Summary:
'A good primer for anyone who wants to increase their empathy skills.'
QRCA
Its time to shape up your empathy muscle.
Empathy is in short supply these daysand its hurting all of us. From the rise in workplace tension and school bullying to increased anxiety and depression, a lack of empathy for one another is wearing away at the gears of society, grinding us down to the nubs. The very technology that is supposed to keep us connected is actually driving us apart, with face-to-face interactions on the decline and news filtered through an echo chamber that shelters us from other points of view.
But all is not lost. Just as physical workouts strengthen your body, there are ways to build up your empathy as well. In Tell Me More About That, brand strategist and thought leader Rob Volpe draws on his years of conducting thousands of in-home interviews with everyday people to illustrate the 5 Steps to Empathythe actions you can take to build a strong and reflexive empathy muscle.
Through humorous and moving accounts of interactions with folks from every walk of life, Rob recounts how what often began in a strangers house as a talk about brands and daily habits could blossom at any minute into a conversation about family, relationships, hopes, and dreams. Though he may have been invited into these homes as a marketing researcher, he left them as an expert on empathy.
And along the way, he discovered that there exists a set of common values connecting us all. Strip away the exterior wrapping of blue state/red state, straight or gay, black or white, and were all far more similar than we are different. With empathy, we can all learn and understand more than we ever imagined possible. Let the training begin.

| Tiny Humans, Big Lessons: How the NICU Taught Me to Live With Energy, Intention, and Purpose Audiobook by Sue Ludwig | 08 Mar 2022 | 05:55:00 | |

Title: Tiny Humans, Big Lessons: How the NICU Taught Me to Live With Energy, Intention, and Purpose
Author: Sue Ludwig
Narrator: Sue Ludwig
Format: Unabridged
Length: 05:55:00
Language: English
Release date: 03-08-22
Publisher: Macmillan Audio
Genres: Self Development, Health & Wellness, Women's Health
Summary:
What if you cared for your life the way the NICU cares for its patients?
As a neonatal therapist working with premature babies in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), Sue Ludwig understood that the more intentional and responsible she was with her energy and actions, the greater and more positive her impact was on her tiny patients. But while she spent her days caring for the most fragile of patients, attuned to their sensitivities, she realized she had been neglecting her own needs and desires.
In this remarkable book about personal and professional transformation, Ludwig shares her journey from burned-out caregiver to powerful changemaker, and the lessons about self-care and energy she learned in the NICU. Through real patient stories, reflection, and practical tools, she guides you toward living a more purposeful and intentional life.
Most of us have been conditioned not to pay much attention to the mere moments of our days. Were told to keep our eye on the prize, on the future, on the next goal just beyond the horizon. We measure our lives by the outcomes we achieve. College degree, check. Professional career, check. Spouse, check. Children, check. And yet, by the time weve collected most of those checkmarks, many of us dont feel all that vibrant. We might even feel like roadkill.
But just as the simple power of touch can have dramatic effects on the health and developmental outcomes of premature babies, the energy we bring to everything we do-no matter how small-impacts us, and our own personal development. By acknowledging and taking charge of your energy, you can start intentionally building an environment that supports, rather than depletes it. By taking baby steps, you can fill each moment of your life as you choose, and live the kind of life that reflects your intentions.

| Born in Chains: The Diary of an Angry Born-Free Audiobook by Clinton Chauke | 10 Jan 2024 | 08:31:14 | |

Title: Born in Chains: The Diary of an Angry Born-Free
Author: Clinton Chauke
Narrator: Tshamano Sebe
Format: Unabridged
Length: 08:31:14
Language: English
Release date: 01-10-24
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Biography & Memoir, History & Culture
Summary:
Just like in the squatter camp in Atteridgeville, there was no electricity in our new home. But here it was very different: it was safe. Only years later I figured out why the crime rate was so low in our village: there was nothing to steal.
Born in Chains is a first-hand account of living in abject poverty in South Africa. Clinton Chauke was born in 1994 into a Vatsonga household and has faced all the challenges of growing up at the edges of society: first in rural Limpopo, then in a village bordering the Kruger National Park, and finally in a squatter camp near Pretoria.
Navigating a world of racism and tribalism and confronting urban life as a country bumpkin, the author depicts the lifelines and pitfalls of a young life: going to school, coming to terms with tradition, religion and politics, becoming a man and ultimately finding his identity as a young black person in South Africa.
Uncompromising, honest and witty, Chaukes memoir is a story of hope and perseverance and of succeeding against all the odds.

Listen to Sense, a fascinating and revelatory audiobook on how we can unlock our five senses to vastly improve every part of our lives.

How can colour prime you for creative thinking? What kind of music helps you run faster? Which scents can help you fall asleep? Our senses have a powerful effect on how we think, feel and behave; yet we don't use them to their full potential.
For over a decade, multisensory marketing expert Russell Jones has been using the science of the senses to design products, brands and retail environments that tantalise our senses in revolutionary ways. In this incredible new book, Jones takes research from the worlds of neuroscience, experimental and behavioural psychology and beyond, and shows you how to live more multi-sensorially; paying attention to the sounds, scents, colours, objects, shapes and textures that constantly surround you, to profoundly impact and improve every aspect of your life.
Whether it's helping you feel energised in the morning, get the most from your work-out, be efficient at the office, avoid getting caught in the traps of savvy retailers or creating the perfect sensory background to enjoy your food with. And, finally, he helps you have the most restful evening and night's sleep you possibly can. Sense is a fascinating and revelatory look at how you can use your senses in a way you never have before.
A big-idea, pop-science audiobook in the vein of Thinking, Fast and Slow, Nudge and The Power of Habit.

Summary:
If Steve Biko were alive today, we would have a country that gladly embraces African culture as the dominant driving force for how society is organised ...
In 1968, two young medical students, Steve Biko and Mamphela Ramphele, fell in love while dreaming of a life free from oppression and racial discrimination. Their love story is also the story of the founding of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by a group of 15 principled and ambitious students at the University of Natal in Durban in the early 1970s.
In this deeply personal book, Hlumelo Biko, who was born of Steve and Mamphelas union, movingly recounts his parents love story and how the BCMs message of black self-love and self-reliance helped to change the course of South African history.
Based on interviews with some of the BCMs founding members, Black Consciousness describes the early years of the movement in vivid detail and sets out its guiding principles around a positive black identity, black theology and the practice of Ubuntu through community-based programmes.
In spiritual conversation with his father, Hlumelo re-examines what it takes to live a Black Consciousness life in todays South Africa. He also explains why he believes his father who was brutally murdered by the apartheid police in 1977 would have supported true radical economic transformation if he were alive today.

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Summary:
Benedict Cumberbatch and Louise Brealey read a love story in letters, played out against the backdrop of the Second World War.
Can you feel, as you read these words, that I am thinking of you now; aglow, alive, alert at the thought that you are in the same world, and by some strange chance loving me.
A small blue box opened in 2008 revealed a wartime world of love, longing and frustration. Inside were bundles and bundles of letters written neatly in pen, in pencil, on thin blue airmail paper or headed army notepaper. Envelopes covered in postmarks, redirections, censors stamps. A love affair in letters, between two people who barely knew each other, thousands of miles apart, in the middle of a war, with no idea when or whether they will ever see each other again.
On September 5th 1943, Chris Barker, a signalman stationed near Tobruk in North Africa, decided to write to a former work colleague, Bessie Moore, a Morse code interpreter at the Foreign Office back in London. The unexpected warmth of Bessie's reply changed their lives forever.
Chris and Bessie's love letters first appeared in Simon Garfield's book To The Letter. They toured literary festivals as part of Letters Live before being published in a book, My Dear Bessie.

Narrator: Dima Maputla
Format: Unabridged
Length: 06:29:55
Language: English
Release date: 01-12-24
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Biography & Memoir
Summary:
When I joined the struggle as a 13-year-old boy in Soweto, I would never have imagined that one day I would blow the whistle on a special kind of corruption that was destroying the party and the values I had been fighting for all my life.
In 2010, government spokesperson Themba Maseko was called to the Gupta familys Saxonwold compound and asked by Ajay Gupta to divert the governments entire advertising budget to the familys media company. When Maseko refused to do so, he was removed from his position and forced to leave the public service. The life of this once-proud civil servant would never be the same again.
Maseko, whose activism was forged in the Soweto uprising of 1976, is a product of the struggle, and has always been unfailingly loyal to the principles of the ANC. In 2016, when the party called on members with evidence of wrongdoing by the Guptas to step forward, Maseko was the only one to do so. For this courageous act of whistleblowing, he was ostracised, slandered and even threatened.
As a former senior state official, Maseko also offers a rare insiders view of the presidencies of Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma and of the inner workings of government.
Compelling and revelatory, For My Country shows what it takes to stand up for ones principles and defy the most powerful man in the country.

Summary:
Rebecca Front and Jeremy Front star in this series of spoof documentaries looking at the lives of some extraordinary and unforgettable characters.
We meet some truly remarkable women, such as controversial children's writer and wolf enthusiast Eleanor Fane-Gore; Media Integrity Czar Valerie Panther; MI5 whistle-blower Helen McKee; fashion guru Tish Watts; child star Mandy Fenwick; Irina Stonkus, soon to be the first woman on Mars; and National Treasure Dame Cicely Leyland.
In each programme our less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories, plus we discover some very odd things about the way they live their daily lives.
The interviews with each of these weird and wonderful characters is interspersed with interviews with real-life famous folk who have been affected by them in one way or another. Guests including Eamonn Holmes, Joanna Lumley, Clare Balding, Janet Street-Porter, Barbara Windsor, Andy Hamilton, Joe Lycett and Jeremy Paxman attempt to throw light upon the woman in question.
Incredible Women has a warmth and charm that keeps you listening, as well as lovely writing, so give it a go. The Observer

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Action & Adventure
Summary:
An 11th century Viking epic of love, revenge and faith, set in Iceland and starring the original Nordic Noir heroine, Gudrun.
As a young woman growing up in 11th century Iceland, Gudrun must forge her path through a world of unearthly beauty yet uncompromising harshness. The tale begins in her youth, with her childhood friends Kjartan and Bolli but the love the two boys have for Gudrun causes a deathly enmity between them that leaves her reeling.
Suspicious of how power and ambition are wielded by men, Gudrun is left feeling increasingly isolated. She longs for the freedom to live her life according to her own rules, beholden to no-one. This epic saga takes her on a journey away from her beloved homeland, risking everything to save her daughter.
An avenging angel forged from violence, Gudrun has all the complexity, vulnerability and single-mindedness of her successors, Lisbeth Salander and Saga Noren. In the ruthless world she inhabits, her steely determination and willingness to manipulate others in the manner of Borgen's Birgitte Nyborg is what keeps her alive.
Gudrun is based on the famous Icelanders' saga known as The Laxdoela Saga. Written in the 13th century, it tells of people in the Breiafjörur area of Iceland from the late 9th century to the early 11th century.
Starring Kate Phillips (Peaky Blinders, War and Peace) as Gudrun.
Directed by Sasha Yevtushenko (Series 1) and Gemma Jenkins (Series 2-4).

Summary:
A deliciously black satirical comedy about the dinner party from hell.
The fastidious host, Paige, decides to throw a dinner party in honour of her husband Lars, who is celebrating the success of his pop psychology book, Beyond Belief. She carefully plans a surprise menu that will mark the occasion, and anxiously checks with the waiter she has employed to make sure that everything is perfectly prepared. Her lucky guests include a post-feminist vegetarian artist, a distinguished microbiologist, a TV journalist and an uninvited guest who ends up staying for dinner. But it soon becomes apparent that the meal may contain some rather nasty surprises
Moira Buffini's outrageous comedy Dinner started life in the National Theatre's Loft in 2002, and became her first West End smash. In this production, adapted by the writer for BBC Drama on 3, Harriet Walter returns to the role she created: Paige, the hostess and architect of an evening which her guests will never forget. Two other original leads, Nicholas Farrell and Penny Downie, and four new cast members join her in this viciously black chamber piece about appetite, which will make you think twice about ever accepting another invitation to dinner.
Moira Buffini was nominated for an Olivier Award for Dinner in 2003, and won the Olivier in 2014 for her play Handbagged.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 13:43:29
Language: English
Release date: 01-12-24
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Non-Fiction, Law
Summary:
Are the courts the only arm of government that can fulfil the Constitutions promise? Is there too much interference by the courts in politics? Is law a weapon in politics? Is politics outside the law? Lawfare is the potent clash of these ideas.
This book is essential reading to bring forward the lessons from our past. A bold and unique collaboration between legal experts Michelle le Roux and Dennis Davis, it explores a series of landmark cases that came to define South Africas legal and political landscape. It examines how the law has been used and abused. Defining cases litigated in the apartheid past, in the constitutional era and right up to the recent days of state capture are examined.
This book is a response to populist attacks on the Constitution. It affirms that South Africas Constitution holds the promise of the law as one progressive tool to use in dismantling racial inequality, holding government accountable and constructing a free, dignified, equal and just society.

Summary:
Meera Syal stars as family liaison officer Jackie Hartwell in this thrilling police procedural
West Midlands copper Jackie Hartwell has one of the toughest jobs in CID: comforting and supporting grieving relatives in the aftermath of a serious crime. But there's much more to what she does than providing tea and sympathy. Part social worker, part savvy investigator, she needs to be able to win the trust of families, while simultaneously keeping a watchful eye on their behaviour and reactions. Because often, the suspect she's searching for isn't far from home...
As an FLO, she's closer to the people involved than any of her colleagues, and can investigate in a way they can't. With her combination of empathy, intuition and razor-sharp observation, she's often the first to get to the truth - but sometimes, the truth can have tragic consequences. In these 14 series, we follow Jackie as she supports those caught up in nightmarish situations, such as murder, fatal accidents, abduction or a missing child. Some are harbouring secrets, others have a guilty conscience - but they're all victims, and they all need her help...
Written by Scott Cherry (Babblewick Hall) and starring Meera Syal as Jackie, with Matthew Marsh as DI Peter Sanders, this captivating crime drama features a host of well-known actors including Barbara Flynn, Lizzy McInnerny, Robert Glenister, Amanda Root, Ben Onwukwe and Ayesha Antoine.

Summary:
Third series of the critically acclaimed comedy drama set in Alcoholics Anonymous, containing exclusive, unbroadcast material. Written by Pete Jackson and inspired by his own road to recovery, Love in Recovery stars Rebecca Front, John Hannah, Sue Johnston, Paul Kaye and Johnny Vegas.
Praise for Series 1 and 2
Bright, bold, original comedy by Pete Jackson with a sparkling cast The Telegraph
One of the finest casts on radio for yearsthe series is set to become a classic Radio Times
Love in Recovery follows the lives of five very different recovering alcoholics. Johnny Vegas is Andy, the sweet but simple self-appointed group leader. Sue Johnston plays straight talking Julie, who's been known to have the odd relapse here and there - and everywhere. Rebecca Front is the snobby and spikey Fiona, an ex-banker who had it all and then lost the lot. John Hannah is Simon, a snide journalist whos not an alcoholic he got caught drink driving, his boss made him attend the meeting, but he fell in love with Fiona and stayed and despite her best efforts, she fell in love with him too. Paul Kaye is Danno, a down and out two-bit chancer with a shady past but a lot of heart, whos desperate to turn his life around.
As we follow their weekly meetings, we hear them moan, argue, laugh, fall apart, fall in love and most importantly, tell their stories. And in series three, the group faces bigger highs and lows than ever before.
Writer Pete Jackson is a recovering alcoholic and has spent time in Alcoholics Anonymous. It was there he found, as most people do, support from the unlikeliest group of disparate souls, all banded together due to one common bond. As well as offering the support he needed throughout a difficult time, AA also offered a weekly, sometimes daily, dose of hilarity, upset, heartbreak and friendship.
Love in Recovery doesnt seek to represent an AA meeting exactly as it might happen in real life, but to capture the funny stories, the sad stories, the stories of small victories and of huge milestones, stories of loss, stories of hope, and most importantly, the many many highs and lows in the journey of recovery.

Summary:
A BBC Radio 4 full-cast production of one of the earliest plays by Alan Bennett
The 1970s are a time of change, but Labour MP George Oliver feels stuck in one place: distrusting the mawkish mentality of the young and fearing the encroaching life of the middle-aged, with little to look forward to but the imminent end of a not-very-interesting road.
Ten years into his second marriage, he is world-weary and dissatisfied with his social position and the public he deals with on a regular basis (Hes a socialist, but he doesnt like people observes his wife Polly). In his self-absorption, he cannot see that his wife is having an affair, his mother-in-law is dying and his friends and neighbours regard him as a joke. With his trademark wry observational humour, Alan Bennett renders his plight at once poignant and comic.
This bittersweet drama won the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy of 1971, and was described by the Sunday Times as a small jewel of bewilderment and regret. Keith Barron stars as George in this radio adaptation, with a supporting cast including David Rintoul, Emily Richard and Margaret Courtenay.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 09:42:21
Language: English
Release date: 06-17-21
Publisher: Penguin Books LTD
Genres: Fiction & Literature, Fairy Tales & Folklore
Summary:
Angela Carter was one of the most important writers of the 20th Century. A pioneer of British magical realism, her work was described by Salman Rushdie as 'without rival and without equal'. Her radical, inventive novels influenced countless writers, while her dark, sensual short fiction turned traditional fables inside out, giving women the power over their desires and fates.
Susannah Clapp, Angela Carter's literary executor and friend, introduces the productions and offers fascinating insights into Angela Carter's life and work.
This landmark collection includes five new dramatisation of stories from her iconic collection of fairytales retold, The Bloody Chamber. Alongside the title story are 'The Erl-King', 'Wolf-Alice', 'The Tiger's Bride' and 'The Company of Wolves', with casts including Sophie Cookson, Ariyon Bakare, Lily Lesser, Hannah Genesius and Adjoa Andoh. A sixth tale from The Bloody Chamber, 'Puss in Boots', is adapted by Carter herself and stars Andrew Sachs as Puss.
Also included is an adaptation of Carter's award-winning Nights at the Circus, starring Roisin Conaty as Cockney trapeze artist Sophie Fevvers, and the world premiere of her unproduced screenplay The Christchurch Murder. Based on the real-life story of two New Zealand schoolgirls who killed for love, it was an inspiration for the Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures, and stars Fiona Shaw, Nancy Carroll and James Wilby.
Accompanying these are three thrilling radio plays: the Gothic Vampirella (starring Jessica Raine and Anton Lesser); the hallucinatory drama-documentary Come Unto These Yellow Sands (featuring James Anthony Rose as patricidal painter Richard Dadd); and an exploration of the life of Ronald Firbank, A Self-Made Man (with Lewis Fiander as Firbank).
Finally, Liza Ross reads the short story 'Lizzie's Tiger', originally commissioned for radio, in which the four-year-old Lizzie Borden has an extraordinary encounter at the circus.
A bonus documentary, Third Ear: Angela Carter, comprises Paul Bailey's lively interview with the author, recorded shortly before her death in 1992. In it, she discusses her novel Wise Children, and examines the impact of Britishness, politics, and the oral tradition on her subversive writing.

Summary:
Ever wondered what sort of a police officer you might make?
Alfie Moore spent eighteen years on the Humberside police force before turning to stand-up comedy. In each episode of this live stand up show, he takes his audience through a scenario based on a real life case, and tasks them with deciding how they would have acted in the circumstances.
From drink driving to a missing gnome, road traffic collisions to the tricky subject of Stop and Search, not to mention a case in which you must imagine what it would be like if Bruce Lee came from Scunthorpe and had been hammering the kebabs for twenty years
Along the way Alfie spills the beans on what it's really like to be one of Britain's finest, tells us some great anecdotes about law breakers and makers that he's come across and gets his audience to divulge secrets about their own, sometimes less than strictly law-abiding lives.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 06:44:21
Language: English
Release date: 01-12-24
Publisher: Findaway Voices
Genres: Biography & Memoir, Law & Politics, History & Culture
Summary:
PRAVIN GORDHAN has been at the centre of many of the political storms that have torn through South Africas political landscape. He has been investigated by the Hawks, fired as finance minister, accused of running a rogue unit at SARS and come up against the public protector, to name a few.
Seasoned journalists Jonathan Ancer and Chris Whitfield take a magnifying glass to someone at the centre of this tumultuous period to try to understand the man behind the public image. They go back to Durban in 1949, when Gordhan was born, tracing the significant events and influences that shaped his life and prompted him to become involved in politics as a pharmacy student.
The authors interview former fellow activists to build a picture of the role Gordhan played in the struggle, including his detention and torture. It was during this time that he worked closely with Jacob Zuma, the man who would become president and Gordhans nemesis and, on the back of a bogus intelligence report, fire him as finance minister.
The book examines why President Cyril Ramaphosas right-hand man has been dragged into major controversies and made enemies such as public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, Julius Malema and many of those associated with corruption.
Joining the Dots is an in-depth, insightful, gripping and satisfying read about a man who found the courage to stand up to the dark forces of state capture.

Summary:
Sara Pascoe explores our modern social world though theories of evolutionary psychology and more.
In a brand new stand up show recorded in front of live audiences in museums, Sara asks how our past influences our modern lives, and how come we can still get emotionally hijacked by our primitive emotions?
Sara says: 'I've been obsessing about the ape behaviours visible in our 'civilised' human interactions for nearly as long as I've been plotting to get a Radio 4 series. I'm thrilled that I've been given the opportunity to use the latter to explore the former - I'm off to eat lice out of friends' fur to celebrate.'
'Always clever and sometimes exquisite.' The Independent
'Pascoe's lively mind teases out big questions with intelligence, silliness and self-deprecation to make a near-perfect show.' The Guardian

Irascible phonetics professor Henry Higgins makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can train Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle to talk like a lady and pass as a duchess at the Ambassadors Ball. As the day of reckoning approaches, can Eliza convince the assembled aristocrats that shes one of them? And what will become of her afterwards?

Centring on the shocking opening night of Pygmalion the first time that the word bloody' was used on the British stage it also explores the passionate love-hate relationship between Shaw; his leading man, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and his leading lady, Mrs Patrick Campbell, who played the 19-year-old Eliza Doolittle at the age of 49.
