  How I became a Hooligan

  Douglas Hammar

  I chose violence.
   
  
   
  Not because I had to.
   
  Because I wanted to.
   
  
   
  I didn’t grow up in the streets.
   
  I grew up on a wealthy island outside Stockholm.
   
  
   
  And I still chose this life.
   
  
   
  This is the true story of how I became part of one of Europe’s most feared football firms and what it actually felt like to be there.
   
  
   
  Not written by a journalist.
   
  Not based on rumours.
   
  
   
  I lived it.
   
  
   
  I took on a leading role within an AIK sub-group connected to the main firm, moving through a world that stretches across Sweden and into Europe.
   
  
   
  Sweden’s hooligan scene is not what people think.
   
  
   
  It’s not chaos.
   
  It’s not random.
   
  
   
  It’s organised.
   
  Disciplined.
   
  Planned.
   
  
   
  Fights arranged in forests.
   
  Groups meeting far from the public eye.
   
  
   
  No weapons. No excuses.
   
  
   
  Just men walking towards each other, knowing exactly what’s about to happen.
   
  
   
  There’s adrenaline.
   
  There’s pride.
   
  
   
  Moments that feel bigger than anything else.
   
  
   
  And then there’s everything that comes with it.
   
  
   
  This is about brotherhood, identity, and what it does to you over time.
   
  
   
  This is Swedish hooliganism from the inside.
   
  
   
  If you’re interested in true crime, football culture, or real stories without filters, this is for you.

  Where It Hurts - Dispatches from...

  Candid literary accounts by doctors, nurses, and other healers shed light on the intense challenges and triumphs of medical life, reflecting the resilience, ingenuity, and compassion they use to get by. 
   
  In Where It Hurts, more than 60 doctors, nurses, therapists, EMTs, patient advocates, and other medical professionals offer a window into the space between health and illness, life and death as they share stories of difficult patients, life-changing diagnoses, their own failures, and the successes that make everything worth it. What they feel, we feel, in highly relatable, beautifully written essays, poems, and short stories that are by turns conversational, urgent, plain-spoken, spare, poetic, heart-rending, and heart-mending. 
  A doctor shares the do-or-die pep talk she gives herself when intubating a young patient. A nurse contemplates how to act when tending to a woman accused of murder. A GI fellow serves up an unorthodox “cure” for an ER regular with a proclivity for fajitas. An intensive care physician recalls the surreal early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. A therapist carts a box of police reports, abandoned by a long-ago patient, to yet another new office. 
   
  Anger, shame, panic, loneliness, love, hate, wonder, joy: They’re all part of a day’s work. As the authors of each piece unpack the highs and lows of their vocation, they teach us what it means to empathize deeply, to live fully, and to be human.

  I Need to Get It Off My Chest -...

  Dr Luke Gordon

  What happens when the system designed to protect you becomes the weapon used to destroy you? 
  In Book 3 of the UNBUTCHERED series, Dr. Luke Gordon takes listeners into the courtroom — where a patient's recorded confession should have ended everything, but instead revealed just how far institutional corruption could reach. 
  A confession on tape. Three lawyers who failed him. A judge whose conduct defied belief. This is the story of how a plastic surgeon's career was dismantled not by incompetence or wrongdoing, but by a broken system that had already decided the outcome. 
  Raw, unflinching, and meticulously documented, I Need to Get It Off My Chest is a memoir about betrayal, legal failure, and the cost of fighting for truth when the truth is inconvenient for everyone in power. 
  For listeners who believe in justice — and for those who've stopped believing in it.

  Mad about Shakespeare: From...

  ‘Enlightening, moving’ SIR IAN MCKELLEN 
  From the acclaimed and bestselling biographer Jonathan Bate, a luminous new exploration of Shakespeare and how his themes can untangle comedy and tragedy, learning and loving in our modern lives. 
  ‘The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.’ 
  How does one survive the death of a loved one, the mess of war, the experience of being schooled, of falling in love, of growing old, of losing your mind? 
  Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own ‘permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life – losses and challenges – and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis. Along the way we meet actors such as Judi Dench and Simon Callow, and writers such as Dr Johnson, John Keats, Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, who turned to Shakespeare in their own dark times. 
  This is a personal story about loss, the black dog of depression, unexpected journeys and the very human things that echo through time, resonating with us all at one point or another. 
  Bate's autobiography is not just a collection of his experiences, but a study of how Shakespeare's themes have permeated through history and continue to resonate in our lives. His criticism of the tragedies and existential questions we face, and his teaching of how to navigate through them, is a top literary work that transcends the English language. 
  For fans of Judi Dench (Shakespeare), Ben Crystal (Shakespeare on Toast), Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am), Mary Berry (Recipe for Life), and Sylvia Plath (The Journals of Sylvia Plath).

  F*ck You God - One Man's...

  What could lead a little fellow to set a putt-putt course on fire or host a keg party at his parents’ house during high school (when his father was a prominent pastor in town) or defy all odds and become perhaps a combination of the smallest and slowest starting wide receiver in major college football history? And how did that youngster eventually become an NFL agent by accident, meeting his future wife on a steamy asphalt parking lot with a “Hey, what’s your name?” yelled across that same parking lot by way of introduction and then having his heart radically transformed by the birth of his first child, Hannah, before raising three more children? And how could this same man possibly handle the news that his beloved daughter was dying? And more so, once she died, would it ever be possible for him to find healing?  
  Join Phil Williams on his journey as he weaves humorous, heartwarming, and intriguing stories from birth until fatherhood, and then walk with him on the most painful path a parent could ever navigate, all of which leads him to what he would call the only journey worth taking: the journey to discover what this life is really all about and who we really are.  
  If you like stories that leave you smiling and crying and laughing and anticipating the next one, dig in. But, no matter how much you might anticipate the next story, nothing will prepare you for the climax of this deeply emotional tale of a man and his daughter and the deeper search for meaning and truth.
