Title: The Most Interesting Man in the World Author: Vinnie Stigma Narrator: Howie Abrams, Vinnie Stigma Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 41 minutes Release date: October 29, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Born Vincent Capuccio on December 3, 1955, Vinnie Stigma—as his countless friends and fans lovingly refer to him—is the founder and guitarist of New York City's legendary hardcore band Agnostic Front. He's also one of the Big Apple's earliest punk rockers, having frequented such eclectic downtown haunts as Max's Kansas City, The Electric Circus, and of course, CBGB while it was still known as Hilly's on the Bowery during the early 1970s. The Most Interesting Man in the World stretches from Vinnie's upbringing in Little Italy amongst the tight-knit Italian families, as well as some prominent wiseguys, to teaming up with Cuban-born vocalist Roger Miret to carry punk's angrier successor across the globe; from no-show jobs in his youth obtained by people who 'protected' him, to lighting up some of the world's biggest stages. However, Vinnie Stigma is not your run-of-the-mill rocker of many decades. He has dabbled in cooking, professional wrestling, acting, martial arts, yoga, and other creative disciplines. He is a father and a cancer survivor who helped pioneer skinhead and tattoo culture in America, and has mentored hundreds of fledgling musicians and artists. The Most Interesting Man in the World is a journey through a life unlike any other. No one sees or experiences the world quite like Vinnie Stigma.

It is a powerful testament to resilience and the pursuit of dreams against all odds. Growing up in the 1950s in segregated Kansas, Alvenia Bridges dreamed of leaving home and seeing the world. Despite her destructive home life and the racially oppressive environment of her childhood, Alvenia graduated high school, left for L.A., and successfully navigated the predominantly white and male-run worlds of fashion and 70s and 80s Rock and Roll. From a chance encounter with race car driver John Von Neumann that jump-started her modeling career in Europe to her years working for famous musicians, Alvenia's unflappable resolve left her impressively mobile in the face of societal constraints. Alvenia had much to share with the world as she crossed paths and worked with a wide variety of people in the music and fashion industries, from long-term working relationships with Bill Graham, Roberta Flack, and the Rolling Stones, to momentary yet extraordinary encounters with Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Prince, and Tina Turner, to personal and professional interactions with Jerry Hall, Antonio Lopez, and Francesco Scavullo. Alvenia's remarkable life forged a path through glass ceilings and blocked doors that reads like a work of fiction.

Title: The Rainbow Age of Television: An Opinionated History of Queer TV Author: Shayna Maci Warner Narrator: Shayna Maci Warner Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: With the last decade's television boom across a multitude of platforms, American audiences are being treated to a cascade of shows that some have trumpeted as a second Golden Age. But something completely new is stirring, too—the Rainbow Age. For the first time in the history of American television, we have shows in which LGBTQIA+ characters have evolved from being an anomaly to being an almost given and celebrated presence on the small screen. But what more can queer TV do? Is each new queer character really breaking ground? And has the curse of the fictional dead lesbian finally been defeated? The Rainbow Age of Television tackles these questions and more as author Shayna Maci Warner tracks the history and evolution of LGBTQIA+ icons across the televised ages and into the future—from the first televised queer kiss (we think) to the shows that are making household names and heroes of queer characters. Warner uses original interviews with queer TV icons along with detailed history to investigate the constraints under which queer people have been allowed to exist on American television. The Rainbow Age of Television explores why queer people are so invested in—and conflicted by—the kinds of storytelling that TV has to offer. Above all, it's a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ shows, their characters, and their creators that define this new age in television.

Johnson Narrator: Jacques Pépin, Elizabeth Wiley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 47 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Julia Child's 20' x 14' kitchen was a serious workspace and recipe-testing lab that exuded a sense of mid-century homey comfort. Now, it has been on display at the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, for most of the past twenty years. Between lively narrative and detailed commentary on Julia's favorite kitchen gadgets, Julia Child's Kitchen illuminates the stories behind the room's design, use, significance, and legacy, showing how deeply Julia Child continues to influence food today. The kitchen contains more than one thousand parts and pieces—tools, appliances, utensils, furniture, artwork, knick-knacks, books, and bits of whimsy—all reflecting Julia's status as an accomplished chef, gastronome, delightful cooking teacher, television trailblazer, women's advocate, mentor, and generous, jovial friend. The kitchen's layout, design, and contents reflect Julia's philosophy of cooking as well as a period of social and cultural change in the United States, providing a platform for exploring such post-World War II themes as shifting attitudes about gender roles and domesticity or the tension between tradition and innovation regarding culinary tools, materials, cooking, and food itself. This book, a beautiful tribute to Julia Child's legacy, will be a must-listen for every home cook and Julia Child fan.

Cohan and the Broadway Stage Author: Elizabeth Titrington Craft Narrator: Tanya Eby Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Playwright, composer, actor, director, and producer George M. Cohan looms large in musical theater legend. Remembered today for classic tunes like 'You're a Grand Old Flag' and 'Give My Regards to Broadway,' he has been called 'the father of musical comedy,' and his statue stands in the heart of the New York theater district. Cohan's early twentieth-century shows and songs captured the spirit of an era when staggering social change gave new urgency to efforts to define Americanism. He was an Irish American who had the audacity to represent himself as the Yankee Doodle emblem of the nation, a vaudevillian who had the nerve to unapologetically climb the ranks and package his lower-brow style as Broadway. In Yankee Doodle Dandy, the first book on Cohan in fifty years, author Elizabeth T. Craft situates Cohan as a central figure of his day. Examining his multifaceted contributions and the various sociocultural identities he came to embody, Craft shows how Cohan and his works indelibly shaped the American cultural landscape. Informative and engaging, this book offers rich listening for Broadway musical aficionados as well as scholars of musical theater and American cultural history.

Title: [German] - We all shine on - John, Yoko und ich (Ungekürzte Lesung) Author: Elliot Mintz Narrator: Bernd Reheuser Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: 1972 installierte Elliot Mintz ein rotes Licht in seinem Schlafzimmer im kalifornischen Laurel Canyon. Wenn es zu blinken begann, wusste er: John Lennon oder Yoko Ono rufen an. Über einen Zeitraum von fast zehn Jahren telefonierten sie täglich miteinander, oft stundenlang. Elliot Mintz wurde zum engsten Vertrauten eines der öffentlichsten Paare der Welt. Er begleitete Yoko und John durch gute und schwierige Zeiten. Und er war in den Stunden, Tagen und Wochen nach Johns Ermordung an Yokos Seite. Elliot Mintz erzählt die Geschichte einer außergewöhnlichen Freundschaft; er nimmt uns mit in die weitläufige Wohnung im legendären Dakota Building in New York, auf spontane Roadtrips durch die USA und ausgedehnte Reisen durch Japan. Bis heute ist Mintz ein enger Freund Yoko Onos, die ihn beim Schreiben seiner Erinnerungen unterstützte - kaum jemand stand diesem außergewöhnlichen Paar in John Lennons letzten Lebensjahren näher. We All Shine On ist ein Muss für Beatles- und Lennon-Fans und bietet einen intimen Blick auf einen der meistgefeierten Künstler des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Es ist aber auch eine Geschichte über Freundschaft und darüber, wie sehr wir uns für diejenigen aufopfern, die wir am meisten lieben.
