Audible | From A$16.45 to A$164.50
There are some great listening out there such as:
DisGraced: Star defense lawyer Grace Cockburn was a lioness in the courtroom – until her life turned into a total mess. Turns out marrying your best friend’s brother and then breaking his heart is not the best career move when both best friend and ex-husband are also very well-liked lawyers in Adelaide’s small legal fraternity. Within weeks, Grace is blacklisted from any decent cases and reduced to taking dull medical insurance claims. It’s a far cry from the glamorous, high-profile criminal law career she envisioned.
Better Luck Next Time: Two frenemies find a surprising second chance in this timeslip rom-com, starring Mae Whitman (Parenthood), Colin Woodell (The Flight Attendant), and full cast. Mona and Duncan used to be best friends. Now they can’t stand each other. Too bad that’s not a good enough excuse to miss their families’ annual trip to the cabin. But things get complicated when they accidentally drive through a wormhole together on the way. Oh, yeah, and apparently they’re going through a divorce. Which means that in this universe they are married. To each other.
Careless People: Shocking and darkly funny, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to the decisions that are shaping our world and the people who make them. Welcome to Facebook. Sarah Wynn-Williams, a young diplomat from New Zealand, pitched for her dream job. She saw Facebook’s potential and knew it could change the world for the better. But, when she got there and rose to its top ranks, things turned out a little different.
Conflict: An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience. This is one of Kevin’s favourites.
Reclaiming: It has been almost three decades since the breaking of the Clinton and Lewinsky scandal, and now the woman in the center of the storm has found her voice. As a man who was just growing up and still shaping my own world when this happened, the podcast has been a real eye opener.
