    Eastern Meadowlark and Other Bird Songs, Hörbuch, Digital, 66min
    The clear whistled song of the Eastern Meadowlark can be heard in spring not only in the East of North American but also in desert grasslands of the Southwest. The song of this bird is of pure, melancholy whistles, which is simpler than the busier and flutey song of the Western Meadowlark. The black 'V' shaped patch on its chest also distinguishes the Eastern Meadowlark.  This ambient soundscape offers the Western Meadowlark's birdsong recorded in its natural habitat together with other birds, insects and other ground creatures. Language: English. Narrator: Meadowlark Eastern. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/mxbo/000828/bk_mxbo_000828_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Tales of the Lavender Menace: A Memoir of Liberation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
    Karla Jay's memoir of an age whose tumultuous social and political movements fundamentally reshaped American culture takes listeners from her early days in the 1968 Columbia University student riots to her post-college involvement in New York radical women's groups and the New York Gay Liberation Front to Southern California in the early '70s, where she continued in the battle for gay civil rights. We see her helping to organize the takeover of The Ladies Home Journal and “ogle-ins” - where women staked out Wall Street and whistled at the men.

    The Courtiers: Splendor and Intrigue in the Georgian Court at Kensington Palace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 642min
    Kensington Palace is now most famous as the former home of Diana, Princess of Wales, but the palace's glory days came between 1714 and 1760, during the reigns of George I and II. In the 18th century, this palace was a world of skullduggery, intrigue, politicking, etiquette, wigs, and beauty spots, where fans whistled open like switchblades and unusual people were kept as curiosities. Lucy Worsley's The Courtiers charts the trajectory of the fantastically quarrelsome Hanovers and the last great gasp of British court life. Structured around the paintings of courtiers and servants that line the walls of the King's Staircase of Kensington Palace - paintings you can see at the palace today - The Courtiers goes behind closed doors to meet a pushy young painter, a maid of honor with a secret marriage, a vice chamberlain with many vices, a bedchamber woman with a violent husband, two aging royal mistresses, and many more. The result is an indelible portrait of court life leading up to the famous reign of George III, and a feast for both Anglophiles and lovers of history and royalty. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Congruent Apprentice: The Congruent Mage, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 631min
    Young wizards coming of age in a time of war.... Will they be ready? Eynon was excited to leave his village and set off on his wander year. He’d turned 16 today, and hoped for at least a few adventures. At high noon, he arrived a crossroads and saw a shimmer of silver in the mud. It was a thin and dirty oval, about the size of his palm. He washed it with squirts of water from his goatskin, then marveled at what was revealed. It was a silver amulet, worked with complex, interlaced designs. An oval blue gem more than an inch across, with deep facets, was set in its center. The silver danced with reflected sunlight and the gem seemed to be filled with sparks. It was the most beautifully crafted thing he’d ever seen. Eynon noticed strange writing on the back of the amulet. As he raised it to eye level for closer inspection, one of his fingers inadvertently pressed a small stud on the edge. A tremendous blast of blue fire shot out from the gem on the opposite side, striking an ancient leafless oak and turning it into a flaming torch. Someone behind him whistled. Eynon dropped the amulet, afraid of what else it might do, and turned to see an old farmer, leaning on a shovel. “Well, young man,” said the farmer. “It looks like you’re going to need a wizard.” ungekürzt.

The Whistler was an ominous narrator who opened each episode with, "I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night.

The opening dialog was heard over the echo of footsteps and Wilbur Hatch's haunting signature 13-note theme, whistled each week by Dorothy Roberts. The stories followed an effective formula in which a person's criminal acts were typically undone by his or her own missteps. The Whistler narrated, often commenting directly on the action in the manner of a Greek chorus, taunting the criminal from an omniscient perspective. One of the show's trademarks was the ironic twist endings that helped serve as a payoff for the listener. Bill Forman had the title role of host and narrator the longest. Others who portrayed the Whistler included Gale Gordon, Lucille Ball's future television costar; Joseph Kearns, Mr. Wilson on the television series Dennis the Menace; Marvin Miller, soon to be television's Michael Anthony on The Millionaire; Bill Johnstone, the Shadow on radio from 1938 to 1943; and Everett Clarke. Episodes include: "Night Melody", "Seven Steps to Murder", "Safety in Numbers", "A Woman's Privilege", "Mavis Cameron Disappears", "The Lady and the Knife", "The Blank Wall", "Backlash", "The Black Book", "Fateful Friday", "Caesar's Wife", and "Juggernaut".
