shannon And The Snow Monkey".

Our second story, "Shannon And The Snow Monkey", is told in rhyme. The setting is a pooped-out gold town, which can't attract tourists because of a terrorizing snow monkey. Can Shannon, ‘the smallest person in that very small town', make a difference? Oh, there is a tufted wood twit in this tale.

That Mitchell and Webb Sound: Radio Series 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 161min
David Mitchell and Robert Webb star in the complete second series of their critically-acclaimed BBC Radio 4 show. Starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, from Channel 4's "Peep Show", That Mitchell and Webb Sound is a hilarious mix of satirical sketches and surreal characters that provides a fantastically skewed perspective on everyday life. Meet soporific late-night DJ Adrian Locket; Peter and Ted, commentators who reveal the murky underside of the snooker world; crime fighter Angel Summoner and his redundant sidekick BMX Bandit; and the obnoxious, incredibly posh person who is still unaccountably a waiter. In addition, there's Numberwang!, the maths quiz that makes very little sense, plus thrilling coverage of people you don't know buying houses and living in them, and thinking where to go on their holiday and then booking it. Zany and original, this consistently funny and imaginative series highlights the absurdity of reality TV, politics, chat shows, and milk helplines. Language: English.

The Way We Are: Studies in World Art Book 78 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min
This article is essentially a follow-up to a piece by The Jackdaw’s revered editor, David Lee, published in The Times on July 25, 2013. In it, he detailed just what a fiasco the Arts Council’s contribution to an otherwise successful Olympic year was, with £5.4 million spent and nothing to show for it. "Twelve months on," he noted, "[and] we can evaluate more clearly what we received for a sum that approaches the council’s entire visual arts budget. The short answer is nothing; nothing memorable or of enduring merit - it was all frittered away on trivia. Not a single painting, print, sculpture or ceramic in any gallery. Not a mural or stained glass window in any civic building. No worthy public sculpture. Not even a sprawling installation or soporific video destined for a gallery warehouse. The sum total is three crocheted lions at Twycroft Zoo and a boat made from 1200 donated wooden objects currently moored...somewhere." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: James Tavegia.

The Oz Files: Broometime Serenade: Australian Crime Thriller, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 534min
When authorities fail to identify human remains uncovered after a cyclone ravages the Western Australian coastline, Martin and Claire are sent to Broome, a popular holiday destination, far from major population centers. Posing as new arrivals, the SOC agents (offshoot of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization) attempt to merge with the locals in an effort to solve the baffling case and bring the killer to justice. Lulled by the soporific influences of the sun, sand and surf - known by the locals as the Serenade of Broome - time seems to have no meaning for the two agents, and the investigation drifts from one location to another as they follow a trail of bodies designed to confuse and distract them from their real business in this tropical paradise. Little do they know, their every move is being watched by an enemy who is both ruthless and deadly. A powerful, sadistic enemy who enjoys toying with others' lives before dispatching them in the most horrifying manner imaginable. As the clues lead them first one way then the other, they fall deeper and deeper into the trap set for them. By the time they uncover the truth, they will begin to doubt everything they know and face their greatest challenge to date. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bryan Zee.

The Podfather Trilogy - Season Four of The Ricky Gervais Show , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 117min
Here are three special episodes of The Ricky Gervais Show, featuring those doyens of the medium, the eponymous multi-award winning Ricky Gervais; Steve Merchant ( The Office, Extras); and the round-headed idiot savant, Karl Pilkington. Part I: HalloweenGhostly drivel abounds as Steve consults an SMS-based oracle, Karl experiences a kidney probing, Steve visits Bristol, Karl becomes a Godfather, and Ricky tells of some lighter moments at the morgue. (Includes a CD-giveaway contest that has already expired - sorry!) Part II: ThanksgivingKarl is unfamiliar with the American public holiday mentioned in the show's title and launches a campaign for a calendar-free society. Ricky explains the origins of Thanksgiving, prompting him to ask Karl who might be a good choice for a present-day pilgrim father. Steve brings up the sterling work mice are carrying out in the name of medicine. Karl's hypochondria comes to the fore as he describes a recent visit to a leg-rubber who prescribes a toe-based soporific. More readings from Karl's diary; UFOs; the will to live; Madeira cake; Relative merits of gay and heterosexual men's pornographic magazines; Oxfam's extended product lines; and Karl is concerned about the shortage of new sounds. Plus there's a (now defunct, obviously) competition to win copies of Karl's book and the new CD box set. Part III - ChristmasKarl reflects on the year past and singles out an unlikely highlight; Steve stocks up on yuletide essentials; Karl advocates an anarchic Christmas and complains about his domestic chores; Karl's diary draws to a close with revelations of bothersome footwear, cravat-luggage, not-so-current affairs, bees, beds, and worry-holes; and Ricky provides an emotional exit en route to the orphanage. ungekürzt.

AnthologyPERCEPTION , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 343min
Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both before we commit ourselves to either. (Aesop)Humanity is far from perfect - it is a simmering variety of emotions, passions, mistakes, and triumphs, all mixed up within the seemingly soporific mundanity of the day-to-day life. Together, the personal and emotional stories of individuals become a powerful exploration of what it means to be human. In "Looking for God....", readers with an open mind and curiosity will discover the story of one life through beautifully-written prose.This life story is told with the passion of a memoir, pulling you deep into experiences: as heroic as it is tragic, this anthology brings together A.W. Schade's best works on a highway deep into his psyche, motivations, and essential humanity.This anthology reveals the naked perspective and journey of one man: the trials and tribulations of a life shattered by the ugliness of an entrenched, unwinnable war in Vietnam to a strong survivor seeking to overcome his PTSD during the relentlessly televised destruction of Iraq.Through satire, suspense, controversy, wavering faith and a vigilant battle against the demons that haunt us all. Schade's writing captures the human spirit at its best and its worst: the impossible mélange that makes us all tick. The anthology includes the following titles: Looking for God: Within the Kingdom of Religious Confusion - Novel - God?"If I Fail: What Doom Awaits the Children?" - Short Story - Suspense "The Demons of War are Persistent: PTSD Can Disrupt Your Life Short Story" - Denial and Struggle with PTSD"The Greatest Father Short Story" - Satire"Not Alone Short Story" - A Perspective of Healing "We each see the world through a lens of all our experience, wrote the diplomat Madeleine M.
