Resumen del Editor
An immersive audio dramatization featuring 15 award-winning actors, The Real Education of TJ Crowley is a fast-paced, suspenseful coming-of-age story. A heartrending yet hopeful tale, it vividly transports listeners to the American heartland at the height of the Civil Rights movement.
Inspired by true events, this adaptation by director/producer May Wuthrich and Grant Overstake, author of the acclaimed novel, recaptures the trials faced by a generation of young teens.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s slaying sparks riots as the bitter divide over civil rights and the Vietnam War wracks the country, and Wichita, Kansas is no exception. There, 13-year-old TJ Crowley, who’s about to face his first year of junior high at a newly integrated school, lives alone with his unstable mother, Kate.
The Fair Housing Act results in the unthinkable for the Crowleys when a Black family, headed by the eminent Dr. Washington, crosses the racial red line and moves in right next door. TJ’s mother panics and makes a desperate call to Ray, a former boyfriend, who’s released from prison just in time to take care of the “problem next door.”
Tensions escalate as the Crowleys build a fence at their property line and TJ’s mom declares “them” off-limits. But at school, TJ is getting to know his new classmate, Ivy, the girl next door. And when TJ eavesdrops from afar, the Negro spirituals her father plays in his converted garage, piques his curiosity.
Following a series of dramatic events, TJ decides to accept the doctor’s invitation and crosses the forbidden line to visit his neighbors. When poor behavior and bad grades ruin TJ’s chances to play football and basketball, track and field is his only chance for redemption at school. A former athlete, the doctor prescribes the shot put, teaching TJ to launch the iron ball in secret sessions behind the fence. Meanwhile, local hate crimes trace back to Ray and detectives lean on TJ to help capture the criminal in his own home.
In this gripping audio drama, circumstances beyond TJ’s control force him to decide who he is, what he believes, and on which side of the fence he chooses to belong.
Dani Martineck’s explosive portrayal of the vulnerable TJ and Dion Graham’s performance as the soulful Dr. Washington lead this stunning production of award-winning actors, including Tavia Gilbert as Kate, Shayna Small as Ivy, Johnny Heller as Ray, and Sheila Brown Kinnard as Mrs. Washington, a role inspired by her activist mother, Josephine Brown.
Sound effects and music from the acclaimed ARISE Ensemble bring authenticity to the listening experience; and, Grant Overstake, a former Miami Herald Sports writer, adds excitement to tense moments in the bleachers and on the field.

Historia
Kids today are more gender fluent and expansive than ever before. In America, around two percent of teenagers (over 700,000) openly identify as transgender. As it becomes increasingly common for us to encounter and know transgender kids, as well as kids with more expansive notions of gender than past generations, it is vital that we have the tools we need in order to truly see and support them. Free to Be is an authoritative deep dive by internationally renowned child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turban into the science, medicine, and politics of gender identity.

Historia
The emo kid, the loner, the cynical wallflower with an attitude. It's no secret that I've never quite fit in. But it's glaringly obvious now that I've moved to this Podunk small town that seems to run entirely on sugar, friendliness, and cheer. (And cows, an ungodly number of cows.) I hate it—this place where everyone knows everyone, and I'm still the outsider. Who wants to fit in anyway? I've never really tried, never even thought I wanted to…until I met him. Jimbob is living his best life out here, farming the fields of Kansas, well and truly happy. And I just don't get it.

As Wyn’s search for the perfect story leads her to an anonymous, campus-wide dating app, she hits it off with a mystery man she thinks might be the cute RA from her dorm. But Wyn is all too familiar with being rejected because of her weight, and she’s hesitant to reveal her identity, even as she grows closer with someone who might be the guy of her dreams. When Three breaks a story that’s closer to home than he or Wyn expects, the two must put aside their differences to expose the truth—and face their real feelings for each other, which threaten everything Wyn has built.

It’s been a year since eighteen-year-old River Lang’s best friend died in a car accident. And every day since, he’s had to pass by the depressing billboard that appeared as a result: a texting and driving PSA that reduces Dylan to a cautionary tale and River to the best friend of the dead kid at school. Dylan was so much more than a statistic, though, and River hates that everyone in town seems to have forgotten. When he’s caught improving (a.k.a. vandalizing) Dylan’s billboard, River is blackmailed into joining the Affinity Trials.

His meaty muscles and smoldering silver eyes already haunt my dreams. And I know for a fact that he’s lonely like me.

Five years ago, Kelana Gardavros lost everything in the war against the Pale empire. Now Kel Garda is just another refugee living on the edge of an isolated star system. No one knows she was once a member of an Order whose military arm was disbanded and scattered across the galaxy. And no one knows that if her enemies found her, they might destroy the entire world to get rid of her. Kel’s past intrudes in the form of a long-dormant Pale war machine, suddenly reactivated. If the massive automaton isn’t stopped, at best it will carve a swath of devastation that displaces thousands of people.
