In Bed with Susie Bright 660: Vaginal Steaming: Giving a Literal Spin to 'Blowing Smoke Up Your Ass', Hörbuch, Digital, 32min, (USK 18)

Susie starts off the show with a light-hearted look at vagina steaming. What's that, you ask? According to actress Gweneth Paltrow, the way it works is that you "sit on, essentially, a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleans your uterus." This is an Americanized version of a centuries-old Korean tradition called chai-yok, and Susie loves to indulge in this spa treatment. She reads from a humorous essay by Laura Hopper Beck on the author's experience with one of these cleanses. Next, Susie looks at why Millennials are much more prudish than Gen Xers. A Daily Beast article by Emily Shire is filled with facts that Susie finds fascinating and startling. The Millennials are sexually tolerant; they just aren't into having as many partners as previous generations preferred. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie has a great new audiobook to recommend. Belfast Noir by Adrian McKinty and Stuart Neville delivers a warning that, underneath the fragile peace, darker forces still lurk. The large cast of extraordinary narrators makes this a must listen. Have a question or news story for Susie? You can send your confidential queries and comments to susie@susiebright.com.

Jailbird , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 524min

Walter Starbuck, a career humanist and eventual low-level aide in the Nixon White House, is implicated in Watergate and jailed, after which he (like Howard Campbell in Mother Night) works on his memoirs. Starbuck is innocent (his office was used as a base for the Watergate shenanigans, of which he had no knowledge), and yet he is not innocent (he has collaborated with power unquestioningly and served societal order all his life). In that sense, Starbuck is a generic Vonnegut protagonist, an individual compromised by the essential lack of an interior. Jailbird (1979) uses the format of the memoir to retrospectively trace Starbuck's uneven, centerless, and purposeless odyssey in or out of the offices of power. He represents another Vonnegut Everyman caught amongst forces he neither understands nor can defend. Written in the aftermath of Watergate, Jailbird is, of course, an attempt to order those catastrophic events and to find some rationale or meaningful outcome, and, as is usually the case with Vonnegut's pyrotechnics, there is no easy answer, or perhaps there is no answer at all. Starbuck (his name an Americanized version of his long, foreign birth name), in his profound ambiguity and ambivalence, may himself constitute an explanation for Watergate, a series of whose consequences have not, decades later, been fully assimilated or understood. The Nixon who passes across the panorama of Jailbird is no more or less ambiguous than Starbuck himself - a man without qualities whose overwhelming quality is one of imposition. ungekürzt.

Ordinary Heroes: A Novel, Hörbuch, Digital, 398min

Stewart Dubinsky knew his father had served in World War II. And he'd been told how David Dubin (as his father had Americanized the name that Stewart later reclaimed) had rescued Stewart's mother from the horror of the Balingen concentration camp. But when he discovers, after his father's death, a packet of wartime letters to a former fiancée, and learns of his father's court-martial and imprisonment, he is plunged into the mystery of his family's secret history and driven to uncover the truth about this enigmatic, distant man who'd always refused to talk about his war. As he pieces together his father's past through military archives, letters, and, finally, notes from a memoir his father wrote while in prison, secretly preserved by the officer who defended him, Stewart starts to assemble a dramatic and baffling chain of events. He learns how Dubin, a JAG lawyer attached to Patton's Third Army and desperate for combat experience, got more than he bargained for when he was ordered to arrest Robert Martin, a wayward OSS officer who, despite his spectacular bravery with the French Resistance, appeared to be acting on orders other than his commanders'. In pursuit of Martin, Dubin and his sergeant are parachuted into Bastogne just as the Battle of the Bulge reaches its apex. Pressed into the leadership of a desperately depleted rifle company, the men are forced to abandon their quest for Martin and his fiery, maddeningly elusive comrade, Gita, as they fight for their lives through carnage and chaos, the likes of which Dubin could never have imagined. In reconstructing the terrible events and agonizing choices his father faced on the battlefield, in the courtroom, and in love, Stewart gains a closer understanding of his past, of his father's character, and of the brutal nature of war itself. Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available. Language: English. Narrator: Edward Hermann.

Klassik und Kalter Krieg - Musiker in der DDR

In 1945, after the war had ended, the world split into East and West in political terms. The frontier between the two blocs cut straight through Germany and quickly became a dividing line between contrasting cultural systems. In the Soviet occupation zone, major opera houses and concert halls rose again from the ruins and long-established orchestras and choirs were revived. Once the GDR had been founded, the Socialist Unity Party took over responsibility for cultural affairs and quickly developed the idea of a nation of culture-loving working people in deliberate contrast to their portrayal of “Americanized, western capitalists softened by endless consumption”. Together with sport, classical music was used to advertise the merits of the GDR. Like all other areas of art it was instrumentalized for ideological purposes, and its protagonists - provided they displayed the necessary talent and were not regarded with suspicion by the state security service - often enjoyed extraordinary privileges. This combination of art and dictatorship created an environment in which music-making of world quality was able to flourish. Through case studies of individuals who lived under the system, the documentary explores the fates of both the privileged and the non-privileged, and delivers insight into the influence of the political system on artistic life. The film includes interviews with contemporary witnesses both from GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG).

Someone Take the Wheel

Check out a fine review of 'Someone Take the Wheel' in the Belgian online magazine Rootstime. If you're by chance in Italy... pick up a copy of the January issue of Italian music magazine 'Buscadero'. There's a nice review of my album on page 70. RootsHighway's Nicola Gervasini's review of 'Someone Take the Wheel' {keep in mind this was translated from Italian} There's a road, there's a car going towards the horizon, there's the American Myth in every line of his songs, there are those sounds covered with Mississippi mud that John Hiatt used to love, there's a big baritone voice talking with keyboards (only piano and hammond organ, don't worry about synthesizers), there is that sensation, that catch you since the first time you hear that record, to be at home again under your reassuring covers. Eyes fixed on Wade Lashley, the last of an American songwriters tradition that lives between folk and southern rock, and upon his Someone Take The Wheel. In 2005 this not-so-young Arizona artist had published a solo record (In From The Wilderness), the result of an activity that last since the 90's, and now he has done his maturity record. Probably Lashley have anything more to say than what Turn Around South Bound (with his Al Kooper-like organ) or Coffee Tea And Whiskey have already said, he only takes on a new life a good tradition without moving anything, and also in the better moments, he seems to have an ordinary pen caught in a right moment. It's not easy today to make roots-records without falling in repetition and mannerism, but if there's no much originality here, Lashley has enough personality to manage things in the right way. So it's fair if we choose Someone Take The Wheel between many others similar records, there is a perfect production (Jeff Lusby, a sound engineer) and there's no lack moments, except probably some repetitiveness in Drift Away. But songs like Fall or Someone Take The Wheel are part of this superior race of songs that you can put on a car-compilation with your best track-list of the moment, because these are tunes that only ask to be heard on the road. Tonight is the irremissible romantic ballad, River Song the classic texan rural ride as Joe Ely used to do, Waiting On The Rain is a patented folk registered by the americanized Graham Parker, Rootless Wanderer the inevitabile hymn to the hobos that close the record with some epic mood. And Someone Take The Wheel is the record that you already have in your CD's collection, but you still need again. (Nicola Gervasini)
