Deacons Pod is Excellent

Revisado: 01-10-25

Deacons Pod is a great listen with interesting guests and thought-provoking conversations. I especially like hearing each guest answer the "threshold question."

Julie Andrews' aunt's cat

Revisado: 08-07-21

Holy details, Batman!

This is DETAILED memoir by the great Julie Andrews. In fact, in places, it's basically a diary. Perhaps, there are sometimes too many details. For instance, the reader did not need to know when her aunt's cat died.

But, overall, it was great listen. And I have no doubt historians and archivists were happy to learn so much about this fascinating patch of the 20th century.

Two notables:

- In this book, Julie Andrews rewrites the history of the authorship of the song "I Have Confidence," which is heard only in the film version of "The Sound of Music." Most histories say Richard Rogers penned the lyrics and the music. But, in this book, Julie Andrews gives more credit to the film's music director.

- Julie gives us a brief but important glimpse of conditions in Cambodia / Vietnam during her trip there.

Important Book

Revisado: 06-08-21

This book looks at the human frailties of the men and women in the U.S. Secret Service. I'm thankful for the history it records of this important part of the federal government.

My Favorite Podcast!

Revisado: 05-26-21

"The History of England" is always an educational and enjoyable listen!

You learn about English history but also about the way society and government grows and changes generation by generation.

Thankful

Revisado: 04-21-21

I'm thankful to Chasten for writing this book. It's a good account of this moment in our nation's history. Future historians of 1990 - 2020 are going to be grateful for the details of life and politics provided here.

This memoir also is going to be an inspiration to young readers facing hardships related to family, money, school, jobs and relationships.

Dear young readers: Chasten shows you here that things can get better, and you never know what unexpected twist may enter YOUR story.

A brilliant but disturbing story that shows how brutish life can be. A compelling listen.

I wanted to love this book. Because Dan Pfeiffer and I are really on the same page right now.

But, instead, I learned why the Obama administration lots its mojo so many times. And, I got an example of the Democrats' hubris that helped to deliver Trump.

Compelling Listen

Revisado: 05-25-18

This was a compelling listen. What a fascinating way to spend a year! Note: There is much more focus on the Hebrew scriptures here than a deep dive into living Jesus' teachings.
