THE CLEANSED Episode 0- THE BREAKING & ELECTRO MAGNETIC THEATRE – BALLONJACK
Here at Audiobookradio.net we try to bring you audio dramas that are exciting, thought provoking, and downright entertaining. And what could be more entertaining than the end of the world!
In the mid 21st century, fuel is running out, food is scarce, Acts of God – and humans – take down the grid and everything else. Civilisation grinds to a halt.
And then things get really bad.
Society fractures into lawless groups. But in rural Maine, USA, some have now spent years nurturing their society back to some kind of normality… but a second man made apocalypse comes calling – Welcome to The Cleansed!
The Production company, Final Rune, is centred on the award laden multi talented Fred Greenhalgh who not only writes, produces and directs “The Cleansed” but much else besides. Plus he has a cast and crew who put everything in so your ears are in for a treat. Check everything out at FinalRune.com

THE POETRY HOUR featuring DH Lawrence, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allan Poe Vol 1
Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words. The English language has well over a million and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one. But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition. Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our eyes and ears to very personal feelings.
Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children’s textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today. In this hour well be listening to DH Lawrence, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allan Poe, Amy Lowell and others. Vol 1
All of them are from a dedicated poetry publisher – Portable Poetry who believe that poetry should be a part of our everyday lives, uplifting the soul & reaching the parts that other things can’t. Their range of audiobooks and ebooks cover volumes on some of our greatest poets to anthologies of seasons, months, places and a range of themes.

SHORT STORIES ALCOTT & SAKI
A DOUBLE TRAGEDY – An Actor’s Story by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT Read by DEREK JACOBI
This is a story of jealousy and revenge set in a theatrical company, although well drawn, are almost campy in their melodrama.
THE RETICENCE OF LADY ANNE by SAKI Read by RICHARD MITCHLEY
This is trademark Saki, deliciously irreverent on the rituals and conventions of society with a sting in the tale.

THE CLEANSED Episode 8 The Revolt
Here at Audiobookradio.net we try to bring you audio dramas that are exciting, thought provoking, and downright entertaining. And what could be more entertaining than the end of the world!
In the mid 21st century, fuel is running out, food is scarce, Acts of God – and humans – take down the grid and everything else. Civilisation grinds to a halt.
And then things get really bad. Society fractures into lawless groups. But in rural Maine, USA, some have now spent years nurturing their society back to some kind of normality… but a second man made apocalypse comes calling – Welcome to The Cleansed!
The Production company, Final Rune, is centred on the award laden multi talented Fred Greenhalgh who not only writes, produces and directs “The Cleansed” but much else besides. Plus he has a cast and crew who put everything in so your ears are in for a treat. Check everything out at FinalRune.com

THE POETRY HOUR featuring Tagore, George Eliot. Arthur Conan Doyle & more
Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words. The English language has well over a million and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one. But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition. Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our eyes and ears to very personal feelings. Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to school textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today. In this hour we’ll be listening to poets of the quality and breadth of GEORGE ELIOT, ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE & RABINDRINATH TAGORE and themes including LONDON, THE SEA, ANIMALS amongst others. Vol 6
All of them are from a dedicated poetry publisher – Portable Poetry who believe that poetry should be a part of our everyday lives, uplifting the soul & reaching the parts that other things can’t. Their range of audiobooks and ebooks cover volumes on some of our greatest poets to anthologies of seasons, months, places and a range of themes. Check them out on your usual digital store such as Amazon or iTunes or at https://www.deadtreepublishing.com/ That’s Portable Poetry – poetry that carries you through!

Here at Audiobook Radio we are keen to provide a range of voices – very literally as well as in terms of opinions and views of the world. This strand created by Alternative Radio does just that. We will hear from some of the most informed minds and greatest social activists of our time whose take on justice and power does not chime with those that hold the power and don’t provide justice for all so we rarely get to hear from them in mainstream media. Different opinions always help inform our own and we are always eager to hear from listeners about this or any other strand. Contact us on the tab at www.audiobookradio.net Today’s talk is given by Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela a senior research professor in trauma, memory and forgiveness at the University of the Free State in South Africa. and is entitled Forgiving the Unforgivable.
