In this podiobook: As originally heard on the Dragon Page Wingin' It! Podcast: Duel of the Fates assembles highly diverse, iconic combatants from across the wide universe of speculative fiction and pits them head-to-head in meaningless contests of 5 silly categories. Hear! An exhibition duel between Darth Vader vs. Gandalf! Witness! Another exhibition of, um, something, between Molly (from Neuromancer) and Batman! Behold! The bracketed 8-character elimination tournament! 1) Tomi (from Spherical Tomi)2) Spider-Man3) Captain James T. Kirk4) Ash (from Evil Dead)5) Godzilla6) Starbuck from the original Battlestar Galactica (Dirk Benedict)7) Harry Potter8) HAL-9000 (from 2001) Who has the best look? Who has more Love Prowess?

Taken Liberty - A Tale from the Arbiter Chronicles - A free audiobook by Steven H. Wilson
In this podiobook: Aer'La only wants to be free...The Confederated Worlds are unparalleled as a society of free people, yet, somehow, slavery still manages to exist. Aer'La, a non-human, was bred to serve as a pleasure slave. Years ago, she escaped her masters and masqueraded as a human, joining the Confederate Navy, where she worked her way up to ship's Bos'n under the heroic Captain Jan Atal. Now, Aer'La's secret has been discovered by Atal's superiors, the media, and the world at large. Branded a sociopath, she learns that even a free society isn't willing to grant freedom - or justice - to all.Library Journal says: "The author of the Arbiter Chronicles, an award-winning audio drama, vividly brings to life a cast of compelling characters while telling a story that measures the cost of freedom. The far-future military setting should appeal to fans of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" series as well as the military sf of David Drake."

Consider The Elephant - A free audiobook by Aram Schefrin

Consider The Elephant - A free audiobook by Aram Schefrin
In this podiobook: The common wisdom is that the men who have attacked American Presidents - Czolgosz, Guiteau, Fromme, Hinckley, Moore, Oswald, Zangara - were disgruntled, disturbed loners. That wisdom includes John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, called a failed actor and a madman.But the truth is that Wilkes was the matinee idol of his time; and the attack on Lincoln was not the act of a maniac, but a part of a plan developed at the highest levels of the Confederacy.In "Consider the Elephant," by Aram Schefrin, the story of Wilkes'life and death is told by his brother, Edwin Booth, called "Ned." Ned was the greatest Shakespearean actor of his age, as was their father Junius in his era; and their brother June was an actor, too, though less successful than his brothers. The story is soaked in the ambiance of life in the American theater in the mid nineteenth century, and full of rich characters. It lays out in detail the path Wilkes took to the top of the celebrity heap, his growing involvement with the Southern rebels and the development in Richmond of the plot to kidnap - and later assassinate - the Union President.

All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity - A free audiobook by Lane Friesen

All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity - A free audiobook by Lane Friesen
In this podiobook: 'All Sorts of People - Ordered Complexity' is a collection of seven linked books:Book One presents personality differences - we may describe you, your family, your friends, in a great deal of detail. We develop symmetries between the various forms of thought. This will help us later as we map things onto the human brain.Book Two examines the energy engine of the mind, the source of our excitement. This form of thought operates strongly in one personality style and gives it 'charisma.' We'll look at multiple historical persons, using direct quotes chained together from published historical biographies. That way you know we aren't making this up.Book Three analyzes typical compatibilities and conflicts, and uses this information, with the symmetries developed previously, to generate a static model of the human mind. Surprisingly, there turn out to be only about eight common marriage combinations.Book 4 looks at a second personality style - it's the basis for sensitivity, and thus for human interaction and love. We examine its development, in persons from history, again using only direct quotes from historical biographies.Books 5, 6 and 7 are too sensitive to put on to audio. Thus, we leave them for you to read by yourself - they can be downloaded from our website at www.cognitivestyles.com.These seven books, taken together, provide a possible explanation for human consciousness - this is the Holy Grail of the social sciences. We leave it for you to judge how well we succeed.A series of accompanying videos for the lectures have been made available.

God Wears Many Skins: Sami Myth and Culture in Poems - A free audiobook by Jabez Van Cleef

God Wears Many Skins: Sami Myth and Culture in Poems - A free audiobook by Jabez Van Cleef
In this podiobook: The Sami, who call themselves "the real people," are nomadic indigenous people of Northern Scandinavia and adjacent areas of Russia. They practice an animistic religion which invests godlike qualities in animals such as the fox and the bear, and in certain features of the landscape. They believe that the sun (male) and the earth (female) mated to make a son, who then found a bride and fathered human beings. The earth and sun share our daily experience of living, as do all plant and animal creatures. This form of dynamic interdependence has been expressed over time in a wealth of songs and stories told by Sami shamans and wizards. The stories are characterized by great reverence for our natural environment, which can form a strong spiritual foundation for sustainable living. A selection of these stories is now for the first time adapted into modern English verse, written and voiced by Jabez L. Van Cleef.Jabez L. Van Cleef, who also wrote "All Is Beautiful: The Navajo Creation Story" for Podiobooks.com, has written poetic versions of spiritual texts from all of the world's great religious traditions. His voice in dramatic readings explores the fine distinctions between metered prose and music, by creating a spoken word sound environment that lulls the listener into a state of profound receptivity.

A Dancing Bear - A free audiobook by David Free

A Dancing Bear - A free audiobook by David Free
In this podiobook: What if getting the girl meant becoming a terrorist wet boy?On an unnamed university campus late in the 20th century, a young man named Fenton Bland joins a society of student Maoists in order to get near the girl he loves. But the girl turns out to belong to the chief Maoist -- and he turns out to harbor alarming aspirations in the field of revolutionary terror. And so Fenton, wearing a forcibly grown beard, finds himself propelled into a bizarre covert world of death lists, backyard bomb labs, untraceable handguns, and attempted wet jobs of wildly varying quality -- a world in which he must choose between losing the girl forever or else participating, perhaps very soon, in a successful terrorist atrocity. Along the way he must contend with a motley cast of characters, few of whom enjoy optimal grips on reality. There is Gus, the Maoist kingpin who in his quest to become a practising terrorist will draw the line at nothing, not even a car bombing ("I'm listening, mate -- provided you're not referring to my Kombi.") There is the fiery student radical Pamela Scratch, linked to Fenton by an infinitely regrettable sex act perpetrated in a sandpit at the age of five. And there is the incarcerated and patently guilty multiple murderer Neville Claude Aggot, whose spectacular escape augments the already long list of impending homicides that Fenton must at least try to avert as the novel hurtles, like a Kombi full of high explosive, towards its climax...

An Irregular Miscellany: A selection of essays and lectures from the Common University - A free audiobook by A.F. Harrold
In this podiobook: Throughout the 1920s the Common University provided a free and ready source of education to the working classes of England through various lecture series and the distribution of educative pamphlets in the East End. At the time it renowned as a philanthropic exercise noted more for its good intentions than its practice of asking for lecturers' credentials. In the mid 1930s it shut down amid a small furore over the nonsense it was teaching. It was assumed by all involved that that would be the end of it.Then, toward the end of the 1990s the English poet A.F. Harrold discovered a box of papers in the attic of an elderly stranger. After exhaustive investigations, leads followed and clues uncovered he discovered that what he held in his hands were lecture notes, reports of speeches, lessons and seminars from the Common University long thought lost by educational historians. "Gosh," he thought, "This stuff's jolly interesting."Looking into the history of the Common University he found that the lives of those involved in it were surprisingly exciting and he dramatised those events and those intrepid people in a series of novels that begin with The Curious Education of Epitome Quirkstandard. Now, however, he has decided to share some of the original documents that lead him to stories through an irregular series of readings. He's right, it is jolly interesting. If not entirely factually correct.

Basically, it's a win/win: I've got an audience that wants more crime stories and I've been fortunate to meet a lot of great crime writers who are happy to get more exposure via the web and podcasts. As I've been really lucky and successful to get in on podcasting early, I want to help other writers use these tools to promote their own work.I started podcasting my first crime novel, JACK WAKES UP, back in July of 2006. From there it's been a great ride to the Amazon charts, getting an agent, and selling JACK WAKES UP to Three Rivers Press. Along the way, I've been podcasting like crazy, putting out: Jack Palms II: This is Life, JACK PALMS 3 (All Caps), and the short story collections A Long Way from Disney I & II.If you've been a long time listener, welcome to back CrimeWAV.

I'm mentally being swapped back and forth with some guy in San Francisco.""What's not to believe?" Karen palmed up both hands. "So you're swapping bodies with another man."

"See, the difficult part was swapping bodies with someone from San Francisco."He stared into her big blues and one eyebrow rose."There's something else, isn't there?

Rendezvous in Majorca - A free audiobook by Ian Feldman

Rendezvous in Majorca - A free audiobook by Ian Feldman
In this podiobook: A beautiful woman attempting to conceal her past on the serene Mediterranean Isle of Majorca is clandestinely recruited into a secret organization controlled by Churchill and the British Right, to thwart the growing threat of Communism in Europe. . .Thrown into a cauldron of danger created by the KGB and unknown assassin's of MI6 and OSS at the beginning of the Cold War, she and a Nazi from that bygone era are the only links to a secret underground lab in eastern Germany once used to create Hitler's Super Bomb.Even as Britain and the United States grow ever more weary of the Soviet specter, a trinity of silent collusion evolves, hiding the fact that the Rosenberg nuclear spy trial was merely a misdirection; distracting the world away from the never revealed secrets stolen from East Germany in 1947.In the end, the life of the operative, Trixey Haygood, is on the line as the Nazi who falls in love with her is forced to decide between Trixey or exposing the menace he himself wanted destroyed, the Nation-Killing power of the H-bomb. This story is a beginning episode in the Cold War, and how these events allowed the Soviets to build and explode their own thermonuclear bomb within months of the first American effort on Eniwetok in November 1952. . . . REVIEWS:"**** (Four Stars) - "To tell the story well, Ian Feldman must deliver something beyond a strictly linear narrative and this he does with gusto. The female protagonist's role in the drive to stop the Soviets is revealed not just slowly, but like the multi-headed hydra it might well have been if the tale also happened to be true. . . . History tells us that once America had the Bomb, it aimed to deprive all others, especially the Soviet Union, from ever joining the club. Against this backdrop, Rendezvous is no mere meeting of fiction with fact.It is, instead, a meeting with destiny."Leonard Jacobs - "FOREWORD BOOK REVIEW" - "What happens when three super powers decide to hide a perilous secret? What happens if there is a weapon that is more destructive than the atomic bomb? Starting with these presumptions, Rendezvous In Majorca weaves an exceedingly tantalizing tale of deceit and intrigue. The novel creates a mix of Ian Feldman's extensive knowledge of historical evidence and military tactics in order to forge a suspenseful thriller. . . .Rendezvous is an alarming Cold War-era novel that is replete with high-speed chases, awe-inspiring weapons and shady political deals. . . the novel is worth being made into a movie. Feldman's semi-historical spy thriller is made interesting by its reliance on facts. This makes its premises thrilling and the conclusions that it draws much more terrifying."Mary Hallock - "BOOKWIRE REVIEW" - "Five Stars out of Five *****""A cocktail of diverse and believable characters - with their emotions, uninhibited passions, personal and political motives, fears, tragedies, bravery - all come to life as the thriller unfolds. After the first few chapters, you are totally hooked - and you have to keep turning the pages.By the time you have read each and every page including Feldman's Epilogs and uncovered the chilling picture, you come to this conclusion: Ian Feldman is a master of intricate detail - and a first class storyteller who knows how to hold you spellbound."United Kingdom - "ASK PROFESSORS BOOK REVIEW" - "Fast-paced, complicated and thrilling, Rendezvous in Majorca is a grand read, told in the well-remembered style of masters of fictional espionage in the last century." - Viviane Crystal "BOOK REVIEWS" -
