Art Works - How Organizers and...

Ken Grossinger

Named one of The Progressive magazine's Favorite Books of the Year 
An inside look at the organizers and artists on the front lines of political mobilization and social change 
“Ken [Grossinger] is one of the smartest strategists I know.” —John Sweeney, AFL-CIO president, 1995–2009 
An artist’s mural of George Floyd becomes an emblem of a renewed movement for racial equality. A documentary film injects fuel into a popular mobilization to oust a Central American dictator. Freedom songs course through the American civil rights movement. 
When artists and organizers combine forces, new forms of political mobilization follow—which shape lasting social change. And yet few people appreciate how much deliberate strategy often propels this vital social change work. Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists, and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the world we want and the world we need. 
In Art Works, noted movement leader Ken Grossinger chronicles these efforts for the first time, distilling lessons and insights from grassroots leaders and luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Courtland Cox, Jackson Browne, Shepard Fairey, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Alexander, Bill McKibben, JR, Jose Antonio Vargas, and more. Drawing from historical and present-day examples—including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum, and the Art for Justice Fund—Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of these political times.

Parcels in the Post - Growing Up...

Fiona Neary

Welcome to the house of fun.
It's the early 1980s and Fiona Neary and her family have recently moved back from England to the family farm. Fiona's huge-hearted mum decides to take in foster children – a decision that will change all their lives.
 Over the next decade, a procession of faces passes through the house. Every child has their own story, and each story claims a little piece of Fiona's heart. Some stay a few weeks; some months, and then years. All these children, as well as Fiona and her family, must pass through a chaotic system: where a judge's decision can alter a child's life, for better or worse; where emergency placements can break up siblings; where the foster family are often left in the dark and with little back-up.
Filled with pathos and humour, Parcels in the Post is both a memoir of a loving household and snapshot of the fostering system in Ireland, from someone at the very heart of it all.

Uncle’s Dream - A Satirical Tale...

Fyodor Dostoevsky, Tim Zengerink

What if your pursuit of prestige revealed the ridiculousness of your soul? 
In Uncle’s Dream, Fyodor Dostoevsky offers a wickedly funny story about pride, pretension, and the desperation to maintain appearances. A mother’s ambitious matchmaking plan spirals into chaos when her target—an elderly and confused prince—doesn’t quite follow the script. 
This modern translation captures Dostoevsky’s sharp humor and social satire, making it perfect for today’s listeners who appreciate clever character drama, rich dialogue, and biting commentary on status and society. 
What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
- A darkly comic tale of marriage, social climbing, and provincial absurdity 
- A vibrant cast of schemers, dreamers, and fools 
- A listener-friendly version of Dostoevsky’s underrated masterpiece 
- A light yet insightful satire on the illusions of nobility and ambition 
Short, clever, and surprisingly relevant, Uncle’s Dream is a must-listen for fans of classic literature with a satirical twist.
