Wesley Learns About Insurance: Featuring NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
Wesley is getting a ride to soccer practice in his uncle Rob’s new car, which Wesley had helped him buy with some great advice about credit. Suddenly, Uncle Rob accidentally backs into a tree!

Fortunately for him, NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Davis is teaching kids about finance at the local children’s club. With Mr. Davis’s help, Wesley learns what a premium is, how a policy works, what deductibles are, and how many things can be insured.

Car Talk, The Bread Also Rises, August 10, 2013, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
We all know Tom and Ray's dismal record diagnosing car problems, so this week on Car Talk we find out how they did with something a little smaller - a bread maker. Jeff from New Mexico is back for a round of Stump the Chumps to tell us if the Magliozzi recipe made his loaves come out looking less like hockey pucks. Elsewhere, Vivek is puzzled by the puddle that forms under his seat when he uses his air conditioner; Leslie's husband told her she's ruining her car by not straightening the wheels when she parks; and Kirsten wants to know what questions to ask the guys who will be storing her Honda while she goes to Kosovo for two years. Our first question? Can Tommy sleep in it when his wife throws him out of the house. All this and lots more, this week on Car Talk. [Broadcast Date: August 10, 2013] Language: English.

The Memory Code: The Traditional Aboriginal Memory Technique That Unlocks the Secrets of Stonehenge, Easter Island and Ancient Monuments the World Over , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 675min
In the past the elders had encyclopaedic memories. They could name all the animals and plants across the landscape and the stars in the sky, too. Yet most of us struggle to memorise more than a short poem. Using traditional Aboriginal Australian songlines as the key, Lynne Kelly has identified the powerful memory technique used by indigenous people around the world. She has discovered that this ancient memory technique is the secret behind the great stone monuments like Stonehenge, which have for so long puzzled archaeologists. The stone circles across Britain and Northern Europe, the elaborate stone houses of New Mexico, huge animal shapes in Peru, and the statues of Easter Island all serve as the most effective memory system ever invented by humans. They allowed people in nonliterate cultures to memorise the vast amounts of practical information they needed to survive. In her fascinating audiobook, The Memory Code, Lynne Kelly shows us how we can use this ancient technique to train our memories today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Louise Siversen.

The Roman Bracelet: Ye Olde Antique Shoppe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
While Rachel has stayed away from the Antique Shop and concentrated on her business, Peter has spent a lot of time there, making short trips to the past and cataloguing the things that have taken him there. What neither of them realize is that their activities are being watched, and when an estate agent contacts Rachel, wanting to negotiate a sale of the Antique Shop for a wealthy client, she is concerned that he won't take no for an answer. She is right; David Mills is very persistent, as he can see no good reason why Rachel won't sell. He's sure he can persuade her, given the right incentive and the right price, but when he follows her to the shop and sees its contents, he is even more puzzled. Wanting to prove his point, he has no idea what will happen when he slips an ancient bracelet into his pocket. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Rice-Oxley.

The Shunned House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
For many years, the narrator and his uncle, Dr. Elihu Whipple, have nurtured a fascination with an old abandoned house on Benefit Street. Dr. Whipple has made extensive records tracking the mysterious, yet apparently coincidental, sickness and death of many who have lived in the house for over a hundred years. They are also puzzled by the strange weeds growing in the yard, as well as an unexplained foul smell and whitish phosphorescent fungi growing in the cellar. There, the narrator discovers a strange, yellowish vapor in the basement, which seems to be coupled with a moldy outline of a huddled human form on the floor. The narrator and his uncle decide to spend the night in the house, investigating the possibility of some supernatural force. They set up both cots and chairs in the cellar, arm themselves with military flamethrowers, and outfit a modified Crookes tube in the hopes of destroying any supernatural presence they might find. ungekürzt.

The Rejected Writers' Book Club , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 523min
Librarian Janet Johnson is puzzled when she is invited - and practically dragged - to her first meeting of the Rejected Writers' Book Club. This quirky group of women would much rather celebrate one another's rejected manuscripts over cups of tea and slices of lemon cake than actually publish a book. But good friends are exactly what Janet needs after moving to the small town of Southlea Bay, Washington. Just as the ladies are about to raise a teacup to their five hundredth rejection letter, they receive bad news that could destroy one member's reputation - and disband the group forever. To save the club, Janet joins her fellow writers on a wild road trip to San Francisco in search of the local publisher who holds the key to a long-buried secret. As they race to the finish line, they'll face their fears - landslides, haunted houses, handsome strangers, ungrateful children - and have the time of their lives. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Mr American , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1749min
Mark Franklin came from the American West to Edwardian England with two long-barrelled .44s in his baggage and a fortune in silver in the bank. Where he had got it and what he was looking for no one could guess, although they wondered - at Scotland Yard, in city offices, in the glittering theatreland of the West End, in the highest circles of society (even King Edward was puzzled), and in the humble pub at Castle Lancing. Tall, dark, and dangerous, soft spoken and alone, with London at his feet and a dark shadow in his past, he was a mystery to all of them, rustics and royalty, squires and suffragettes, the women who loved him and the men who feared and hated him. He came from a far frontier in another world, yet he was by no means a stranger...even old General Flashman, who knew men and mischief better than most, never guessed the whole truth about Mr American. ungekürzt.
