Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 37

It's another quiet day in London, until Mrs. Jennings returns home with big news. Over at the Dashwoods, Miss Steele just revealed that her sister Lucy has been secretly engaged to Edward Ferrars! Elinor is relieved that the news is finally in the open, while Marianne is utterly shocked that her sister has been holding this emotional burden all by herself for four months. When their brother John visits the next day, they learn that the fallout for Edward has been severe -- his own mother has disinherited him. Elinor feels for Edward, holding his ground and losing everything for a woman who can give him nothing. It's a sad and shocking development, but while Edward and Lucy may be facing upheaval, their story will bring you peace, as it lulls you into a night of warm and relaxing sleep. ----- Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast! Each episode is a section of a classic Jane Austen novel, read in soothing tones and set to calming music to help you fall asleep. With everything that is going on in the world, we find comfort in the familiar. For so many of us, Jane Austen's works are like a warm hug. So snuggle up under the covers and let the comforting words of Jane Austen lull you into sleep. ----- Show your appreciation for the pod!

Playwright Anna Deavere Smith turns to her family’s history for inspiration

For more than 50 years, Anna Deavere Smith has pioneered a type of theater built from real people's words, interviewing hundreds of Americans and then performing their words verbatim. Now she's telling a story from her own family with ‘Basil Biggs.’ It’s about her great-great-grandfather, a free Black man, who reburied the Union dead at Gettysburg and prepared the ground for Lincoln's most famous speech. Smith spoke with Tonya Mosley about how ‘Finding Your Roots’ led her to this story and why she sees herself as an Americanist.

Ep 531: Seeking light but not fluffy summer reads for a good escape

Today's guest is navigating a tough season, and as a result she is looking forward to a summer of books with heart that won't be too emotionally draining. Kayla Crum is searching for what she calls light but not fluffy reads, and she's not exactly sure where to find the types of titles she's looking for. Kayla's an RN and freelance writer living in Grand Haven, Michigan, where she enjoys making the most of her Lake Michigan proximity by spending time outside with her family and reading on the beach when she can fit it into her schedule. When it comes to her summer reading quest, Kayla's identified a specific type of story that is really working well for her. Today, Kayla is hoping Anne can help her understand why this specific setting is working so well, because she'd love to discover more books that satisfy in the same way. You'll find the list of titles mentioned today on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/531.

Tom Barbash’s “Stay Up With Me” charts the rocky path of an old love affair. It’s read by Jason Ralph. And stay tuned for Chast’s own weird dream life, some of which she shares in this episode.

The Adventure of the Devil's Foot, Part 1

Even the world's greatest detective needs a break sometimes, so Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have made their way to Cornwall for a seaside vacation. But almost as soon as they've settled in, their leisure is cut short by a mysterious murder. Miss Brenda Tregennis has died, and her brother Mortimer is convinced that it's the work of the devil. While Sherlock Holmes prefers not to deal with the supernatural, this case is just too juicy to pass up. Looks like the trip to Cornwall won't be much of a vacation, after all. Though Holmes may not have time for leisure, his latest case will help you find your way into rest and relaxation as you drift into another night of restorative slumber. ----- Welcome to the Sherlock Holmes Bedtime Stories podcast.
