Story4.5 out of 5 stars 479
Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.

1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the small town of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake. Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 122
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2,442
There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

A Return to the Norm
Story: 3-Stars
************
The new year provides the hosts with an opportunity to clean the slate somewhat. The majority of the titles covered are completely new, which I appreciated, as a number of prior episodes had repeat (and re-repeat) coverage of the same audiobooks. Including the resolutions of other editors was a nice addition. Though there are four people in the booth, there are times when I can't help but feel that the show suffers from a lack of perspectives. Acting as proxies for the rest of the editorial staff is an efficient way to fill the gap.
Additionally, the length of the show has been trimmed back to a more manageable listen. Thank you for that!
Performance: 3-Stars
*******************
These are not professional voice actors (though one of them probably could be), so it is not likely that I will ever rate the performance much higher than this. That being said, there is clear evidence that the hosts and producers continue to push themselves to improve. Along the way, there has been opening music, closing music, and (often funny) intro vignettes added to the show. In this episode, there appears to be a concerted effort to introduce effective segues between host segments. Thank you for continuing to work to add polish to the production.

Love these ladies!
I just recently discovered this original and love 💕 the discussion and input! Of course, it added to my wishlist big time! Lol I actually was considering stopping audible but now that they have stepped up their game with all the originals with the “podcast” type listening on the subject of books and all the full cast books - audible simply cant be beat! So worth it. :)

It mas as annoying as fingernails on a chalkboard. I'm actually surprised Audible would release something this poor.
