    The One : The Life and Legacy of Muhammad Ali 
A one-Man-Play by David Serero 
The One is a powerful, intimate journey into the heart and soul of the man the world called “The Greatest.” Through riveting dialogue, poetic monologues, and emotional storytelling, David Serero brings Muhammad Ali’s voice, spirit, and humanity to life in this immersive audio experience. 
From the streets of Louisville to the global stage, from Olympic gold to exile and redemption, The One reveals the fighter behind the legend: the faith, humor, courage, and conviction that made Ali not only a champion in the ring, but a revolutionary figure who changed the world. 
Blending history, emotion, and theatrical performance, this audiobook captures the rhythm and music of Ali’s life: the punchlines, the poetry, and the pain of a man who stood tall against every obstacle. 
Whether you know him as a boxer, a hero, or a symbol of freedom, The One invites you to hear Muhammad Ali like never before: raw, honest, and unforgettable. 
This powerful production, which premiered in Off-Broadway, New York, in 2024, explores the iconic boxer's life, struggles, and triumphs, tracing his journey from Cassius Clay to becoming a global symbol of resilience, activism, and the champion of champions. 
Serero, known for his bold storytelling and transformative performances, takes on the complex character of Ali, blending drama, history, and intimate reflection to capture the essence of the boxer’s persona. THE ONE delves into critical moments from Ali's career, his battles inside and outside the ring, and the personal sacrifices he made in his fight for justice, equality, and peace. “I wish to treat Ali as a Shakespearean character. He has everything that Shakespeare would love. He rose to fame, fell, then stood up again and fought against many, including himself,” said David Serero.

    The never before told story of the profound and compelling friendship between the two New York legends. 
 
 
 
Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris are forever intertwined in baseball history thanks to the unforgettable 1961 season, when the two Yankee icons spurred each other to new heights in pursuit of Babe Ruth's home run record. History has largely overlooked the bond between the two men not as titans of their sport, but as people. 
 
 
 
Guided by Tony Castro, bestselling author and foremost chronicler of Mantle, listeners will journey into history, from the Yankees' blockbuster trade for Maris, whose acquisition reignited Mantle's career after a horrendous 1959 season, to the heroics of 1961 and far beyond. 
 
 
 
This dual biography is a thoroughly researched, emotionally gripping portrait that brings Yankees lore alive.

    Swimming Wild in Scotland by Alice Goodridge is an informative and inspiring book for both new and experienced wild swimmers, featuring over 100 of the best wild swimming spots across the Scottish mainland and islands.
Drawing on her vast experience as a long-distance swimmer and open water swimming coach, Alice has hand-picked locations to help you experience Scotland at its wild and rugged best. Scotland has a plethora of choice when it comes to wild swimming – you could take a dip in one of the stunning lochs of the Cairngorms, splash around in the river pools on Arran, step out from a deserted white sand beach on remote Great Bernera, swim right up to a waterfall on the River Pattack, or, for something a little different, swim in flooded quarries on Easdale or delight in the easily accessible tidal pools in Fife.
Alice digs into the detail of what makes a fantastic wild swimming location, sharing her in-depth knowledge of exactly where to get in the water, where to safely swim once you're in, the best time to swim if tides are a consideration, what to expect underfoot as you get in for your swim, and, just as importantly, you'll be aware of any potential hazards. Armed with all this essential knowledge, you can relax and enjoy your swim, with all the preparation and research taken care of. This is all backed up by clear Ordnance Survey and custom maps, information on parking and public transport, and details of enticing cafes to enjoy a post-swim hot chocolate.
Flick through this book, drawing inspiration from the stunning photography, as Alice brings each fantastic swimming location to life. Whether you're an experienced wild swimmer or just dipping your toes in the water for the first time, you'll find plenty to inspire your next adventure.
