    The N Word: Who Can Say It, Who Shouldn't, and Why , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 564min
    In The N Word, a renowned cultural critic untangles the twisted history and future of racism through its most volatile word.In 2003, the book Nigger started an intense conversation about the uses and implications of that epithet. The N Word moves beyond that short, provocative book by revealing how the word has both reflected and spread the scourge of bigotry in America.Asim claims that even when uttered by hipsters and hip-hop icons, the slur helps keep blacks at the bottom of America's socioeconomic ladder. But he also proves there is a place for this word in the mouths and on the pens of those who truly understand its twisted history: from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle to Mos Def. Only when we know its legacy can we loosen this slur's grip on our national psyche. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mirron Willis.

    Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching: A Young Black Man's Education , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
    How do you learn to be a Black man in America? For young Black men today, it means coming of age during the presidency of Barack Obama. It means witnessing the deaths of Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Akai Gurley, and too many more. It means celebrating powerful moments of Black self-determination for LeBron James, Dave Chappelle, and Frank Ocean. In Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching, Mychal Denzel Smith chronicles his own personal and political education during these tumultuous years, describing his efforts to come into his own in a world that denies his humanity. Smith unapologetically upends reigning assumptions about Black masculinity, rewriting the script for Black manhood so that depression and anxiety aren't considered taboo, and feminism and LGBTQ rights become part of the fight. The questions Smith asks in this book are urgent - for him, for the martyrs and the tokens, and for the Trayvons who could have been and are still waiting.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

Callie Chennault vaulted to fame on the nighttime soap Sumner Falls, but after a decade of playing the same role, she is ready for a new acting challenge. When Callie is attacked by a stalker on the streets of New York, she takes a leave of absence from the show and returns to her roots in Aurora, Louisiana, to heal both physically and emotionally and determine her next career move. Former professional baseball pitcher Nick La Chappelle has also come to Aurora to lick his own wounds after a messy divorce.

Their bond is tested when both Nick and Callie become the focus of a serial killer nicknamed Lipstick Larry. Can they outwit a murderer bent on seeing them dead and survive to build a lasting relationship? *This is a revised edition of Leave Yesterday Behind, which was originally released under the pen name Lauren Linwood.

    Baby for Sale, Hörbuch, Digital, 47min
    Dan Gabriel got bit by the comedy bug early in life. Dan grew up immersed in the world-famous San Francisco comedy scene where his mom took him to comedy shows when he was just in grade school. While other kids were trading Garbage Pail Kids, Dan was trying to make his friends listen to Steve Martin albums on his travel-case record player. In college, he stepped up on stage for the first time and was instantly hooked. Ignoring his studies, Dan spent his nights at any open mic night or comedy event he could find. After graduation he began opening for his heroes like Dave Chappelle, Mitch Hedberg, and George Lopez. Since then Dan has worked his way from opening act to nationally touring headliner. Now considered a veteran jokesmith, Dan has appeared on CBS’s Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Showtime, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, CBS’s Star Search, and NBC’s Late Friday, just to name a few. He was an award-winning writer for Thugs on Film on BBC America and the Winner of the L.A. Take Out Comedy Competition.

Today you can hear his podcast, The Best Medicine, on iTunes as well as his two critically acclaimed comedy albums, Giant Robot and Baby For Sale. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Gabriel.

    Insert Token, Hörbuch, Digital, 50min, (USK 18)
    Julian Michael is refreshingly not serious. His straightforward, true-to-life stories are riddled with playful left turns. Insert Token, Julian’s audio album release, delights in a natural, amusing tension, between actualized identity and ironic self-awareness. Julian is personal and revelatory until he isn’t, sarcastic and silly until he’s serious. Insert Token is a trip. Some jokes race towards you like a game of chicken, before bowling you over with pure audacity. Other jokes feel familiar, like you can see where they’re going from a mile away, only to blindside with hilarity. Julian provides a journey, a variety of moods, ideas, and emotions, just as great comedy can and should. Do not underestimate Julian Michael. A self-proclaimed “double minority”, the black and gay comedian is valuable, accessible, novel, just like, well, a token. Insert Token is immensely charming and conversational, direct and inviting. The recorded crowd responds in kind. It’s fun to hear the audience so locked in. They chirp and exclaim throughout, reacting to well-crafted ebbs and flows. You can tell the comic respects your intelligence but isn’t trying to go over your head. Julian is equally smart as hell and down to earth, provocative without pushing away. Insert Token invites you in, makes sure you’re having a good time before inserting something outrageous. A black, gay comedian with an attitude problem, Julian Michael is a minority among minorities. His life calling is to make people laugh until they think. Julian uses his platform to subvert stereotypes, inspire others, and to give his audience a break from the status quo. His role models include shit-kickers like Dave Chappelle, Paul Mooney, and Hannibal Burress. With a laid-back style highlighting his California roots (emphasis on high), Julian delivers unfiltered commentary about anyone and everyone around him.

    I'll Have What She's Having: How Nora Ephron's Three Iconic Films Saved the Romantic Comedy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 636min
    A backstage look at the making of Nora Ephron's revered trilogy - When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, and Sleepless in Seattle - which brought romantic comedies back to the fore, and an intimate portrait of the beloved writer/director who inspired a generation of Hollywood women, from Mindy Kaling to Lena Dunham. In I'll Have What She's Having, entertainment journalist Erin Carlson tells the story of the real Nora Ephron and how she reinvented the romcom through her trio of instant classics. With a cast of famous faces including Reiner, Hanks, Ryan, and Crystal, Carlson takes listeners on a rollicking, revelatory trip to Ephron's New York City, where reality took a backseat to romance and Ephron - who always knew what she wanted and how she wanted it - ruled the set with an attention to detail that made her actors feel safe but sometimes exasperated crew members. Along the way Carlson examines how Ephron explored in the cinema answers to the questions that plagued her own romantic life and how she regained faith in love after one broken engagement and two failed marriages. Carlson also explores countless other questions Ephron's fans have wondered about: What sparked Reiner to snap out of his bachelor blues during the making of When Harry Met Sally? Why was Ryan, a gifted comedian trapped in the body of a fairy-tale princess, not the first choice for the role? After she and Hanks each separately balked at playing Mail's Kathleen Kelly and Sleepless' Sam Baldwin, what changed their minds? And perhaps most importantly: What was Dave Chappelle doing...in a turtleneck? An intimate portrait of one of America's most iconic filmmakers and a look behind the scenes of her crowning achievements, I'll Have What She's Having is a vivid account of the days and nights when Ephron, along with assorted cynical collaborators, learned to show her heart o ungekürzt.
