    In Bed with Susie Bright 659: China Says to Stop Hiring Strippers for Funerals, Hörbuch, Digital, 28min, (USK 18)
    A long-standing tradition in China of hiring strippers to perform at funerals is now illegal, but the shows continue to take place. Authorities want it to stop, but in mostly rural areas, it's still common to have scantily clad girls singing and dancing for the mourners. Susie reads from an interview with documentarian Marc Moskowitz, who has written about these funerals, as well as producing a film called Dancing for the Dead. Next, Susie talks about the importance of being a "cool Auntie". She was recently asked for sex advice by the child of a family friend. It got her thinking about the importance of having someone other than your parents, no matter how sex positive they are, to go to for guidance about sex. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie has a great new audiobook to recommend: You Can't Catch Death: A Daughter's Memoir by Ianthe Brautigan, who also narrates. Delving into good and bad memories about her dad, author Richard Brautigan, who was best known for his book Trout Fishing in America, Ianthe reveals much. Susie loves this book and has a sample for you to hear. Have a question or news story for Susie? You can send your confidential queries and comments to susie@susiebright.com.

    Into the Inferno (eBook, ePUB)
    In the tradition of Young Men and Fire and Fire on the Mountain, Stuart Palley's memoir Into the Inferno documents eight years of devastating wildfire in California, showing how fire can transform a landscape as well as a soul ...For nearly a decade, Palley has been on the frontline of fire. He has witnessed homeowners on the worst day of their lives. He's seen puddles of aluminum where cars were once parked. He's watched as 150-foot walls of flame cascaded down mountainsides and crashed into the Pacific Ocean. And he's captured, time and again, the tireless commitment of firefighters as they work to save lives and homes, in terrain where fire always seems to have the upper hand.In this memoir, Palley recalls how he went from learning to be safe on the fireline to a fire-savvy documentarian of wildfire and climate change. He covers some of California's largest, most destructive, and deadliest fires between 2012 and 2020, lugging his gear from the Wine Country Fire Siege to the Thomas Fire and ultimately to the Woolsey Fire in Malibu. And he shows how, in a relatively short span of time, fire season in California has grown into a perpetual crisis, requiring billions of dollars and thousands of firefighters each year.Ultimately, the experiences, the voices, the science shared in the memoir form an urgent call for climate action. Into the Inferno stands alongside Palley's photography to show just what kind of environmental tragedy we can expect if we do nothing. Stuart Palley is a photographer based in Southern California. He is the author of Terra Flamma: Wildfire at Night, and his work has been featured in National Geographic, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and many other publications.
