Douglas Adams, the legendary author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is one of the most beloved authors of all time. 

When Adams passed away in 2001, he left behind a treasure trove of recordings from his personal archive—many of which have never been heard before. Now, thanks to the Adams Estate, for the first time, these rare materials are available to his fans and are featured in Douglas Adams: The Ends of the Earth. Along with interviews with some of his personal friends, collaborators, and admirers, including actors and comedians like Stephen Fry, David Baddiel, Griff Rhys Jones, Sanjeev Bhaskar, and zoologists Lucy Cooke and Mark Carwardine, this archival material combined with readings and reenactments of his work come together to form an immersive journey through the mind of one of the most beloved and visionary writers of our time.

In Fiasco: The Battle for Boston, journalist Leon Neyfakh (co-creator of the podcasts Slow Burn and Fiasco) unpacks the history of busing in Boston and brings to life the human stories behind the headlines by talking to the people who saw what happened with their own eyes. Combining historical analysis with firsthand accounts, Fiasco explores not only the impact of busing in Boston, but the larger questions about race, politics, and the struggle for equal education that continue to reverberate in America half a century later.

What she doesn’t expect is that she’ll end up in the hospital, examining close-up the way our cells listen to loneliness.
