Rock god. Justice fighter. Rabble-rouser. Ivy Leaguer. An American renegade and fearless truth teller. Rage Against the Machine’s guitar virtuoso, Tom Morello, is many things; but perhaps, he himself, sums it up best: a one-man revolution.

When college friends Bob Schenkkan (Santino Fontana) and Jean McKenzie (Betsy Wolfe) reunited in New York City in 1941, lightning struck. However, with Bob shipping off to the Pacific War as a bomb disposal officer and Jean touring the nation as a USO actor, keeping this new flame alive while thousands of miles apart was a challenge.

As a young boy growing up on the outskirts of Dublin, the stage and screen legend sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and commentary on stardom, the actor-writer returned to Broadway and Audible to reflect on a life’s journey.

Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this-world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight…until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasureble talent: to unite and heal the world.

This Audible Original, performed on stage in front of a live audience, combines Wade’s greatest hits stories with entirely new material.

Ashling is every busy parent’s dream: a professional nanny with experience and a warm, sunny attitude.

Der Mini-Podcast "DIE WUT IN MIR" erzählt auf intime Weise die persönlichen Wutgeschichten von drei Frauen: Pari, Sarah und Elisabeth. Elisabeth, die die Last der Kindererziehung allein schultert. Pari, die mit Rassismus und traditionellen Rollenzuschreibungen klarkommen muss. Und Sarah, die ihre weniger qualifizierten männlichen Kollegen an sich vorbeiziehen sieht. In diesem Podcast sprechen sie offen und mutig über ihren Zorn. Dazu erklärt die Feministin Antje Schrupp, was die Gesellschaft davon hat, wenn ihre weibliche Hälfte berechtigtem Ärger keine Luft machen darf.

Come si dà voce ai personaggi di un audiolibro? Come si entra nello spirito di una trama?
