The Pole Vault Championship of the Entire Universe, Hörbuch, Digital, 376min
Audible Originals and the team from RiffTrax present an intergalactic tale of intrigue and Olympic heroism in this multicast, sci-fi comedy adventure! Kara Everglades has just finished her first year of high school and is longing for an adventure. So far, her only option is an invitation from some upperclassmen to watch them race a bunch of bullfrogs in a ditch. To be honest, she was hoping for something a bit more exciting.Her grandfather, Cornelius Everglades, is a family legend (and a loose cannon), who founded his own island micronation. Unfortunately, the rest of the world refuses to acknowledge it (possibly because he’s gone about the nation-building process using wildly illegal and unethical means).When Cornelius shows up at Kara’s door needing her help and promising an adventure, Kara agrees to go along with his far-fetched plan, even though a) she thought Cornelius was dead, and b) his scheme depends heavily on Kara wearing a mascot costume.If Kara had only known about the giant alien spaceship currently speeding toward her grandfather’s country with the intent to subjugate and humiliate mankind, she might have reconsidered.Full cast of voice actors and performers: Bill Corbett, John DiMaggio, Jackie Kashian, Colin Mahan, Kevin Murphy, Mike Nelson, Eliza Skinner, Dulce Sloan, Reggie Steele, Paul F.

Marilyn Monroe, Hörbuch, Digital, 79min
Die neueste Ausgabe der Biographien-Serie "Hörportrait" befasst sich mit einem der größten Stars der Filmgeschichte: Marilyn Monroe. Von allen auf die Rolle des Sexsymbols reduziert, war sie innerlich zerrissen und ohne jegliches Selbstbewusstsein - ein Zustand, den sie mit immer größeren Mengen von Tabletten und Alkohol zu bekämpfen versuchte. Das Hörportrait beschreibt den Aufstieg Norma Jean Bakers zum Film- und Sexidol Marilyn Monroe, ihre gescheiterten Ehen mit Baseballstar Joe DiMaggio und Schriftsteller Arthur Miller, ihre Affären mit den Kennedys sowie ihren allzu frühen, bis heute unaufgeklärten Tod - und verschafft dem Hörer so Zugang zum "Mythos Marilyn".Mit dabei: Auszüge der größten musikalischen Erfolge aus ihren Filmen - von der Monroe selbst gesungen.Gesprochen von Sven Görtz und Lea Pfeiffer. deutsch.

Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1179min
Marilyn Monroe, born to deprivation and a series of foster homes, became an acting legend of the 20th century. She married famous men, Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller, and her many lovers included President John F. Kennedy. Her death, at 36, is a mystery that remains unsolved to this day. Anthony Summers interviewed 600 people for this book, which reveals unknown truths, some funny, some very sad, about this brilliant but troubled woman. First to gain access to the files of Monroe's last psychiatrist, he throws light on Monroe's troubled psyche and her addiction to medications. He establishes once and for all that she was intimately involved with John and Robert Kennedy, who probably covered up the circumstances of her death. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Baseball in '41 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
It was the year that Joe DiMaggio set his 56-game hitting streak, that Ted Williams batted .406, that the Dodgers and the Yankees battled each other in a classic World Series, and that America went to war. In this look at what he calls "the best baseball season ever", Robert Creamer skillfully intertwines all these epochal baseball happenings with an informal history of a pivotal period in American life, as well as with his own memories of what it was like to be 18 and a baseball fan when a looming war and the game he loved vied for his attention. For all who love baseball, Baseball in '41 makes it clear why the game is still the purest representation of the American Dream. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tom Parker.
