Librivox recording of Walden by Henry David Thoreau Read by Gord Mackenzie. Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American.

Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with...

LibriVox recording of The Adventures of Pinocchio, by Carlo Collodi. Translated by Carol Della Chiesa. Read by Mark F. Smith. Do today's children still learn what a "marionette" is? The beloved story of Pinocchio may represent a last lingering picture of a world not dominated by plastic or electronic toys. Pinocchio is a puppet made from a piece of wood that curiously could talk even before being carved. A wooden-head he starts and a wooden-head he stays - until after years of...

Librivox recording of Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, by L. Frank Baum. Read by Judy Bieber Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz was the fourth of 14 Oz books written by L. Frank Baum (1856-1919). Published in 1908, while Baum was resident in Coronado, California, it is considered one of the "darker" of the Oz tales. However, it also is enlivened by Baum's considerable wit, penchant for puns, and dry social commentary. In this title, Dorothy, her kitten Eureka, Jim, a cab horse, and Zeb, a...

Welcome to the Retroist Rubik the Amazing Cube Podcast. On today's show I start off by talking about the dark urges one feels when challenged to solve a puzzle they are not capable of solving. Needless to say, it is not pretty. After I unburden myself of this, I move onto the subject of the podcast. I talk about this underrated gem, which I honestly love despite its ludicrous writing and plot. During the show, I discuss the production, talent and much more. Vic Sage is back on the...

He told me that he wanted to know what I found here in Switzerland that made me stay for so long (besides my ex girlfriend of course). So, I showed it to him... This is a good opportunity to talk about "family words", so I will teach you words like Vater and Mutter.

CRUISIN' THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES, is a year-by-year recreation of pop music radio during the years 1955 through 1970. Each album is not just a collection of the top pop music of a particular year, but a total recreation by a top disk jockey (of that year) doing his original program over a major pop music station. That means actual commercials, promotional jingles, sound effects,...

I talk about the cast, the creator, the characters, the "location" of the famous Inn, the show's reception, the final episode, its music and much much more. Newhart is an amazing show. I hope this might encourage people to check it out.

Ahead of next week's Masters, we sat down with Jordan Spieth to talk about what's gone wrong in his golf game, how he's addressed it, and where it stands heading into the year's first major. We talk about why he's been so successful at Augusta, what he thinks about most regarding his close calls, the shot in the water on 12 in '16, Greller, Reed, the Ryder Cup, and a lot more. Thanks a ton to Jordan for the time.

On today's show I talk all about the holiday classic, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I have tried to release this episode during past Thanksgiving seasons, but it never came together. I hope you enjoy it. I start off talking about how special this holiday is when it is spent with the people who make it special, then I move onto the special. I talk about the creator of the Peanuts, the producers, directors, animators, plot, voice talent, music and much more.
