"Captures the essence of Spinoza wonderfully... engaging and well presented." — Audible Customer Review
As a young Jewish man in 17th century Amsterdam, Baruch de Spinoza excelled as a theological student; but as he encountered free-thinking Protestants, atheists, and radicals in this relatively tolerant city, he began to question his religion and the nature of God. As a result, he was branded a heretic and faced excommunication. Starring Edward Asner (Disney/Pixar's Up), Matthew Wolf () and Arye Gross (ABC's Castle).

"Gero gives a superb performance as Justice Antonin Scalia" —Publishers Weekly
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia believed that the United States Constitution is the most reliable source for a fair interpretation of the law as it is applied today. He was, in other words, an "originalist". But aren't the laws written over 200 years ago subject to interpretation-or even guesswork? Edward Gero stars as the late Justice Scalia in John Strand's insightful look at Scalia's life and legal philosophy. Starring Edward Gero (Die Hard with a Vengeance) and Kerry Warren (The Good Wife).

The Price
Written By: Arthur Miller
Starring: Richard Dreyfuss, Amy Irving, Timothy West, Harris Yulin
Directed by: Martin Jenkins
"A stellar production, great for audio." —Audible Customer Review
Arthur Miller's deeply moving drama reunites two long estranged middle-aged brothers. Nostalgia and recrimination erupt as they sell off an attic full of furniture, their last link to a family and a world that no longer exists. This 1968 classic is a wrenching saga of plaintive gestures and missed opportunities. A co-production with the BBC. Starring Richard Dreyfuss (Mr. Holland's Opus) and Amy Irving (Yentl).

😎 ESSENTIAL LISTENING
"Perfect Halloween listening, guaranteed to give you chills." —LitHub
The 1815 eruption of Indonesia's Tambora volcano had a catastrophic effect on climate around the world. In North America and Europe, the following twelve months became known as "the year without summer." Confined indoors by the relentless rain and cold, a group of friends, including 18-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and poet Lord Byron, began writing ghost stories to pass the time. Shelley's tale "Frankenstein" remains, over 200 years later, a work of timeless imagination and power. Starring Stacey Keach (American History X) and Adhir Kalyan (Rules of Engagement).
