Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson Loyal Books A heady mix of thrills, mystery, atmosphere and memorable characters, Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic adventure story that has enthralled both young and old alike ever since it was first published in 1883. Right from the racy opening chapter where the young hero Jim Hawkins encounters a mysterious guest, Billy Bones, at the Admiral Benbow Inn run by his widowed mother, the tale carries the reader off on an edge-of-the-seat roller-coaster ride of non-stop action and drama.Set in 18th century England and told entirely from Jim Hawkins' youthful perspective, the novel portrays how he is drawn unwittingly into the dark deeds of pirates and buccaneers on the English coast. The excitement begins when he discovers a cryptic treasure map in Billy Bones' chest when the secretive Billy succumbs to a fatal heart attack. Jim takes the strange map to trusted elders in the village, Squire Trelawney and Doctor Livesey, who at once guess that the map marks the location of the PROPER PROPAGANDA w/Ennis da Mennis John Wellington Ennis Chuck D once said that rap music is like CNN for Black America. Imagine a news radio show, but instead of headlines you are getting news reports through hip hop tracks. Social commentary and patriotic dissent through old school and underground hip hop, airing Friday nights on Radio Free Brooklyn at 11 p.m. EST/8 p.m. PST. Rebroadcast Sunday at 3 a.m. EST or Saturday at midnight PST. Episode posted online the following Monday. Hand picked in Hollywood, mixed with classic comedy clips and political punchlines, rolled into a blunt of Old school, underground, West Coast, boom bap, conscious, and backpack. Uncensored. Billy Is That You? TarheelBilly A hilarious romp through the old south with a gay tar heel born in the 1950s. From relatives from Piedmont North Carolina whose tobacco farming roots date back to 1752 to the underbelly of dysfunctional southern universities, the rug gets rolled back on the heritage and idiosyncrasies on the south. No one and nothing is spared including those "church going" Christians. Women in the Methodist Choir become so furious with the tough taskmaster of a choir director that at a social function they mix up a highball with straight vodka and Tang. The choir director downs it and passes out. Capturing a south of yesteryear that is slowly dying and meshing with the vanilla lives of today is the goal here so that these colorful characters aren't lost to history. Getting Through This with Tom and Scott Tom Saunders The podcast that's 40 years in the making, because they're both procrastinators. Comedy writer Tom Saunders and political comedian Scott Blakeman help you navigate The New Normal, which is The Old Normal for them, since their comedy careers already require that they spend huge amounts of time at home. Their show peers back into the past, stares unflinchingly at the present, and imagines a more hopeful future, with flights of fancy and many tangents as well.
