Awkword Moments: A Lively Guide to the 100 Terms Smart People Should Know by Ross Petras, Kathryn Petras
Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 286 MB
Overview: A compendium of 100 words and phrases smart people use—even if they only kinda sorta (secretly don’t) know what they mean—with pithy definitions and fascinating etymologies to solidify their meanings. Your boss makes a joke about Schrodinger’s cat—which is something you’ve heard of but you’re a little vague about what exactly happened (or didn’t happen) with that cat. Or you’re reading a New Yorker article that explains that “Solecism slipped into solipsism into full-blown narcissistic project.” An excellent point . . . if you’re sure what “solecism” means . . . or, for that matter, “solipsism.” Language gurus Ross Petras and Kathryn Petras to the rescue! In the breezy and entertaining yet informative style of their New York Times bestseller You’re Saying It Wrong, they give you a brief rundown on words smart people should know—from the worlds of science and the arts to philosophy, and from broader topics like quantum physics and ontology to more specific ones like Plato’s cave and trompe l’oeil. They cover the Latin phrases we hear and read (prima facie, sui generis, and the like) as well as those that have entered our vocabularies from other languages (bildungsroman, sturm und drang). These are the words that, if you were asked directly, “What does this mean?” you might hem and haw and try to change the subject. After listening to this book, you won’t have to.

Death by Talons Did an Owl
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 314.3 MB 9 hrs and 47 mins
Overview: An outrageous theory for murder!

On December 9, 2001, Kathleen Peterson was found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her Durham, NC home. Her scalp was laced with deep incisions, and her blood was strewn from outside to inside the house.

The sinister truth of that night turned her murder into North Carolina’s most enigmatic criminal case, capturing media attention across the globe.

Police zeroed in on Kathleen’s husband, Michael Peterson, and charged him with murder.

But Was It The Truth?

A neighbor, Larry Pollard, came up with an alternative “killer”: He claimed an owl had attacked Kathleen outside her house. He said it sliced her scalp with its fierce talons and caused her to run inside, collapsing at the stairwell, and bleeding to death.

When the media heard about his theory, Larry was mocked. And Michael was convicted.

Now, 20 years later, author Tiddy Smith explores Pollard’s theory and questions whether law enforcement ignored, or even hid, evidence to convict Michael Peterson. And was an owl, in fact, the real killer?

The Good Wife The Shocking Betrayal and Brutal Murder of a Godly Woman in Texas by Clint Richmond Narrated by Stephen Bowlby
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 303.5 MB 11 hrs and 10 mins
Overview: Roger and Penny Scaggs seemed a poster couple for family values. Evangelical Christians living in booming Austin, Texas, in the mid-1990s, they were respected leaders in their church and community. As Roger diligently worked his way up the high-tech corporate ladder, Penny kept a pristine home and coached similarly devout young women on how to be perfect wives. But on a windy March evening, this godly woman met the devil head-on. And when the police discovered her lifeless body—repeatedly bludgeoned with a lead pipe, then mutilated with a knife from her own spotless kitchen—they were shocked by the rage and savagery behind her slaying.

The Good Wife is a startling true story of greed, hatred, betrayal, and an unimaginable murder—a tale of the dark decay that can be hidden behind a façade of saintliness when a marriage seemingly made in heaven descends into hell.

Yearning (2nd Edition) Race, Gender, and Cultural Politics by Bell Hooks Narrated by Adenrele Ojo
Requirements: .MP3 reader, 303.8 MB 11 hrs and 7 mins
Overview: For bell hooks, the best cultural criticism sees no need to separate politics from the pleasure of reading. Yearning collects together some of hooks’s classic and early pieces of cultural criticism from the ’80s. Addressing topics like pedagogy, postmodernism, and politics, hooks examines a variety of cultural artifacts, from Spike Lee’s film Do the Right Thing and Wim Wenders’s film Wings of Desire to the writings of Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison. The result is a poignant collection of essays which, like all of hooks’s work, is above all else concerned with transforming oppressive structures of domination.
