Fish On Fish Off

Stephen Sautner

Author and master storyteller Stephen Sautner narrates this special immersive audio edition of his modern angling classic complete with music and ambient sound. Through a series of 50 personal essays, each of which worthy of its own podcast, Fish On, Fish Off explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world–and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way. These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. These stories of heartbreak, terror, and triumph transcend beyond fishing, and make for excellent listening for angler and non-angler alike.

Top 5 Most Notorious Mad...

John Harpoon

Throughout history, science has been a beacon of progress, propelling humanity toward a future once thought impossible. However, as much as scientific achievement has illuminated the path forward, it has also cast a shadow—one where the pursuit of knowledge and power has led to some of the most disturbing and infamous endeavors. The "mad scientist" archetype has captivated popular imagination for centuries, blending genius with madness in a way that explores the fine line between brilliance and obsession. While these figures may seem extreme, the complexities of their lives and work reflect deeper questions about the nature of discovery, ethics, and human ambition.
The concept of the mad scientist is not merely the product of fictional tales; it stems from the real stories of individuals whose obsessions with pushing scientific boundaries led them down dark, often dangerous paths. These figures were driven by an unyielding desire to unravel the mysteries of nature, sometimes at the cost of human life, moral integrity, and societal norms. They exemplify how the quest for knowledge, unmoored from ethical considerations, can easily slip into unethical practices. The line between innovation and madness is often blurred when the desire for progress supersedes compassion, respect, and accountability.
This book examines five of the most notorious individuals whose scientific endeavors left indelible marks on history, not for their contributions to the betterment of mankind, but for their reckless or ethically questionable experiments. These men, although different in time, place, and method, shared an obsession with achieving greatness—regardless of the personal or moral cost. Their stories reveal the dual-edged sword of scientific curiosity, showing that what is hailed as genius in one moment can be viewed as madness in another.
