Hidden in the dust of an old town archive lies a missing file, a trail of corruption, and a girl who refuses to let the truth stay buried. When student journalist Iris Hale uncovers the disappearance of the Sixty-Three file, she stumbles into a decades-old conspiracy involving powerful names, secret deals, and the ghosts of the town’s past. With the help of her tech-savvy friend Emily and a weary detective who’s seen too much, Iris must decide how far she’s willing to go to expose the truth—before it disappears forever.

China and Japan have cultural and political connections that stretch back 1,500 years. But today, their relationship is strained. China's military buildup deeply worries Japan, while Japan's brutal occupation of China in World War II remains an open wound. In recent years, less than 10 percent of each population had positive feelings toward the other, and both countries insist that the other side must deal openly with its history before relations can improve. Ezra Vogel's China and Japan examines key turning points in Sino-Japanese history.

For their 45th anniversary, wealthy science buffs Hank and Molly Nonnar decide to fund an experimental rejuvenation procedure, with only one condition: that they be the first subjects.

Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton", Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late 20th century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Yet he also answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in 1989 at Tiananmen Square.

Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (October 30, 1885-November 1, 1972), born in what is now Hailey, Idaho, was a major American figure in the early modernist poetry movement and a fascist collaborator in Italy during World War II. Angered by the carnage of World War I, Pound blamed the war on finance capitalism, which he called "usury". He moved to Italy in 1924 and through the 1930s and 1940s promoted an economic theory known as social credit.

The Noh theatre of Japan was popularized towards the end of the 14th century. It was heavily influenced by Buddhism in philosophy and style, and was made up of dances performed at Shinto shrines to honor spirits and gods and old lyric poetry. Around the same time Shakespeare's Hamlet was being performed in London, Noh was integral to official ceremonies at Kyoto, and young nobles and princes were encouraged to attend and perform. This is a collection of four short plays from the Noh theatres of Japan - Hagoromo, Kumasaka, Kagekiyo, and Nishigiki.

Behind the Lies takes listeners deep into the psychology of compulsive liars, exploring not just what they do, but why they do it. Also known as mythomania or pseudologia fantastica, compulsive lying is more than habit — it’s a complex psychological behaviour rooted in insecurity, attention-seeking, fear of rejection, and a need for control. Understanding it matters because compulsive lying affects every corner of life: destroying trust in relationships, undermining workplaces, and even shaping the behaviour of leaders and public figures.

Have you ever felt drawn to someone who seemed dazzling at first—magnetic, confident, even intoxicating—only to later realise their charm was a mask for something darker?
