    Paul Behaving Badly: Was the Apostle a Racist, Chauvinist Jerk? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
    The Apostle Paul was kind of a jerk. He was arrogant and stubborn. He called his opponents derogatory, racist names. He legitimized slavery and silenced women. He was a moralistic, homophobic killjoy who imposed his narrow religious views on others. Or was he? Randolph Richards and Brandon O'Brien explore the complicated persona and teachings of the Apostle Paul. Unpacking his personal history and cultural context, they show how Paul both offended Roman perspectives and scandalized Jewish sensibilities. His vision of Christian faith was deeply disturbing to those in his day and remains so in ours. Paul behaved badly, but not just in the ways we might think. Take another look at Paul and see why this "worst of sinners" dared to say, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sean Runnette.

    If Nuns Ruled the World: Ten Sisters on a Mission , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
    Veteran reporter Jo Piazza profiles 10 extraordinary nuns and the causes to which they have dedicated their lives - from an 83-year-old Ironman champion to a brave sister who rescues victims of human trafficking. Meet Sister Simone Campbell, who traversed the United States challenging a Republican budget that threatened to severely undermine the well-being of poor Americans; Sister Megan Rice, who is willing to spend the rest of her life in prison if it helps eliminate nuclear weapons; and the inimitable Sister Jeannine Gramick, who is fighting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in the Catholic Church. During a time when American nuns are under attack from the very institution to which they pledge, these sisters offer inspiring, provocative counter-stories that are sure to spark debate. Overthrowing our popular perception of nuns as killjoy schoolmarms content to live in the annals of nostalgia, Piazza defines them instead as the most vigorous catalysts of change in an otherwise constricting patriarchy. ungekürzt.

    What do you get when you combine ball-busting feminists, the patriarchy, and a sexy Halloween? The scariest haunting of them all! Susie went to the best haunted-house ever, featuring gender-queer apparitions, ball-busting butchers, riot ghouls, and radical vampiric grannies. The show is the brainchild of artists Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell, who wanted to "pervert, not convert" all the sinners who love scary, nightmarish fun. Next, Susie discusses an article at Broadly (broadly.vice.com) that names a few new crowd-sourced online sexual confessionals. Places like The Casual Sex Project, How to Make Me Come, and Slop Sandwich let visitors read about other people's sex lives and share their own experiences anonymously. Susie says this is nothing like what Cosmo or Playboy has to say about sex. Finally, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie turns again to some juicy interviews from Transparent: Behind the Scenes. This audio series features interviews with some of the movers and shakers of the TV show Transparent. Susie's pick today is Marie Larkin, the costume and wig designer for the show.

    Bots and Beasts
    An expert on mind considers how animals and smart machines measure up to human intelligence.Octopuses can open jars to get food, and chimpanzees can plan for the future. An IBM computer named Watson won on Jeopardy! and Alexa knows our favorite songs. But do animals and smart machines really have intelligence comparable to that of humans? In Bots and Beasts, Paul Thagard looks at how computers ("bots") and animals measure up to the minds of people, offering the first systematic comparison of intelligence across machines, animals, and humans. Thagard explains that human intelligence is more than IQ and encompasses such features as problem solving, decision making, and creativity. He uses a checklist of twenty characteristics of human intelligence to evaluate the smartest machines--including Watson, AlphaZero, virtual assistants, and self-driving cars--and the most intelligent animals--including octopuses, dogs, dolphins, bees, and chimpanzees. Neither a romantic enthusiast for nonhuman intelligence nor a skeptical killjoy, Thagard offers a clear assessment. He discusses hotly debated issues about animal intelligence concerning bacterial consciousness, fish pain, and dog jealousy. He evaluates the plausibility of achieving human-level artificial intelligence and considers ethical and policy issues. A full appreciation of human minds reveals that current bots and beasts fall far short of human capabilities.

    Killer Honeymoon: Savannah Reid, Book 18 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 496min
    Now that plus-sized P.I. Savannah Reid has finally walked down the aisle, she's ready for a romantic island getaway with new husband Dirk Coulter. The trip is supposed to be a blissful week of rum drinks and sunshine - but finding a dead body on the beach can be a real killjoy. Welcome to the honeymoon from hell.... Savannah and Dirk were hoping for a little honeymoon excitement, but eye witnessing a cold blooded murder wasn't exactly what they had in mind. To their surprise, the recently deceased is none other than Amelia Northrop, the popular L.A. anchorwoman whose super sexy looks landed her a super wealthy husband. Savannah's no expert, but she's pretty sure Amelia won't be hosting tonight's evening news; she'll be the lead story. When the local police make it clear that they don't want Savannah's help, she decides to do a little digging on her own - and what she discovers could blow the case wide open. It seems Amelia led a far more twisted life than her cheery on-screen persona suggested, and crossed more than a few powerful people along the way. The question is, who hated Amelia enough to shoot her dead in broad daylight? Savannah isn't sure, but she suspects Amelia found out the hard way that fate has a way of settling old scores - and karma can be a girl's worst enemy.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

    N0thing: A Novel: A Sequel to DreamLand , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 824min
    N0thing is titled after Jordan (n0thing) Gilbert, a top tier international eSports champion. N0thing pushes through the boundaries of story, genre, and reality itself while redefining literary tradition by putting real life celebrities into a fictional story. The other real life co-star in this tale is renowned psychologist Dr. Stanley Krippner. Based in the near future, N0thing is the long awaited sequel to DreamLand, written by Pallamary and the late legendary DJ Ken Reeth. In DreamLand, the creators of computer generated dreaming hoped to conquer the stigma of death so people could die in vivid, pre-programmed dreams until the dream of DreamLand was shattered by the profit-seeking backer who made the miracle of programmed dreaming into the ultimate theme park. When a mysterious force took the dreams in unexpected directions, the boundaries between what is real and what is imagined became permeable. In the aftermath of the tragedy, the members of its surviving brain trust are coerced by the United States government to create a new dreaming platform based on the battle scenarios of traumatized veterans as a tool to help heal them of their PTSD, and as a revolutionary new gaming platform intended to recruit gamers and monetize the technology to fund the wounded veteran’s project. After winning what amounts to the Super Bowl of eSports, n0thing and his winning Seal Team Zero teammates, Renegade, Sureshot, Killjoy, and Striker are recruited as a literal “dream team” whose mission is to go into the nightmares of battle scarred veterans and rescue them from their traumatic memories while becoming ambassadors for a gaming platform that exceeds virtual reality with an experience that pushes the boundaries of reality itself. Science, technology, psychology, neurochemistry, and cutting edge brain research combine with shamanism, mythology, visionary experience, and the paranormal in this once and future archetypal tale. Pallamary says, ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ethan Fifield. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/179576/bk_acx0_179576_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
