Set in 1976, on the eve of her bid to become New York State’s first female senator, Bella Bella finds this larger-than-life, truth-slinging, groundbreaking, hat-wearing icon squirreled away in the bathroom of a midtown hotel awaiting that night’s election results while a coterie of family and celebs await her entrance. Directing is Kimberly Senior (The Niceties).

On his 11th birthday, Jackson is nervous about moving up to middle school where he knows he'll be bullied by older kids, so he makes his wish, "I don't want to grow up!" When his 12th birthday rolls around, he discovers his wish came true: he's still 11, and he's starting fifth grade (again). At first, this is the perfect life. Jackson is the smartest kid in his class, the best on his baseball team, and the star of the school band. But after a few years of being eleven, he realizes his life is passing him by.

As a highly respected pollster for corporate and Republican clients and a frequent television talk show guest, Kellyanne Conway had already established herself as one of the brightest lights on the national political scene when Donald Trump asked her to run his presidential campaign. She agreed, delivering him to the White House, becoming the first woman in American history to manage a winning presidential campaign. Who she is, how she did it, and who tried to stop her is a fascinating story of personal triumph and political intrigue that has never been told…until now.

In the years leading up to the election of Donald Trump, Congressman Adam Schiff had already been sounding the alarm over the resurgence of autocracy around the world, and the threat this posed to the United States. But as he led the probe into Donald Trump’s abuses of presidential power, Schiff came to the terrible conclusion that the principal threat to American democracy now came from within. In Midnight in Washington, Schiff argues that the Trump presidency has so weakened our institutions and compromised the Republican Party that the peril will last for years.

Al Franken, Giant of the Senate is a book about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. It's a book about what happens when the nation's foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it.

Very Entertaining!
Dan Rather is a little before my time but listening to him tell his stories, then sum them up with a perspective of today's events, and challenges felt like spending an afternoon on a park bench receiving much needed advice from a loving grandfather. A moment of normalcy in in the midst of chaos . . . a much needed treat!

Last 6min...too political
I liked hearing is personal stories and the historical information, but once again a reporter giving his political view. Sad that we are loosing entertainment opportunities that are just fun/interesting. (I can make own choices on my political view, I don’t want to hear a reporter’s, actor’s, or any other celebrity’s view).

Tainted
A good entertaining story, also rather touching at times. But toward the end his ridiculous analysis of politics and Trump made me turn it off. If Dan Rather can't see how biased and unreliable the media is and has been long before Trump then I am saddened that he is not the journalist I thought he was!

I like him better now than I did when he reported
As he admits at the outset, Dan Rather was proud of his job and gloried in his personal power of the press. This short audio allows him to reflect on his career through an older, wiser, more suitably humble lens. I enjoyed listening. I also appreciated the reminder of the tough times our nation has been through, and his encouragement of the path forward through tough times, namely by actively looking for opportunities to connect with and help one another, especially the weak, vulnerable, or wronged.

Rather's delivery here is superb. I could have listened to him tell these stories all day long. The only problem is how short it was. I dearly hope he records more of these. His experience, comfort, and presence were captivating.

Rather’s road
I thoroughly enjoyed Dan’s stories. He had been a fixture throughout my adult life, and to some extent those of my Boomer generation, as we watched the world unfold through his commentary. I found his early rise up from humble roots in rural south Texas to his nationally prominent role as successor to Cronkite one of our achievements as a nation. Well delivered with humility and humor.
