Pass the Damn Salt, Please. - Comedy Serial Audio Book
This is a story about language. No. Of language. Of. About. About. Of. Language. Crap. Ok this is NOT a story of grammar. Nor is it a story about grammar. This is a story about the language we use in relationships with friends, family, and lovers. This story highlights the curious phenomena that we are far more polite to people we are socially distant from and can be far nastier to those we supposedly are close to. This is the story of Riley and the language in his life. Fortunately Riley has sense of humor, a verbally sophisticated family and rides the bus. He meets an equally verbally adept lady named Rachel and we read the words used by Riley and Rachel as they meet, fall in love, descend into screaming fights and move, perhaps, beyond. Why bother with Riley? Well this book also reveals to its female readership the long guarded male secret of why men never do what they PROMISE they say they are going to do. Guys get basketball tips.

The Underground Grid Podcast - Science fiction Anthology Audio Book
ACCESS GRANTED... Welcome to The Underground Grid. If this came through clean, then you’ve stumbled upon an active grid node or managed to find us on your own. Either way, you’re in the right place. If you aren’t with THEM, that means you’re with US—and The Underground Grid needs more bright minds like yours. THEY told you we were a myth. Degenerates. A delusion. THEY lied. We are real. We exist. We’ve been quietly building voice by voice then node by node beneath the sprawl of Global Genesis. At first, we were just a collection of brave people. Messages were smuggled by hand in code and carried across the provinces by those brave enough to risk discovery. Now, The Underground Grid transmits what THEY tried to erase— memories, artifacts, and stories. Every message came at a cost. But we will not be so easily erased. This is more than a place to get information. It’s where the truth starts to piece itself back together. What you uncover today could change everything. You won’t get all the answers at once. Nothing here moves in straight lines. I’ve spent years building this. Now it’s yours to navigate. Currently, several nodes are active. We’ll transmit what we can, when we can. Every drop is a risk. If this uplink holds, you’ll hear from me soon. Until then—be cautious. Be clever. Be invisible when you have to be. The truth lives here. The future is listening. — The Operator [TRANSMISSION TERMINATED]
