  Downton Abbey - PG Wodehouse style!Here we have a glorious ensemble of Wodehousian characters knocking elbows to foreheads in the elegant and grand Blandings Castle. Meet Freddy Threepwood, the vagrant son of doddering old Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle. Freddy has recently become engaged to Aline Peters, the American heiress of an irascible father. The snag is that Freddy seems to have at one point become enamored of a struggling actress, Joan Valentine, and written some impetuous and imprudent letters to her. Joan has now moved on and is currently employed as a writer for a magazine’s society column. Freddy has employed a certain R. Jones, a man of portly and dubious character, to attempt to buy back Freddy’s letters, and keep his engagement safe. We also meet Ache Marson, an athlete who writes the Gridley Quayle series of pulp mystery stories, and also lives in the flat just below the actress/writer Joan Valentine. Got that strait? Sound confusing? Wait till we get going.Narrated by B.J. Harrison of The Classic Tales Podcast who brings each whimsical Wodehouse character to life with his usual, wonderful gusto.

  Herschel Caine is a soon-to-be master of the universe. His hedge fund, built on the miracle of machine learning, is inches away from systematically extracting obscene profits from the market. His SoHo offices (shoes optional, therapy required) have been fine-tuned to reel in curious investors.But on the night of May 12, at his elegant Cobble Hill townhouse, he has something else on his mind—the dinner party he and his wife have devised to woo their new A-list neighbors. When the evening fizzles, Herschel indulges in a devilish prank that goes horrifically awry, plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As Herschel's tightly constructed world starts to unravel, he clings to the moral clarity he finds in the last place he'd expect: a sudden connection with a neighborhood dog.A wildly inventive, reality-bending trip, The Vegan holds a mirror up to its listener and poses a question only a hedge fund manager could ask: Is purity a convertible asset? The more Herschel disavows his original sin, and the more it threatens to be revealed, the more it becomes something else entirely—a way into a forgotten world of animals, nature, and life beyond words.

  I had been in Asia just over two months--something like ten weeks, or if you’re counting days, about seventy days.  
  Of course, if you’re counting meals, like I was, think about two hundred and ten.  
  Add iodine-purified water, a permanent layer of dust on my tongue, and let's just say I couldn't always hold down what I did eat.  
  Food was becoming my meaning, my passion, my existence.  
  I dreamt up meals in my head: leafy salads, steak, anything without rice and noodles.  
  Sure, rice and noodles are great, but try them for seventy days, three meals a day--try anything for that long.  
  I wanted food from home.  
  Besides, just before coming to Asia, I'd spent six months in Africa eating things that were beige, bland, and beaten.  
  Oh yes, Asian food had sounded exotic and adventurous, but at this point given a choice between a baked potato and the Great Wall of China... 
  Pass the sour cream.
