Flores Girl: The Children God ForgotJoin Now to Follow
Flores Girl: The Children God Forgot By Erik John Bertel Genre: Adventure Novel The scientists were shocked at the startling fossil discovery: three-foot tall adult human ancestors that inhabited Flores Island only 16,000 year ago! The media ran story after story, including a 60 Minutes segment, about the amazing hobbit find in Indonesia and their recent extinction in Flores. However, the scientists are dead wrong! These archaic people are still alive today and they will be unwittingly introduced by two American researchers to the cruelest of all modern-day predators: humanity! These three-foot tall humans are not the Hobbits of the JRR Tolkien’s stories, but a small tribe of prehistoric people, Homo Floresiensis, living in seeming isolation for nearly a half million years on the Indonesian tropical paradise of Irmã Flores. In their unrelenting quest for knowledge, Sarah and Richard unintentionally expose these innocents to the onslaught of the modern world including corporate profiteers, ardent religious zealots, and to the pirates of the Flores Sea. In the process of discovering and befriending these ancient people, Sarah and Richard must survive a clash of very divergent egos while reawakening their own fragile humanity and suppressed desire for love. Warning, this adventure novel contains adult themes, language, humor, a strong dose of graphic violence, and a complete disdain for most authority figures. The author narrates the podcast, with an accompanying music soundtrack. For more information about the author and book, you can visit www.floresgirl.com.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - A Podiobooks.com productionJoin Now to Follow
A Podiobooks.com presentation:From the Reader, Jason Pomerantz:The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been called "the first true American fairy tale" and it richly deserves the title. The story of Dorothy's epic journey through a strange land, filled with terrifying enemies and loyal allies, resonates today as much as it did when it was first written, at the turn of the last century.You've probably seen the movie countless times, so you might not expect any surprises from the book. But when you listen, you'll be charmed by how imaginative it is, and in a way that's different from the film.I dearly love the movie, but, in this reading, I've tried to approach the story as if I'd never seen it. My Dorothy is a little younger than her cinematic counterpart and her trio of beloved friends - The Scarecrow, The Tin Woodsman and The Cowardly Lion - are all just a little sillier. It's hard to escape from the shadow of the MGM spectacular, but I've done my best.I hope you have as much fun listening as I'm having recording!So sit back, put on your slippers (ruby, silver or whatever color you like) and watch out for flying monkeys! Load up your MP3 player and remember - There's no place like home!
