Release date: 11-16-21

Summary:

Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon is unlike any artistic portrait youve ever heard before. Recorded over a series of 30 hours of conversation between Simon, Malcolm Gladwell, and Broken Record podcast co-host Bruce Headlam, the conversation flows from Simons music to his childhood in Queens, NY, his frequent collaborators including Art Garfunkel, and the nature of creativity itself. Gladwell and Headlam traveled from the mountains of Hawaii to Simons own backyard studio to record an artist theyve idolized since childhood.

Archival audio tracks and never-before-heard live studio versions are woven throughout the audiobook alongside distinctive commentary about Simons songwriting and beloved hits like The Boxer, The Sound of Silence, and Graceland. Between conversations, Gladwell deploys his signature blend of historical research and social science in an attempt to understand how a boy from 1940s Queens conjured near-perfect songs over an incredible 65-year career. Along the way he gathers reflections on Simons particular genius from the likes of Sting, Herbie Hancock, Renee Fleming, Jeff Tweedy, Aaron Lindsey, and Roseanne Cash.

The result is an intimate audio biography of one of Americas most popular songwriters. Brimming with music, and conversation, Miracle and Wonder is a window into Paul Simons legendary career, what it means to be alive as an artist, and how to create work that endures.

Title: Ciao Bella!: Six Take Italy

Author: Kate Langbroek

Narrator: Kate Langbroek

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:03:36

Language: English

Release date: 11-03-21

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Women

Summary:

Kate Langbroek’s deliciously funny and inspiring memoir about moving to Italy with her family to seek la dolce vita. Now including new bonus content: Kate's recipe for happiness – oh, and a recipe for the perfect Ragu alla Bolognese!

‘A wonderful story, beautifully written, filled with heart and humour’ Liane Moriarty (reviewing Ciao Bella! on 3pm Pick Up, KIIS 1065)

I wasn’t looking to fall in love. It just happened. There were moments, encounters as fleeting as feelings. Sometimes – tellingly – they emerged from chaos.

 

When Kate Langbroek first dreamed of moving to Italy, she imagined a magnificent sun-drenched pastiche of long lunches and wandering through cobbled laneways clutching a loaf of crusty bread and a bottle of wine, Sophia Loren-style, while handsome men called out ‘Ciao Bella!’

 

In the stark light of day the dream Kate shared with her husband Peter after an idyllic holiday in Italy seemed like madness. They didn’t speak Italian. They knew no one in Italy. They had four children. Kate also had the best job in the world on a top-rating radio show with her longtime friend, Dave Hughes.

 

But the siren song of Italy was irresistible. This would be the adventure of a lifetime, a precious opportunity to spend more time with their children – Lewis, Sunday, Artie and Jannie – and it came from a deep longing to seize life after they almost lost Lewis to leukaemia.

 

Ciao Bella! is about having a dream and living it as Kate shares the sublime joys and utter chaos of adapting to a new life in Bologna, what you discover about yourself when you are a stranger in a strange land, and how she fell in love. With a country.

 

Deliciously funny, insightful and often deeply moving, Ciao Bella! is Kate’s love letter to Italy and her family. It is also a glorious reminder of what Italians can teach us about living life to the full – and what really matters when the world goes to hell in a handbasket.
