from Deserted · host Matt Wade

Pete Cooper spent much of his youth in front of and inside computers. His fascination with making things go faster than they were supposed to turned out to be expensive and time-consuming. The smell of burning silicon and PCB became too much to deal with and he made the switch from PC to Mac in 2003. Since then, he’s been a smug Mac user and recently became entangled in the murky world of British podcasting, something he holds host Neil Dixon partially responsible for. Just over one year later, he’s been involved with an increasing number of podcasts with both his wife and other people, most of which seemed like good ideas at the time, but then something more shiny came along and took priority.

Corner House by Fred M. White Loyal Books A deserted house with a troubled past. A mysterious countess who captivates everyone with her wealth and beauty -- well, almost everyone. An equally mysterious derelict who holds a secret to the countess's past. A fresh crime that threatens to ruin a promising young doctor. A plucky young governess determined to save him. Who will prevail? Life of John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough by Louise Creighton Loyal Books John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough , was the oldest surviving son of Sir Winston Churchill, an impoverished country gentleman. After the restoration of Charles II, John's sister, Arabella, became the mistress of the King's brother, James, Duke of York. The family fortunes were made and Churchill's military career launched. In the winter of 1677-78, Churchill married Sarah Jennings, the intimate friend of the future Queen Anne. Ruthlessly changing sides during the Glorious Revolution, he deserted his patron James and joined the army of William of Orange. Marlborough's brilliant generalship in the War of the Spanish Succession destroyed the myth of French military invincibility and won him the adoration of the British people. But Marlborough fell from power when his wife's relationship with Queen Anne ended rancorously and when the peace-loving Tories ousted his wartime supporters, the Whigs. - Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D. SOS VHS 7EQUIS Stranded on a deserted island, the SOS VHS crew discuss their favorite movies!
