Episode 109; Movie Nights with the Reagans, Review

21/3/2018

Author Mark Weinberg opens the book and makes no apologies for being a fan of the Reagan's. His introduction sets out his stall and lets you into his reason for being creating this insightful look into a complex subject with the use of entertainment.

The rest of the book is narrated by George Newbern who does a great job navigating us through the narrative and keeping the tone on a neutral footing.

An intriguing look into the former President and first Lady.

Episode 80; Fire and Fury, Review

8/1/2018

Publicity can be one of the most difficult barriers to getting a book in to the hands of the public. Though Michael Wolff may have inadvertently found a way to become a best seller. Write about a man with a huge Twitter following in such a way that he publicly denounces your book before it is even released.

Fire and Fury in itself is a look at the inner workings of the American Government in 2017 and most of all President Donald Trump.

Within the review I look at the book as its own entity as well as the information it contains.

Episode 76; The Grouchy Historian, Review

6/12/2017

The Grouchy Historian: An Old-Time Lefty Defends Our Constitution Against Right-Wing Hypocrites and Nutjobs

I think by now we all the old adage of "History is a story told by the winners". In many ways this is true however as time has gone on society now has more and more references to fall back on meaning if you look hard enough you can find the "Whole" story.

The Grouchy historian is a book which tries to accomplish this by taking a look at the American constitution and unravel the mystique surrounding the document and its creators.

Ed Asner narrates the book as well as co-writing it with Ed Weinberger. His delivery is engaging and funny when it needs to be with a thick slice of sarcasm thrown in to highlight his point of view.

Episode 45; What Happened

2/10/2017

For many the 2016 US election was a shock and after spending nearly 17 hours with one of the candidates it's fair to say this is still the case (at least for me).

After listening to What Happened you feel that Hillary Rodham Clinton is not just a politician but also a Mother, Grandmother, campaigner, Lawyer and of course a politician. All these facets are explored within her book as she opens herself to the listener in what must have been a difficult book to write.

no matter who you voted for I think there is depth within the work that will appeal to all listeners and I highly encourage anyone who can to listen to What Happened.
