More than most authors, NEW YORKER investigative reporter Patrick Radden Keefe matches the skills of a professional narrator, and it would be difficult to imagine one better for this audiobook collection of a dozen of his most memorable articles. Keefe's subjects include some of the world's worst criminals--arms brokers, drug traffickers, airline bombers, and one celebrity--the late television personality Anthony Bourdain. Keefe's portraits are indelible, his narration distinctive and very listenable. He also proves to be highly expressive in shaping his sentences and shading his tone. Most importantly, Keefe trusts his words to carry their intended weight without dramatizing. Here is today's highest level of journalism, presented with confidence, ease, and full impact.

Inspiring collections of Angelou reading her poetry. These selections showcase Angelou's smooth, lyrical voice and her warm vitality. Her innate rhythm celebrates her verse and offers the poems to listeners as they should be remembered. Occasionally Angelou comments between the selections, and occasionally she interjects a resonant laugh.

An approachable look at economics for laypeople.
Based on the NPR podcast of the same name, which was started in the early days of the 2008 financial crisis, this audiobook is designed to teach people how money works. Vignettes provide illustrative case studies of economic concepts starting from the most basic questions, such as what a bank is. With a casual approach, the hosts of the podcast present the material here. They explain economic principles, breaking down everything from the power of pricing to corporate disputes to inflation to finding love and much more.
