The villain was a bit over the top, but no less so than what we see in Bond movies. I would have liked a more sultry Margo Lane like Penelope Ann Miller gave us in the Shadow movie. But that is how they seemed to direct these radio shows in the 30s. Overall, it was a good listen.

The Shootist is John Bernard Books, a man of principle and the only surviving gunfighter in a vanishing American West. He rides into El Paso in the year 1901, on the day of Queen Victoria's demise, there to be told by a doctor that he must soon confront the greatest Shootist of all: Death himself. In such a showdown against such an antagonist, J. B. Books cannot win. Most men may end their days in bed or take their own lives, but a mankiller has a third option, one which Books decides to exercise. He may choose his own executioner.

A surprisingly honest portrayal of the West
Reviewed: 01-05-25
Unlike romanticized western stories, this one was graphic and moral in an anti hero manner. Hard to describe what I mean in a short review. Regardless give it a try for a different take on the Wild West.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 270
Forty years ago, following the appointment of their professors to the federal bench, a tiny group of conservative law students at Yale Law School worried that their ideas might disappear from intellectual discourse in this bastion of liberal thought. They set out to fill that void. But they ended up achieving way more than that. Over the next few decades, the Federalist Society became an integral tool in the larger conservative movement, with political, judicial, and social repercussions ending in the conservative capture of the Supreme Court and the election of Donald Trump to the presidency.

I'm now a retired attorney and not a Fed Soc member. I tried to like this broadcast but it was too boring. The delivery and pace droned on. Maybe it got better but life is too short. Moved on to other listening materials.

In this illuminating Audible Original, Professor Wind Goodfriend explores the various facets of social psychology, including how we form personal identities, the importance of perceptions, the human need to be liked and respected, stereotypes and prejudices, and more. Social psychology can be both fascinating in its own right and, ideally, applicable to your everyday life.

First of all, the narrator provides an easy voice to listen to. She's well-paced and provides relevant examples of her topics. I'm pretty familiar with the field of social psychology, but I enjoyed hearing how she presented these topics.

Sit down with renowned professional filmmaker, author, and award-winning professor Eric R. Williams to unpack the elements of more than 250 “great” movies to gain insights and secrets that will change the way you view films. You’ll discover how from the moment you sit down, great filmmakers control every sensation the movie experience evokes: tremors or tears, goosebumps or giggles, and why it is that we invite them to do this.

There really are other movie experts to quote besides Roger Ebert. After a dozen of his “Finally I’d like to quote…” it got rather tiresome. That was especially true when the Ebert quote was sometimes not at all insightful. But that’s a very minor criticism. Overall, a worth while listen.

This professor is extraordinarily good with his knowledge and lecture style. I know that this topic is jammed with material that is too much for half hour lectures yet he presents it in a manner that is easy to digest and leaves the listener informed.

Tonight, Osmond Box, the reclusive yet wildly successful writer/director known for his completely surprising Broadway plays, is debuting his seventh and most highly anticipated production of his career: The Guilty. Nothing is known about the story, the setting, the premise, or even the actors involved. The first people to discover the truth will be the lucky ones sitting in those seats opening night.

Boring as anything

I couldn't finish it. I'm not sure where I stopped, but enough is enough. Melodramatic doesn't describe it. "Ham acting" is more appropriate. As for the plot, I lost interest obviously. The acting just was too much of a turnoff.

As darkness gathers, the sky is filled with frantic motion and maddening murmurs. In an effort to end the world, an unhappy, aging Native American shaman invokes the Hopi god of death. Those around him remain skeptical, dismissing him as crazy old man. Then they discover his mutilated, bloody body and soon other similarly disfigured bodies begin to appear. Horses, sheep, cattle - no living thing is safe. But what is causing the horrible deaths?

Like Moby Dick was to whales, Nightwing is to bats
Reviewed: 05-31-21
I got this book because I enjoy the author. This was certainly a major departure from his Russian crime novels. This seems to have been an extremely well-researched book on bats and vampire bats specifically. Also author delved headfirst into the culture of the Hopi tribe. I would be interested to see what is said about the authenticity of his comments on both bats and the Hopi tribe, but hopefully, he got things right. The story itself was quite fascinating and the bats made for exceptionally "good" villain characters. It took a while for me to care about the main hero character but he grew on me. The ending may have been a bit expected, but I'm glad it didn't end up in an apocalyptic fashion.

An engrossing tale
Reviewed: 03-02-21
I listened to this story while also listening to some non-fiction books and other hard copy readings that I needed to complete. But this book kept drawing me back for much of my free time. It was a story that presented in a factual manner what life could have been like for people on opposite sides of the war. The sadness and heartbreaks but also the strength of determination. It's not always easy finding WWII stories of strong women so it was good to find this book. The narration was quite good except I found the reader's interpretation of the "Joy" character a bit tiresome. But she wasn't one of the main characters. Overall, a book that I strongly recommend.

Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon. Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable.

Reviewed: 01-08-20
Told in a podcast style, the story appealed to me for several reasons but mostly because I remember the Apollo space flights. This is an important back story left out of most all renditions of the space history. Good to have it told and hopefully retold many times over.
