The man who brought the kavorka to the Seinfeld show through one of the most remarkable and beloved television characters ever invented, Kramer, shares the extraordinary life of a comedy genius—the way he came into himself as an artist, the ups and downs as a human being, the road he has traveled in search of understanding.

Michael's life is suspiciously similar to Cosmo's. Listening to this (and you have to listen to it: Michael does a splendid job), you'll laughingly make those connections. His life has been quite the journey. I was sorry to hear that he was sacrificed to the Woke DIE gods for the most irrelevant of incidents, but happy to learn that he has had some cool adventures afterward. I wish him the best! Thanks Michael and all the best to you!

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States has sold over 2.5 million copies and is still required reading in some high school and college classrooms. But its polemic rewriting of American history as a story of oppression is an agenda-driven fairy tale that has no place in academia. In Debunking Howard Zinn, Mary Grabar debunks Howard Zinn’s lies and traces the damage his mega-bestseller has done to American education, culture, and politics.

Reviewed: 10-19-23
the radical left will stop at nothing to see their impossible (and, to most of us, undesirable) dreams realized. Horowitz is one of the few among the new left who abandoned it after taking a critical look at both the movement and himself. it's an open and self critical account. the author's personal journey is told alongside the greater political history of his time. whether you're here for wisdom, history, biography or just the gory details, you'll find what you're looking for. the narration is strong and fitting.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 350
Radical liberals want to make America a better place, but their utopian social engineering leads, ironically, to greater human suffering. From Karl Marx to Barack Obama, Horowitz shows how the idealistic impulse to make the world a better place gives birth to the twin cultural pathologies of cynicism and nihilism and is the chief source of human suffering. A former liberal himself, Horowitz recounts his own brushes with radicalism and offers unparalleled insight into the disjointed ideology of liberal elites through case studies of well-known radial leftists, including Christopher Hitchens, feminist Bettina Aptheker, leftist academic Cornel West, and others.

Reviewed: 10-11-23
as a former radical himself, the author has unusual insight into the mindset and action of such kind. he's also a clear and engaging writer. strong narration. the leftist personages highlighted in this book span the tragic to the comic and redemptive. the author is not spiteful or unjust in his critiques, but is clearly and unabashedly "conservative" (his words). good listen.

The Great War changed everything and everyone, and Larry Darrell is no exception. Though his physical wounds from the war heal, his spirit is changed almost beyond recognition. He leaves his betrothed, the beautiful and devoted Isabel; studies philosophy and religion in Paris; lives as a monk, and witnesses the exotic hardships of Spanish life. All of life that he can find - from an Indian Ashrama to labor in a coal mine - becomes Larry's spiritual experiment as he spurns the comfort and privilege of the Roaring 20s.

Reviewed: 09-26-23
absolutely lovely and engaging story. very bittersweet. wistful but encouraging. some reviewers have described it as cheesey, being a story only partly about the white man who finds truth in India trope. but it's so much more than that. and even that is quite good and interesting, at least to a philosophical layman like me. either way, it's a good story. it's not too long, so you will not have wasted much time if you, to my surprise, find it unworthy. thanks maughamsy!

Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 299
In "Radical Chic", Wolfe focuses primarily on one symbolic event: a gathering of the politically correct at Leonard Bernstein’s duplex apartment on Park Avenue to meet spokesmen of the Black Panther Party. He re-creates the incongruous scene - and its astonishing repercussions - with high fidelity. In the companion essay, Wolfe travels west to San Francisco to survey another meeting-ground between militant minorities and the liberal white establishment. "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers" deals with the newly emerging art of confrontation, as practiced by San Francisco’s militant minorities.

thoughtful, humourous, informative.
Reviewed: 09-01-23
The narrator is perfect: He sounds a lot like Mr. Wolfe himself, with a great cadence to boot. Most listeners will probably have a good idea of what's in this book and what it's all about. However, as a longtime reader and admirer of Wolfe, I still found the performance to be entertaining and educational (I'm an early/older Millennial). This vignette of 60s counter-culture is hilariously analogous to the age of BLM. Those concerned with the book being politically biased will be surprised at how apolitical it actually is. it's more sociological and anthropological (and journalistic of course) than anything else. Have fun!

angry listener
Reviewed: 08-08-23
I won't go on about how much I admire vdh (very much) because it's been done to death. it's getting embarrassing at this point actually. So I'll just issue a complaint: Vic needs to stop (he must know better) tarnishing Derek Chauvin. Any reasonable person who watches the entire video and looks at all the evidence must conclude that he is innocent. You wanna talk about a 'high tech lynching', look no further than the Chauvin trial. A travesty of justice and vdh should and likely does know better. Best to you all, from an angry listener.

Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the “citizen” is historically rare — and was among America’s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish.

All around good, but if you've been following the news for the past 5 years, then the second half of the book is recap; thorough but, for most, redundant.
