Acerca de esta escucha
In 1998, Weird Florida made the bold statement that Florida “is the home of more nuttiness per square mile than any place on earth - and we dare the world to prove us wrong”.
A few tried. California comes to mind, but no one came close.
And that was before:
- The 2000 presidential election and the infamous “Butterfly Ballot”
- Elian Gonzalez
- Most of the September 11 terrorists were found to have lived and trained in South Florida
- The National Enquirer writing about being attacked by anthrax and not making it up
- The American Civil Liberties Union rising to the defense of a Palm Beach resident and confessed drug addict named Rush Limbaugh
In fact, it seems the only crazy story lately that didn't have a Florida connection was O.J. Simpson. Oh. Wait. He lives here now. So, we figured the time was right for another round of stories - some sad, some disturbing, but most pretty funny - from the land that seems to draw offbeat people like the Everglades draws mosquitoes.
When Weird Florida came out, some people didn't get it. Famed radio commentator Paul Harvey called it “a cry for help”. He described it not as a loving celebration of Florida's colorful aspects, but rather an exposé on the order of The Jungle, Upton Sinclair's shocking look at Chicago's slaughterhouses. And one reviewer, on an online bookseller's web page, wrote, “This shows just what a mosquito-filled muck hole, sand-flea infested, White-trash flooded, odd-ball inhabited place Florida really is. It made me glad I didn't live there.”
At first, such reactions hurt us deeply. Then, we thought: Florida's population has gone from two million at the start of World War II, to 17.5 million now. If even one person listens to this audiobook and decides not to move to Florida, after all, the public humiliation is worth it. In that spirit, we bring you Weird Florida II: In a State of Shock.

The first and original! In 1995, lifelong Florida resident and award-winning journalist Eliot Kleinberg was the first to produce a book-length chronicle of his home state's weirdness - and he's not making it up! "Any time you jam descendants of slaves, rednecks, Indians, con artists, carpetbaggers, drug smugglers, fugitives, UFO abductees, strippers, alligators, and political refugees into a flat peninsula surrounded by water but with hardly a drop to drink anymore, you get a pretty weird place. Weird Florida."

From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. The First World War claimed millions of lives and left millions more wounded and disfigured. In the midst of this brutality, however, there were also those who strove to alleviate suffering. The Facemaker tells the extraordinary story of such an individual: the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies.

Almost all accounts of D-Day are told from the Allied perspective, with the emphasis on how German resistance was overcome on June 6, 1944. But what was it like to be a German soldier in the bunkers and gun emplacements of the Normandy coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest seaborne invasion in history? What motivated the German defenders, what were their thought processes - and how did they fight from one strong point to another, among the dunes and fields, on that first cataclysmic day?

Its code name was “Operation Gold”, a wildly audacious CIA plan to construct a clandestine tunnel into East Berlin to tap into critical KGB and Soviet military telecommunication lines. The tunnel, crossing the border between the American and Soviet sectors, would have to be 1,500 feet (the length of the Empire State Building) with state-of-the-art equipment, built and operated literally under the feet of their Cold War adversaries.

But this routine exercise ended in catastrophe. Commander Alexander Slidell Mackenzie came ashore claiming he had prevented a mutiny that would have left him and his officers dead. Some of the thwarted mutineers were being held under guard, but three had already been hanged at sea.

Over thousands of years, the Mississippi watershed was home to millions of Indigenous people who regarded "the great river" with awe and respect, adorning its banks with astonishing spiritual earthworks. But European settlers and American pioneers had a different vision: the river was a foe to conquer. In this landmark work of natural history, Boyce Upholt tells the epic story of human attempts to own and contain the Mississippi River, from Thomas Jefferson's expansionist land hunger through today's era of environmental concern

Barbara Butcher was early in her recovery from alcoholism when she found an unexpected lifeline: a job at the Medical Examiner’s Office in New York City. The second woman ever hired for the role of Death Investigator in Manhattan, she was the first to last more than three months. The work was gritty, demanding, morbid, and sometimes dangerous—and she loved it. In What the Dead Know, she writes with the kind of New York attitude and bravado you might expect from decades in the field, investigating more than 5,500 death scenes, 680 of which were homicides.

I absolutely loved this book!
If weird is what you’re into then you absolutely have to buy this book! I’ve listen to book one and book 2 and both of them are freaking awesome! Although I found this one had more detailed stories it was still just as weird and just as OMG as the last. I can only hope they will have a book 3 because this is one I couldn’t put down and Haidet to stop listening. I will probably go back and listen again in the future it is so entertaining! Not to mention the narrator read the stories in a comfortable town and I thought it was absolutely awesome. So all in all with a great narrator and great narrative this makes for a great audiobook.
