Summary

Call-In Show Dynamics explores the captivating world of live radio, dissecting the psychology, performance, and audience participation that drive these broadcasts. It examines why people willingly share personal stories with strangers, revealing insights into the human need for validation, connection, or advice. The book uniquely combines psychological analysis with a performance perspective, highlighting how hosts skillfully manage conversations and callers craft narratives for a listening audience. One intriguing aspect is how radio shows can cultivate a sense of community among listeners.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Prophet — Audiobook 
    "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." 
    First published in 1923, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is one of the most beloved and enduring works of world literature — translated into over 100 languages and never once out of print. 
    Consisting of 26 prose poetry fables, the book speaks through the voice of a prophet on the deepest themes of human life — love, children, freedom, sorrow, beauty, and death. 
    "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." "What is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?" "Self is a sea boundless and measureless." 
    A Production Crafted with Care 
    This audiobook breathes life into Gibran's timeless words through a carefully crafted cast of voices. Almustafa and the narrator speak in American English, while the citizens of Orphalese — the ploughman, the merchant, the judge, the priestess, the scholar, the astronomer, and more — are voiced in British English, giving each figure their own distinct warmth and character. Every line has been reviewed by human editors to ensure a smooth listening experience. 
    Tip for the impatient listener: Chapters 1 and 28 are slightly longer than the rest — feel free to begin at Chapter 2 and circle back.

    The University of Google. ChatGPT. Twitter pile-ons.  How do we manage chaos and crises, confusion and catastrophes? How do we understand the difference between the urgent and important, the trivial and significant?Information literacy is about as attractive as teeth extraction.  However, for PhD students and citizens more generally, information literacy enables us to sift and sort knowledge from opinion, and expertise from a vibe.  Know what you do not know:  Information literacy for PhD students provides a context around the folk devils of our time:  plagiarism, self-plagiarism, influencers and populists.  Most importantly, Know what you do not know demonstrates how to take notes, how to reference with clarity, and how to build an opinion into a referenced and considered argument.

    The Grammar of Self - Collected...

    In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds. It is something that one creates.” (T.S. Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: Anchor Press, 1973, p. 49.) This volume accepts that the poetic text, or multiples thereof, is one means through which a self finds articulation. This articulation is open-ended, chaotic, composed of innumerable experiential fragments that come from deed, time, place and person. The self in this volume is composed of psychic jigsaw pieces (single poems) each of which assert their right to placement, but which will never collate into a perfect picture. This volume of poetry is a collection of many of these pieces, which together present an incomplete movement towards Szaszian self-creation.
