    Listeners will shed a tear at her losses and laugh at her predicaments in this sometimes hilarious, often heartbreaking, true story that gives a moving and often shocking insight in to the earlier life of the much-loved travel writer famed for her humor and her honesty.Susie recalls a 1950s childhood in post-war London's every shade of gray and the splendours of Africa as, with her glamorous mother and father, Susie boards a ship bound for exotic, technicolor Kenya. Then in its final decade as a colony, Kenya was peopled with larger-than-life characters who had helped to forge its identity. There, with the threats of the Mau Mau uprising ever-present, Susie's life disintegrates at break-neck speed into a web of jealousy, rejection, and casual cruelty.Each time it seems things cannot get any worse, they do, as Susie lifts the lid on her own, often shocking, behavior in her quest to protect herself and those she loves. Rebellious, lonely, and self-destructive, it is a small grey pony named Cinderella who saves Susie from herself and brings her the love she craves.

    Two very different women, the much married Mary Queen of Scots and the Virgin Queen of England had one fundamental thing in common, one thing that would change the course of history: each believed in her God given right to sit on the throne of England. The lives - and deaths - of these royal cousins were bound together in a tangled web of bloodlines, courtly intrigue and political manoeuvring. This dramatisation is based on historical documents, letters, reported speech and contemporaneous accounts. A vivid and compelling realisation of one of the most notorious events in history. This is the true account of the events leading to the execution of Mary Stuart. “It is a thrilling play about two women who are fighting for their lives” admits Kate, “It is a very potent and powerful story.” Joining film and television actress Kate O’Mara (who plays Mary Queen of Scots) is Patricia Shakesby as Elizabeth I. Patricia is best known for playing Polly Urquhart in Howard’s Way together with roles in Coronation Street, Sapphire and Steel and Brighton Rock. The audio also stars Giles Watling and Michael Cochrane.

    The story of Mildred Burke, the longest reigning champion of female wrestling, from the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and author of Kings of Cocaine.   In this in-depth account, journalist Jeff Leen pulls back the curtain on a forgotten era when a petite midwesterner used her beauty and brawn to dominate America’s most masculine sport.   At only five feet two, Mildred Burke was an unlikely candidate for the ring. A waitress barely scraping by on Depression-era tips, she saw her way out when she attended her first wrestling match. When women were still struggling for equality with men, Burke regularly fought—and beat—male wrestlers. Rippling with muscle and dripping with diamonds, she walked the fine line between pin-up beauty and hardened brawler.   An unforgettable slice of Americana, The Queen of the Ring captures the golden age of wrestling, when one gritty, glamorous woman rose through the ranks to take her place in athletic history.   “Jeff Leen has made a fabulous contribution to the sports-history canon. The Queen of the Ring is a marvelous evocation of an era, and a riveting portrait of a one-of-a-kind American moll.” —Sally Jenkins, author of The Real All Americans

    Soon after his fiftieth birthday, Steven Petrow began assembling a list of "things I won't do when I get old"—mostly a catalog of all the things he thought his then seventy-something-year-old parents were doing wrong. That list became the basis of this rousing collection of do's and don'ts, wills and won'ts that is equal parts hilarious, honest, and practical. The fact is, we don't want to age the way previous generations did. "Old people" hoard. They bore relatives—and strangers alike—with tales of their aches and pains. They insist on driving long after they've become a danger to others (and themselves). They eat dinner at 4 p.m. They swear they don't need a cane or walker (and guess what happens next). They never, ever apologize. But there is another way . . . In Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old, Petrow candidly addresses the fears, frustrations, and stereotypes that accompany aging. He offers a blueprint for the new old age, and an understanding that aging and illness are not the same. As he writes, "I meant the list to serve as a pointed reminder—to me—to make different choices when I eventually cross the threshold to 'old.'" Getting older is a privilege. This essential guide reveals how to do it with grace, wisdom, humor, and hope. And without hoarding.
