When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

Compelling and well researched

Great balance of interviews, research and journalism. Great voices too, a very interesting listen. Appreciated the depth of the conversation and how the hosts made the subject matter personal

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,595
Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of an art gallery in Los Angeles, is reluctant to take her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band. But since her divorce, she's more eager than ever to be close to Isabelle. The last thing Solène expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship.

This is a poorly written middle aged lady fbook. That’s all it is.
Reviewed: 05-14-24
This is poorly written in terms of character development, language use and even the old lady sex, the entire draw of the book, is poorly written. If it fails a reverse Bechdel test for characterization, it’s poorly written. If none of the main characters have any story independent of an old lady fking, it’s poorly written. If all it aspires to be is an old lady fbook, it’s poorly written. There are military academies abounding for poorly written old lady fk adventure books that are plausible. No amount of forced French accents and implausible circumstances can take you to a new setting if you’re writing an old lady fkbook with poor descriptions of sex. Selling out to Netflix doesn’t make this a better book. Nor does Anne Hathaway, or a delivery so riddled with vocal fry that it has Kris Jenner looking into a cease and desist. It’s a poor story poorly written. Netflix can only do it justice, don’t waste a download or hours of your life.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,606
Roger Stringer grew up in rural Mississippi, hunting and eating everything from deer to rabbits. When he had two sons, Zac and Justin, he gave them guns and took them to the woods as well. Then one day when the boys were home alone, he got a call from Zac that Justin had been shot. What follows is an intimate and gripping memoir about the shooting’s aftermath. The story moves between the perspectives of Roger and Zac as they take us through their journey of betrayal, redemption, and ultimately confrontation with a company that had kept its corruption a secret for decades.

Jfc this is why people who can’t use google or read and write beyond a 9th grade level really don’t need to have litters of poorly supervised, conditionally-loved kids.
Do you want 3 hours of a deep south accent justifying why they love a gun more than their kid? Did the wrong kid die? Do you ever blame all your personal shortcomings on some ambiguous patriarchal god that looks the other way ever time you F up? YUP AND HOLD MY BEER? This one’s fee yew. Whoooweeeeeee and ‘Murrica

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

Good Ole Boy Rapes, Presented Like an Ad for Disney
Reviewed: 09-01-21
A great analysis of how and why a serial rapist and murderer is made. Would have liked a deeper analysis into how and why the author is such good friends with the community members who “forgot” (author’s words) the incidents happened, but there’s no courage there. Presenter has the joy and effervescence of someone selling you a week long package at Disneyland. Tone deaf on so many levels…even audibly.
