  A Black feminist takes on exploitation and care in America's favorite game. 
   
   
    
  Big-time college football promises prestige, drama, media attention, and money. Yet most athletes in this unpaid, amateur system encounter a different reality, facing dangerous injuries, few pro-career opportunities, a free but devalued college education, and future financial instability. In one of the first ethnographies about Black college football players, anthropologist Tracie Canada reveals the ways young athletes strategically resist the exploitative systems that structure their everyday lives. 
   
   
   
  Tackling the Everyday shows how college football particularly harms the young Black men who are overrepresented on gridirons across the country. Although coaches and universities constantly invoke the misleading "football family" narrative, this book describes how a brotherhood among Black players operates alongside their caring mothers, who support them on and off the field. With a Black feminist approach—one that highlights often-overlooked voices—Canada exposes how race, gender, kinship, and care shape the lives of the young athletes who shoulder America's favorite game.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  "Snowbound: Hiking the PCT in 2023’s Record Snow Year – Volume 2" continues Riley Riffel’s journey through one of the harshest seasons the Pacific Crest Trail has ever seen. With deep snow still clinging to the mountains and wildfires closing in from the north, every mile demanded more than just endurance—it asked for surrender. This volume follows Riley into the second half of the trail, where the physical toll mounts and the silence grows louder. A mountain lion encounter shakes his sense of safety. New shoes bring unexpected pain. Loneliness weighs heavier than his pack. But even in the struggle, there’s clarity: every hardship reveals something true. From fire detours to digital cries for help, from breakdowns to quiet triumphs, Riley learns to let go of control, walk with uncertainty, and stay present—step by step. This isn’t just a continuation of a hike. It’s the next chapter in a deeper reckoning—and a reminder that the real trail is the one we walk within.

  1978 - Baseball and America in...

  From spring training to the World Series, 1978 gave baseball fans one of the sport's greatest seasons, full of legendary moments like the battle between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox for the American League East pennant, Gaylord Perry's three thousandth strikeout, Tom Seaver's only career no-hitter, Willie McCovey's five hundredth home run, and Pete Rose's marathon forty-four-game hitting streak. The 1978 season played out against a backdrop of disco music, bell-bottom pants, and gas-guzzling cars, while Hollywood answered a desperate longing for a simpler time with nostalgic offerings such as Grease, The Buddy Holly Story, American Hot Wax, Animal House, and Superman. Robin Williams became a household name with a guest appearance on the popular TV show Happy Days, Atlantic City debuted its first casino, and Jill Clayburgh symbolized the emerging independence of women in An Unmarried Woman. 
   
   
   
  In a memorable end to the baseball season, Reggie Jackson and Bucky Dent led the Yankees to their second consecutive World Series over the Dodgers after losing the first two games, then winning four in a row. David Krell breaks down major events in both baseball and American culture in 1978, chronicling the notable achievements of some of the greatest players of the era, along with some of the quirkiest moments, to capture an extraordinary year in baseball.
