David Sedaris: Live For Your Listening Pleasure

If you were lucky enough to have caught a performance on David Sedaris’s most recent sold-out, 34-city tour, you already know that David Sedaris Live For Your Listening Pleasure is a must-have album! If you didn’t hear it live and in person, then you’re in for a treat-hilarious brand-new recordings from performances in Denver, New York, Durham, LA, and Atlanta, in one convenient audiobook collection, on sale November 24 for only $17.98.

From the bold feral rabbits of his French backyard to the eating habits of a carnivorous bird Down Under, Live For Your Listening Pleasure takes listeners on a veritable tour of natural wonders, beginning with a fable, “Cat and Baboon,” and moving on to the peculiarly American habitat of the “big-box” store.

“Sedaris’s sparkling essays always shimmer more brightly when read aloud by the author. And his expert timing, mimicry and droll asides are never more polished than during live performances in front of an audience.” Publishers Weekly, Starred Review – When You Are Engulfed in Flames

Track Listing:

1: Cat and Baboon (Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre in Denver, Colorado)

2-5: Author, Author (Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City)

Car Talk Classics: Four Perfectly Good Hours

Four all-time favorite episodes from the popular radio show—complete, unexpurgated, and hilarious.

Click and Clack may be America’s most trusted car repair experts. They are certainly the funniest, as millions of listeners who tune in each week to Car Talk can attest. As each show unfolds, it develops its own zany feeling and rhythm, sometimes due to the strength of the coffee or a particularly large burr in Tommy’s undershorts.

This Car Talk set is for fans who want to waste another four perfectly good hours. Rather than a “best of” collection, it’s four complete shows—every call, every joke, every “Don’t drive like my brother” admonition, every puzzler, every punny mention of a fictional show staff member (chauffeur Picov Andropov, night club manager Don Kashane), and every maniacal laugh.

The four shows include the 2002 Mother’s Day extravaganza with Click and Clack’s long-suffering mom, and “You Can’t Do It Unless the Number Is Two” from February 2001, the show that gave birth to a new Car Talk mantra and exposed Tommy’s radical views on education (like, it should end after 7th grade).
