Sex. The word makes some people giggle or blush, while others may draw back in discomfort. So, why do we find it so difficult to talk openly about sex? Much of our reticence in discussing and acknowledging the realities of sex comes, at least in part, from a unique time and place: medieval Europe. In the 12 episodes of Sex in the Middle Ages, Professor Jennifer McNabb and a panel of experts in medieval history and literature will take you back to the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the Renaissance to explore the ideals and realities of sex and sexuality.

Not a book or even a great courses lecture, but rather a podcast by women ranting about empowerment issues of the middle ages
Revisado: 10-07-24
This is not a book for anybody looking for highly researched information about medieval times. It’s mostly a book review of books written in medieval times that touch on a sexual topic. The presentation is amateur audio and non-college level presentation of information. They repeat the same generalizations over and over again, and do it through the lowest quality audio possible. If you are used to great quality of lecture. This is not one of those. It seems that their research consisted of only reading a few books and describing them in generalizations just awful. Don’t waste your money.

Last summer, The New Yorker published chef Anthony Bourdain's shocking, "Don't Eat Before Reading This." Now, the author uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable audiobook, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike.

Good read worthwhile
Revisado: 10-04-24
He goes into enough detail so that you have a real feel for what life is like in the restaurant business. It’s some glamorized in that the hard work is gloss over as just part of the job and it’s worth reading because his personality comes through very well. On the Downside, he glosses over his addiction and other personal challenges that he had to work through you never really get a clear picture of what any of that’s about.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 316
Werner Herzog was born in September 1942 in Munich, Germany, at a turning point in the Second World War. Soon Germany would be defeated and a new world would have to be made out the rubble and horrors of the war. Fleeing the Allied bombing raids, Herzog’s mother took him and his older brother to a remote, rustic part of Bavaria where he would spend much of his childhood hungry, without running water, in deep poverty. It was there, as the new postwar order was emerging, that one of the most visionary filmmakers of the next seven decades was formed.

Characters come alive the story is more exciting than if you just read it by yourself. The actors sound of facts the over all experience is excellent. Well done. Why can't Hollywood make things this good?

Oliver Wyman reads The Speakeasy Guide and captures the rich atmosphere and enduring cultural influence of the roaring ‘20s. While the anecdote about Audible staffers stumbling out of an anonymous casino might be in doubt, one thing’s for sure – this fun listen is the bee’s knees.

Entertaining short stories. Each of them fun and brief. Most of the performers were good except for the mummy. You couldn't really hear her whispered rushed speech.
