Uncovered: How the Media Got Cozy with Power, Abandoned Its Principles, and Lost the People (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B7Z2Z4DV | 2023 | 6 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 372 MB
Author: Steve Krakauer
Narrator: Steve Krakauer
Media critic and former CNN executive Steve Krakauer spotlights the problems of a news industry filled with geographically isolated, introspection-free, egomaniacal journalists. The fourth estate is supposed to be a conduit to the people and a check on power. Instead, we have a bunch of geographically isolated, introspection-free, cozy-with-power, egomaniacal journalists thirsty for elite approval. No one understands these problems (and people) better than Steve Krakauer, one of America's sharpest media critics. He has spent years getting to know some of the most influential players in the industry. This fascinating book is what he's learned-and why every American should care. In Uncovered, Krakauer gives listeners an extended peek behind the curtain of the media challenges in America today. The book dives deep into some of the most important and egregious examples of the elite censorship collusion racket, like how tech suppression and media fear led to the New York Post-Hunter Biden email debacle before the 2020 election.

The Psychology of Spies and Spying Trust, Treason, Treachery [Audiobook]

The Psychology of Spies and Spying: Trust, Treason, Treachery (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BWLYBVRD | 2023 | 8 hours and 14 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 238 MB
Author: Adrian Furnham, John Taylor
Narrator: John Taylor
The Psychology of Spies and Spying tells the story of the people involved in spying: the human sources (agents) who betray their country or organization, and the professional intelligence officers who manage the collection and reporting process. It provides a rigorous psychological analysis of the personalities and motivations of individuals involved in spying. This audiobook tells the importance of developing trust between agents and handlers, between agencies and their government and-ultimately-the public. It explains how agent handlers, operating in environments of complete secrecy, need to manage dark-side behaviors, because agents are selected for their access to secrets, not for their qualities.

The Paleozoic Era The History of the Geologic and Evolutionary Changes that Began Over 500 Million Years Ago [Audiobook]

The Paleozoic Era: The History of the Geologic and Evolutionary Changes that Began Over 500 Million Years Ago (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BWKZQQ28 | 2023 | 2 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 154 MB
Author: Charles River Editors
Narrator: Michelle Humphries
The current view of science is that Earth is around 4.6 billion years old, and the first 4 billion years of its development are known as the Precambrian period. For the first billion years or so, there was no life in Earth. Then the first single-celled life-forms, early bacteria and algae, began to emerge. It's unclear where they came from or even if they originated on this planet at all, but this gradual development continued until around four billion years ago when suddenly (in geological terms) more complex forms of life began to emerge. Scientists call this time of an explosion of new forms of life the Paleozoic Era, and it stretched from around 541 to 250 million years ago. In the oceans and then on land, new creatures and plants began to appear in bewildering variety, and by the end of this period, life on Earth had diversified into a myriad of complex forms that filled virtually every habitat and niche available in the seas and on the planet's only continent, Pangea.

The Nerva-Antonine Dynasty The History and Legacy of the Emperors Who Ruled the Roman Empire at Its Peak [Audiobook]

The Nerva-Antonine Dynasty: The History and Legacy of the Emperors Who Ruled the Roman Empire at Its Peak (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BWL2Z7LG | 2023 | 3 hours and 15 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 181 MB
Author: Charles River Editors
Narrator: Elias Anderson
"The Five Good Emperors," a reference to the five emperors who ruled the Roman Empire between 96 and 180 CE (Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius), was a term first coined by Machiavelli and later adopted and popularized by historian Edward Gibbon, who said that under these men, the Roman Empire "was governed by absolute power under the guidance of wisdom and virtue." This period of 84 years is generally regarded as the high point of the Roman Empire, at least after Augustus, but what is uncertain and a matter of ongoing debate is whether the five emperors were personally responsible for the situation and the accompanying prosperity enjoyed throughout the empire at the time, or if they were simply the beneficiaries of the Pax Romana, inaugurated by Augustus in the early part of the 1st century CE. In other words, historians have wondered whether anyone in power during those years would have enjoyed the same rewards.

The Great Oklahoma Swindle Race, Religion, and Lies in America's Weirdest State [Audiobook]

The Great Oklahoma Swindle: Race, Religion, and Lies in America's Weirdest State (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BFC6T2W7 | 2023 | 9 hours and 40 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 279 MB
Author: Russell Cobb
Narrator: Lloyd James
Look down as you buzz across America, and Oklahoma looks like another "flyover state." A closer inspection, however, reveals one of the most tragic, fascinating, and unpredictable places in the United States. Over the span of a century, Oklahoma gave birth to movements for an African American homeland, a vibrant Socialist Party, armed rebellions of radical farmers, and an insurrection by a man called Crazy Snake. In the same era, the state saw numerous oil booms, one of which transformed the small town of Tulsa into the "oil capital of the world." Add to the chaos one of the nation's worst episodes of racial violence, a statewide takeover by the Ku Klux Klan, and the rise of a paranoid far-right agenda by a fundamentalist preacher named Billy James Hargis and you have the recipe for America's most paradoxical state.
