    Living Room Legends: Chats with TV's Famous Faces , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    Millions of baby boomers world over grew up with the same electronic babysitter - the living room television. Stop any number of people on the street and ask them to do one of the following: recite the preamble to the Constitution, or sing the theme song to the Beverly Hillbillies. If history is any indication, the Hillbillies will emerge the conquering champions.Television was a special part of our childhood. It whisked us into worlds beyond our own. We were introduced to a flying nun, hillbillies who swam in a “cee-ment” pond, and a household of lovable green monsters who thought themselves the typical American family. We fell in love with these endearing characters and welcomed them into our living rooms with open arms, and to this day, their funny and familiar faces retain a special place in our memories and our hearts.As a classic television fan and historian, I wanted to delve deeper to find out more about these special friends and go beyond what had previously been written in articles and books to find the answers to questions that casual as well as diehard fans have always wanted to ask. I wished to capture their first-hand accounts and preserve for posterity the historical significance of their time on some of the most beloved shows in television history.Through this book, I hope that TV fans of all ages will share in my enthusiasm at attempting to capture these golden moments and savor the rich oral history of these small screen classics conveyed by those who were there - and that their memories and anecdotes will continue to enlighten, entertain, and endure for generations to come. ungekürzt.

    Summary of Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance: Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
    Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J. D. Vance is an account of the struggles of white working-class Americans in the post-industrial United States. The author offers a message of hope by telling the story of how he went from growing up poor in Ohio's Rust Belt to graduating from Yale Law School. James David (J. D.) Vance's family is of Scots-Irish descent. His people have a long history of enduring poverty and hardship. Since the 18th century in the United States, the Scots-Irish have been plantation workers, sharecroppers, miners, and factory and millworkers. Many settled or have roots in Appalachia. Other Americans sometimes consider J. D.'s people "hillbillies, rednecks, or white trash". As industrial manufacturing has declined in recent decades, hillbillies have been hit especially hard.

    Summary, Analysis, and Review of J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and a Culture in Crisis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    Please note: This is a key takeaway and analysis of the book, and not the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and a Culture in Crisis includes: Summary of the book A review Analysis and key takeaways A detailed "About the Author" section Preview: J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy is a memoir about his life growing up in Ohio as the child of a working-class family with roots in Appalachia. Vance uses his experiences in a dysfunctional family to talk about the problems with what he calls hillbilly culture. He says that hillbilly culture is mired in laziness, drug use, and learned helplessness. Hillbillies claim to be committed to hard work, but Vance believes they actually refuse to work at available jobs, miring them in poverty. He argues that hillbillies must recommit to institutions like the family and the church in order to escape poverty. Vance's grandparents, Jim Vance and Bonnie Blanton, were born in the town of Jackson in southeast Kentucky. They left in the 1940s when Bonnie, or Mamaw, became pregnant at 14. They moved to Middletown, Ohio, where Jim, or Pawpaw, worked in the steel mill. Their first child, that led them to leave Appalachia, was stillborn. Eventually, though, the family had three children, including a middle daughter, Bev, who became J.D. Vance's mother. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Gilboe.

When a methed-out vampire (and family friend) goes on a road-trip rampage, Hunter and his kin pack up the truck and follow the trail of corpses all the way to San Francisco.This reality-TV style story feels like a combination of Dog the Bounty Hunter meets Ghostbusters meets The Beverly Hillbillies. Hunter's war journal is a mix of tawdry laughs and gut-churning horror. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Sigler.

    Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min
    J. D. Vance grew up in the hills of Kentucky. His family and friends were the people most of the world calls rednecks, hillbillies or white trash. In this deeply moving memoir, Vance tells the story of his family’s demons and of America’s problem with generational neglect. How his mother struggled against, but never fully escaped, the legacies of abuse, alcoholism, poverty and trauma. How his grandparents, ‘dirt poor and in love’, gave everything for their children to chase the American dream. How Vance beat the odds to graduate from Yale Law School. And how America came to abandon and then condescend to its white working classes, until they reached breaking point.   Artwork used with permission from Netflix, Inc.   ungekürzt. Language: English.
