Unproven: When Technology Advances and Magic Evolves, No One Is Safe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 863min
When Shadow, a powerless mage, chose exile to preserve family honor, he didn’t expect a mysterious call to defeat psionic, camouflaging dragons - nor did he expect them to offer him a glimpse into a life wielding a mage’s power. Surprises mount when a steampunk army invades his homeland and Shadow is tasked with uncovering the secret behind magic’s evolution while leading a youth team infested with at least one traitor. Distracted by an unwelcomed romance, losses mount as he stumbles through treachery, vampiric vines, ancient disembodied mages, and the legendary Mists of Ishmandool where few escape with their sanity. By the time Shadow announces he’s found the solution, it may be too late. Even if it’s not, it risks the complete annihilation of his people and it’s unproven. Unproven has drawn comparisons to Ursula Le Guin (Harry Potter’s biggest influence), Elaine Cunningham (the queen of dark fantasy and Forgotten Realms), and Fydor Dostoevsky (psychological godfather of Crime and Punishment). With strong female characters, a dark M. Night Shyamalan twist, dragons on steroids, a Brandon Sanderson-esque tight plot, and prodigious world building, Unproven is destined to satiate listeners who enjoy sword and sorcery, mythical creatures, ghosts, dark fantasy, psychological thrillers, and Dungeons & Dragons. ungekürzt.

Notorious , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 715min
In 1870s San Francisco, the fierce rivalry between a former gunslinger and a woman running from her past turns into a passionate, undeniable attraction in award-winning author Patricia Potter’s sexy and suspenseful historical romance Marsh Canton, the scion of a wealthy Georgia family, spent four years fighting the war of a divided nation. When he returned home, he found his family gone and his way of life destroyed. Turning his back on his heritage, he struck out for the west, achieving notoriety as a stone-cold gunslinger. Now, reinventing himself yet again, he arrives in San Francisco to take over the saloon he won in a poker game. Natchez born-and-bred Catalina Hilliard is haunted by her violent past. Dubbed the Ice Queen, she sleeps with a Derringer under her pillow and runs the elegant Silver Slipper saloon. With the help of the local law, she keeps a monopoly on the trade by running all her rivals out of town. She’s about to meet her match in Marsh Canton, who has also spent a lifetime running. But they can’t run forever, and the passion igniting between them has just changed the stakes. Even with the odds against them - and a dangerous man gunning for Marsh - it’s their last chance to make things right and choose love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gabra Zackman.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Art & Craft (English), Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, from sauerkraut to glass beads to bowties, word is that we’re going through a “makers’ movement” here in America. What are you making? In San Francisco, two radio producers are collecting stories in a project called “The Making Of..." Next, where's the line between craft, art and design? The head of research at London's Victoria and Albert Museum says, at heart, craft is about "showing your commitment to an idea." Then, so-called "outsider art" has been hot for a while now. What the art crowd calls it has changed, from l'art brut to self-taught art to vernacular art. Whatever you call it, the work of some these artists will join the cream of the contemporary art crop at the Venice Biennale this summer. After that, craft is all about handmade, right? Not any more. At one of the country's most well-respected craft schools, the pound of hammers and the hum of the potter’s wheel is harmonizing with zapping laser cutters and whirring microprocessors. Haystack Mountain School of Crafts is partnering with MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms to forge new means of making. Haystack Director Stuart Kestenbaum and MIT's Neil Gershenfeld give us the why and whatfor.Finally, in this final segment, we take a left turn to punk. Richard Hell co-founded the band Television in the mid-70s. He also created a look and sound that would eventually be called “punk.” [Broadcast Date: May 22, 2013] Language: English.
