The ScoreJoin Now to Follow

Twenty-four hours a day in every city in America, you can hear shock jock radio types screaming their outrage at the latest sports scandal. The din has become so loud and so steady that I, for one, am thirsting for the poetry, the sociology, the philosophy of sports. On "The Score," I hope to tell poignantly inspirational stories, cover the broad spectrum of characters who play parts in the sports world and lift listeners to feel a passion for sports, as I do.

Librivox: Visit to the Holy Land, Egypt, and Italy, A by Pfeiffer, Ida LauraJoin Now to Follow

Ida Pfeiffer travelled alone in an era when women didn't travel. She went first on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, then went on to Egypt and Italy. Understanding the difficulties a woman would face travelling alone and on a budget, she made a will before she left. Go she did, however; and upon her return she wrote this book. She used the proceeds to finance her next trip - six months in Iceland. (Summary by Sibella Denton)

Librivox: Personal Recollections of Early Melbourne and Victoria by Westgarth, WilliamJoin Now to Follow

Son of John Westgarth, surveyor-general of customs for Scotland, was born at Edinburgh, in June 1815. He was educated at the high schools at Leith and Edinburgh, and at Dr Bruce's school at Newcastle-on-Tyne. He then entered the office of G. Young and Company of Leith, who were engaged in the Australian trade, and realizing the possibilities of the new land, decided to emigrate to Australia. He arrived in Melbourne, then a town of three or four thousand inhabitants, in December 1840. When the new colony was constituted Westgarth headed the poll for Melbourne at the election for the legislative council. He had had many activities during the previous 10 years. He revisited Australia in 1888 and was everywhere welcomed. When the Melbourne international exhibition was opened he walked in the procession through the avenue of nations alongside Mr Francis Henty, then the sole survivor of the brotherhood who founded Victoria. As a result of his visit two volumes appeared Personal Recollections of Early Melbourne and Victoria, in 1888, and Half a Century of Australasian Progress, in 1889. Returning to Great Britain Westgarth died suddenly at Edinburgh on 28 October 1889. He married in 1853 and left a widow and two daughters. http://www.electricscotland.com/history/australia/westgarth_william.htm
