SuperCouples: Chapter 4 - Partnering Through Life - Boring Brands , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 18min
Many long-lasting love stories often begin as college romances. The story of Aakriti and Anshul was no different. A go-getter from the start, Anshul was someone who had both the respect and confidence of his batch-mates. A romantic at heart, he was an ambitious guy who always aspired to do something that could impact the lives around him. Aakriti, on the other hand, was a fresher from a premier college of Delhi University. Their paths crossed at a ragging session where Aakriti was being introduced to the seniors and Anshul watched on, awestruck by her spirited air. Leaving no stone unturned to win her heart, the lover boy tried everything from midnight visits to hacking her emails. As destiny would have it, Aakriti finally fell in love with him, and they came to be known as one of the most memorable couples of their time. The attraction between them evolved into affection, and that developed into a strong relationship that defined the rest of their lives. However, their partnership was more than just about love for each other. She was a master of expression, and he was the king of technology. As they wanted to do something revolutionary in the realm of communication, they launched a start-up named Boring Brands. It offered services ranging from strategy designing to advertisement production for entrepreneurs kick-starting their businesses. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lavanya Krishna.

The Gospel of the Lord , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
The Gospel of the Lord by Marcion of Sinope. Translated by James Hamlyn Hill. Narrated by Denis Daly.According to Tertullian and others Marcion was the son of a bishop and was born at Sinope, in Pontus. He arrived in Rome in about 140 CE, bringing a scripture with him that he named "The Gospel of the Lord". Marcion described this not as a new gospel, but as that which Saint Paul had used and which he communicated to the churches he founded. In his early enthusiasm for the faith, Marcion bestowed a large donation upon the church at Rome, in which he aspired to a position of influence. However, due to his controversial views, he was later excommunicated as a heretic. He died about 170 CE. Marcion ignored traditions of doctrine and practice and rejected the principle of allegorical interpretation as it was applied by others to the Old Testament. He considered Saint Paul to be the only true apostle, and he condemned all others for having relapsed into Judaism. Marcion tried in vain to remodel the church at Rome in accordance with these views and set out to establish an organized ecclesiastical system of his own. He succeeded so well that by the fourth century Marcionite congregations were to be found spread across the Middle East and Europe. Although the Marcionite sect has long since been obliterated, Marcion remains one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis Daly.

The Great Agnostic: Robert Ingersoll and American Freethought , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
A biography that restores America's foremost 19th-century champion of reason and secularism to our still contested 21st-century public square. During the Gilded Age, which saw the dawn of America's enduring culture wars, Robert Green Ingersoll was known as "the Great Agnostic". The nation's most famous orator, he raised his voice on behalf of Enlightenment reason, secularism, and the separation of church and state with a vigor unmatched since America's revolutionary generation. When he died in 1899, even his religious enemies acknowledged that he might have aspired to the US presidency had he been willing to mask his opposition to religion. To the question that retains its controversial power today - was the United States founded as a Christian nation? - Ingersoll answered an emphatic no. In this provocative biography, Susan Jacoby, the author of Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism, restores Ingersoll to his rightful place in an American intellectual tradition extending from Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine to the current generation of "new atheists". Jacoby illuminates the ways in which America's often-denigrated and forgotten secular history encompasses issues, ranging from women's rights to evolution, as potent and divisive today as they were in Ingersoll's time. Ingersoll emerges in this portrait as one of the indispensable public figures who keep an alternative version of history alive. He devoted his life to that greatest secular idea of all - liberty of conscience belonging to the religious and nonreligious alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rich Miller.

Freud's Sister: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min
The award-winning international sensation that poses the question: Was Sigmund Freud responsible for the death of his sister in a Nazi concentration camp? The boy in her memories who strokes her with the apple, who whispers to her the fairy tale, who gives her the knife, is her brother Sigmund. Vienna, 1938: With the Nazis closing in, Sigmund Freud is granted an exit visa and allowed to list the names of people to take with him. He lists his doctor and maids, his dog, and his wife's sister, but not any of his own sisters. The four Freud sisters are shuttled to the Terezín concentration camp, while their brother lives out his last days in London. Based on a true story, this searing novel gives haunting voice to Freud's sister Adolfina - "the sweetest and best of my sisters" - a gifted, sensitive woman who was spurned by her mother and never married. A witness to her brother's genius and to the cultural and artistic splendor of Vienna in the early 20th century, she aspired to a life few women of her time could attain. From Adolfina's closeness with her brother in childhood, to her love for a fellow student, to her time with Gustav Klimt's sister in a Vienna psychiatric hospital, to her dream of one day living in Venice and having a family, Freud's Sister imagines with astonishing insight and deep feeling the life of a woman lost to the shadows of history. ungekürzt.

Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 594min
This program is read by the author. The never-more-necessary return of one of our most vital and eloquent voices on technology and culture, the author of the seminal Close to the Machine. The last 20 years have brought us the rise of the Internet, the development of artificial intelligence, the ubiquity of once unimaginably powerful computers, and the thorough transformation of our economy and society. Through it all, Ellen Ullman lived and worked inside that rising culture of technology, and in Life in Code she tells the continuing story of the changes it wrought with a unique, expert perspective. When Ellen Ullman moved to San Francisco in the early 1970s and went on to become a computer programmer, she was joining a small, idealistic, and almost exclusively male cadre that aspired to genuinely change the world. In 1997, Ullman wrote Close to the Machine, the now classic and still definitive account of life as a coder at the birth of what would be a sweeping technological, cultural, and financial revolution. Twenty years later, the story Ullman recounts is neither one of unbridled triumph nor a nostalgic denial of progress. It is necessarily the story of digital technology's loss of innocence as it entered the cultural mainstream, and it is a personal reckoning with all that has changed, and so much that hasn't. Life in Code is an essential audiobook toward our understanding of the last 20 years - and the next 20. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellen Ullman.
