A Library Journal Best Book of 2015Go behind the scenes of seven of today’s most popular narrative radio shows and podcasts, including This American Life and RadioLab, in graphic narrative. Every week, millions of devoted fans tune in to or download This American Life, The Moth, Radiolab, Planet Money, Snap Judgment, Serial, Invisibilia and other narrative radio shows. Using personal stories to breathe life into complex ideas and issues, these beloved programs help us to understand ourselves and our world a little bit better. Each has a distinct style, but every one delivers stories that are brilliantly told and produced. Out on the Wire offers an unexpected window into this new kind of storytelling—one that literally illustrates the making of a purely auditory medium.  With the help of This American Life''s Ira Glass, Jessica Abel, a cartoonist and devotee of narrative radio, uncovers just how radio producers construct narrative, spilling some juicy insider details. Jad Abumrad of RadioLab talks about chasing moments of awe with scientists, while Planet Money’s Robert Smith lets us in on his slightly goofy strategy for putting interviewees at ease. And Abel reveals how mad—really mad—Ira Glass becomes when he receives edits from his colleagues. Informative and engaging, Out on the Wire demonstrates that narrative radio and podcasts are creating some of the most exciting and innovative storytelling available today.

J.K. Rowling's five-film Fantastic Beasts adventure series continues with the original screenplay for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Romanen skildrer på socialpsykologisk vis en drengs vandring fra den ene institution til den anden. I særlig Martha Christensen-stil gives der en stemme til de tabte og glemte, idet fokus også er på de dårligt stillede forældre og deres rolle som hjælpeløse tilskuere.Martha Christensen, 1926-1995, var en dansk forfatter, der med sit fokus på de stille eksistenser og sin faglige baggrund i den sociale sektor beretter om dem, der er at finde i behandlingssystemet. Et genkommende tema i forfatterskabet er forholdet mellem de magtfulde plejere og de sårbare, institutionaliserede individer. Som social-psykologisk realist skildrer hun uden litterære dikkedarer og i et enkelt og hverdagsagtigt sprog genkendelige miljøer og mennesker. Forfatterskabet kan i sit hele ses som et forsøg på at definere de sociale faktorer bag menneskelig ulykke og anskueliggøre social og eksistentiel afmagt i form af skyldfølelse, samvittighedsnag og had. Selv om Martha Christensen med sit beskedne væsen selv fremstod som en stille eksistens i dansk litteratur, tilhørte hun ikke de oversete: de fleste af hendes romaner udkom i store oplag, og hun var ofte i rampelyset, fik tildelt priser og mødte sin brede læserskare; de helt almindelige danskere, der var at finde i hendes bøger. I 1988 modtog hun De gyldne Laurbær for det, der anses for at være hendes hovedværk, familieromanen "Dansen med Regitze" – om den livskraftige Regitze, der får konstateret uhelbredelig kræft og hendes mand, arbejderen Karl Aage.
