Sinopse

When George Mitchell described his time helping broker peace in Northern Ireland, he said, 'We had 700 bad days and then one good day, which changed the course of history.'
One Good Day is the fascinating insider account of those negotiations from diplomat David Donoghue, then the Irish head of the Anglo-Irish Secretariat in Belfast. It explores the complex, delicate and often frustrating series of talks that drew the Troubles to an end.
April 2023 marks the 25-year anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, hailed internationally as a near-miracle of collective collaboration, compromise and diplomacy. One Good Day offers an absorbing perspective on the drama of the negotiations from someone who was right at the centre of the action, alongside all the key players such as Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams, John Hume, Bill Clinton, Bertie Ahern and Mo Mowlam.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    What if your disability was not seen as a condition… but as a consequence? 
    In this searing and sacred testimony, Jorge Madera — a disabled, bilingual author writing from his wheelchair — confronts the silent judgment that surrounds disability in religious, social, and family systems. 
    Told in bold, poetic, and uncompromising chapters, Crippled by Karma — or by People? is not a theology book. 
    It is lived pain. 
    It is a scar turned into scripture. 
    It is a fire that refused to go out, even after silence tried to extinguish it. 
    From nuns who judged instead of healing, 
    to prophets who mistook pain for punishment, 
    to families who spiritualized their abandonment — 
    this audiobook dares to say what most are afraid to admit: 
    Disability is not karma. 
    It is not divine accounting. 
    And those who preach otherwise are not speaking for God. 
    Whether you have been judged, discarded, or called a warning, this book is for you. 
    Written from the wheelchair. 
    Still burning in truth. 
    Still not asking for permission. 
    Narrated in the voice of Adam, through artificial intelligence, to ensure accessibility and faithful delivery.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Empire of Rum – The Unofficial Economy of Early Australia is a gripping journey through the colony’s most intoxicating secret: that rum, not coin, built Australia. 
    In the fledgling settlement of New South Wales, alcohol was more than a drink - it was money, power, and survival. From the notorious Rum Corps to the only successful military coup in Australian history, this audiobook brings to life the corruption, rebellion and everyday struggles that flowed through the barrels of rum. 
    But the story doesn’t stop in the past. Linking colonial rum trading to modern Australia, this powerful work shows how alcohol still fuels crime, family breakdown, and an overwhelmed justice system. 
    Part history, part social critique, Empire of Rum pulls no punches in exposing how alcohol became and remains a currency of control. 
    Perfect for listeners of Australian history, true crime, and social justice narratives.

    People Who Lunch - On Work...

    A riveting investigation of the utopian experiments attempting to resist the unrelenting demands of late-stage capitalism—only to end up living comfortably alongside it What do post‑work politics, the cult of crypto, clubbing, and polyamory have in common? All have spawned thriving subcultures united in their rejection of the patriarchal capitalist order: from wage labor, to the reign of the shareholder class over capital markets, to romantic relationships that feel like contractual arrangements to be negotiated, and more.People Who Lunch is about hating work and needing to work, intimacy and technology, labor and leisure, and the challenge of living our ideals in a less than ideal world. In it, Sally Olds brings her “unsparing scrutiny to bear…as she grapples with the sense of entrapment in the machinery of capitalism and remorseless logic of commodification” (ABC Arts). In one essay, Olds’s brief flirtation with post-monogamy forces her to confront the emotional prison of the “open relationship”; in another, a multi-hour viewing of a critically acclaimed performance art piece highlights how even the highest forms of culture exist to convert pleasure into capital. In the end, her forays into these colorful worlds betray a deep irony: escaping a system built on the exchange of wage labor is, quite simply, a lot of work.
