October,
am I right? There's just something so special about this month. Maybe it's because it feels like the height of the fall season, with its sweater weather and beautiful foliage. Not to mention the excuse to traipse around farms to find the perfect pumpkin to carve (that’s considered a science, right?). While city life still doesn’t offer many apple orchards and pumpkin patches, for those of you who’ve been following my misadventures in my new apartment, I did get a chance to sneak away from city life last month for a weekend of apple picking! I always find agricultural settings like that so fascinating. And with such a rich history of agriculture and food safety in the US, there’s no shortage of listening to pair with my spiced pumpkin pie, warm apple cider, and an excessive amount of candy corn. Or if you’re more interested in the spooky side of October, there’s plenty for you to listen to, too. Halloween is just around the corner, after all!- Michael, Audible editor

It's getting hot in here
There’s been a lot of coverage on the danger of rising temperatures and climate change lately. Just last month, the Columbia Journalism Review launched Covering Climate Now, an initiative that led up to the United Nations Climate Summit. In The Big Melt, you get the chance to get up close and personal with the rapidly melting Thwaites Glacier. It’s an unfortunate (albeit fascinating) environmental thriller with real-life consequences.

Historia
Inside Michael’s craft supply store, cashier Ann Chapman rings up another customer. Then it happens. A loud crack; a gust of wind; the light in register five goes dark. Over the next 23 days, the entire DC area will be thrust into a reign of terror unprecedented in American history. Sniper attacks targeting and murdering everyday citizens will bring the entire region to its knees as a nation still reeling from the recent attacks of 9/11 and the anthrax scare is forced to confront a new type of brutal assault - this time in their own backyard.

A never-before-told story of American terror
The early 2000s were a turbulent time in American history. Amidst the fear and paranoia of post-9/11 DC, there was a series of sniper attacks in and around the metro area. Anchored by harrowing accounts from both the victims and FBI agent brothers Jim and Tim Clemente, fellow editor Kat (and our true crime expert) calls this listen a nuanced look at a case that briefly united a country in fear.

Historia
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.

Historia
The case began in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1922 and lasted for over a decade. The killer has never been found, and the case continues to fascinate true-crime aficianados. A bon vivant Episcopal minister, a not-so-virginal soprano in his choir. The wealthy wife. Her oddball brother. Their furtive maid. The snooping congregants. The bumbling detectives. And in the denouement, a trial, one of the more notable of America’s Jazz Age, covered by the likes of Damon Runyon, Dorothy Dix and James Thurber. All of it hanging on the dramatic testimony of a single, strange witness.
