Kenneth Branagh stars in BBC Radio 4's ambitious eight-hour dramatisation of Life and Fate, Vasily Grossman's epic masterpiece set during the Battle of Stalingrad. This powerful work, completed in 1960, charts the fate of both a nation and a family in the turmoil of war. Its comparison of Stalinism with Nazism was considered by Soviet authorities to be so dangerous that the KGB placed the manuscript under arrest and Grossman was informed his book would not be published for at least 200 years.

Following his massive Out Out Tour, Micky returns with an even bigger tour and even funnier recording. Recorded live at the Hackney Empire this superb performance shows Micky at the top of his game, let alone back in it!

Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 15 short stories written in the style of a classic kid’s tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach.

Over the course of the series, David eats his lunchtime sandwiches with children in a primary school and later goes to a street market to see manners - good and bad - in action. He explores where our manners come from with Professor Steven Pinker from Harvard University and the author Henry Hitchings. What do we mean by 'civility' and 'good manners' in public places? Why are people still pinching vicars' bottoms, and what can the state do to improve standards of public behaviour? And, David asks, how is the digital age changing our sense of public space?

Uta Hagen, one of the world's most renowned stage actresses, also taught acting for more than 40 years at the HB Studio in New York. Her first book, Respect for Acting, published in 1973, remains a best seller in print. In this brand new audio edition of her second classic book, A Challenge for the Actor, she greatly expands her thinking about acting in a work that brings the full flowering of her artistry, both as an actor and as a teacher.

John Waters Classic Screenplays Bundle is a forthcoming title from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

In Chronicles from the Couch, James Johnson dives headfirst into the timeless worlds of Seinfeld, Friends, and That '70s Show—unpacking what makes these shows more than just entertainment. With deep insight and undeniable humor, this book explores legendary moments like “We were on a break,” the chaotic genius of Kramer, the mythic Soup Nazi, and the soul of the sitcom archetype itself.

Carolin Kebekus nimmt sich selbst, die Gesellschaft und alle Mütter und Väter aufs Korn, denn beim Kinderkriegen und Kinderhaben haben offenbar alle ungefragt ein Wörtchen mitzureden. Warum Schwangerschaft und Geburt immer noch mit vielen Tabus und falschen Annahmen behaftet sind, was einem als Schwangere und Mutter so alles passieren und entgegengeschleudert werden kann, was man so hört und liest und ungefragt gesagt bekommt, weil es tatsächlich alle besser wissen – das beschreibt dieses Hörbuch mit einer gehörigen Portion Selbstironie und dennoch unbeirrbarem Blick.

The concept of motherhood, often idealized as the epitome of unconditional love and nurturing, has been twisted and perverted in various cinematic works to explore darker, more complex human dynamics. Led by Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson Award, and two-time World Fantasy Award winning editor and acclaimed film professor Danel Olson, the essayists introduce listeners to traditional portrayals of mothers in film and literature, establishing a baseline for understanding how diabolical motherhood deviates from the norm.
