Urban Memoirs

Some seemingly preordained lives end up elsewhere entirely when a person manages to break the mold. Mary's mold was broken from the outside.

During a two year span, from 1969 to 1971, the world of rock-and-roll was devastated by the loss of four of its biggest talents - Brian Jones (founder of the Rolling Stones), Jim Morrison (founder and lead singer of the Doors), Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.

A kooky, gregarious mother and perceptive, poised daughter introduce listeners to their offbeat Connecticut family, who follow their hearts to rural Brazil. Broke and broken, they're forced to return to the United States, and navigate their rebirth in a foreclosed 1770 New England farmhouse. Hilariously honest and heart-wrenching, listeners will fall in love with their spunk, feel the knockout punches of betrayal along with them, and be rooting for them to get back up off the mat.

E, come Cenerentola, sposa il rampollo di una nobile famiglia di imprenditori veneti, i Marzotto, perdutamente innamorato di lei.

A group of pro skateboarders take a gonzo dive into the Californian weed world. From a pool-skating orgy to a kung fu challenge, the drama never stops.
