Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

Utopia Avenue was hot en happening in 1967-1968. Het was de eigenzinnigste band ever, al heb je er nog nooit van gehoord. In de psychedelische dampen van Londen spinnen folkzangeres Elf Holloway, gitaarvirtuoos Jasper de Zoet, bluesbassist Dean en jazzdrummer Griff, een op vele vlakken onwaarschijnlijk viertal, goud uit hun muzikale samenwerking. Ruige tochten langs achterafzaaltjes, seks, drugs en roem in Soho, nieuwe drank en oude demonen, ups en downs: alles levert stof voor de songs op hun enige twee elpees.

David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

A phrase we often use when describing ourselves is “I am.” For many, when we look at ourselves and describe what we see, it is not what God intends. We see ourselves through the lens of the way life has shaped us rather than the vision God has of us. We need the corrective lens of God's word guided by His Holy Spirit to correct our vision. You might ask, “What would be different about the way God sees me than the way I see myself?” Quite simply, God knows all there is to know about you. He knows you better than you know yourself.

Året er 1799. Den unge hollandske sekretær Jacob de Zoet ankommer til den lille, menneskeskabte ø, Dejima, i Nagasaki Havn.

Hans oprindelige plan kompliceres dog, da han tilfældigt møder Orito Aibagawa, den lokale jordemoder, som han forelsker sig i.

Jahrzehnte werden vergehen, bis Holly Sykes genau versteht, was die alte Frau für ihre Existenz bedeutet. Die Knochenuhren folgt den Wendungen von Holly Sykes Leben von einer tristen Kindheit am Unterlauf der Themse bis zum hohen Alter an Irlands Atlantikküste, in einer Zeit, da Europa das Öl ausgeht.

Prosperity Spartanburg is gaining confidence in her new role as forensic pathologist for Martha’s Vineyard Police Department. Her associate Reuben Jackson certainly makes her job easier and a whole lot more enjoyable. As the chaos of clues surrounding Ophelia Rump’s untimely death slowly start to make sense, Prosperity and Reuben get ever closer to finding her killer.

David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

Designed as both a companion piece to the author's previous book, The Power of Understanding People, and a stand-alone work, The Power of Understanding Yourself provides listeners with a blueprint for examining their true purpose and approach to life and a map for achieving greater personal happiness, professional success, and self-awareness.

Create a healthy relationship with your adult child through clear boundaries and expectations. As your child becomes a young adult, your role must evolve to meet their ongoing, changing needs.

Welcome to the inside-out world of Mitchell and Webb, a strange and surreal place populated by misfits, eccentrics, talking animals and a few stray Radio 4 arts programme presenters. Included here are all five series of their fantastically skewed comedy show, packed with offbeat sketches and peculiar characters. Meet seedy snooker commentators Ted and Peter; poorly matched crime-fighting duo Angel Summoner and BMX Bandit; a cop who doesn't get results but, by God, he does things by the book; and some nervous Nazis who've just noticed their caps have skulls on them.

Über die phantastischste Sixties-Band, von der Sie noch nie gehört haben! In der Londoner Psychedelic-Szene der späten Sixties finden sich Folksängerin Elf Holloway, Bluesbassist Dean Moss, der Gitarrenvirtuose Jasper de Zoet and der Jazzdrummer Griff Griffin und erschaffen zusammen einen einzigartigen Sound. Dies ist die Geschichte von Utopia Avenues kurzer, rasanter Reise, von den kleinen Clubs in Soho und den englischen Provinzkäffern bis nach Amerika – gerade als der Sommer der Liebe etwas viel Dunklerem weicht.

Sechs Lebenswege, die sich unmöglich kreuzen können: darunter ein amerikanischer Anwalt, der um 1850 Ozeanien erforscht, ein britischer Komponist, der 1931 vor seinen Gläubigern nach Belgien flieht, und ein koreanischer Klon, der in der Zukunft wegen des Verbrechens angeklagt wird, ein Mensch sein zu wollen. Und dennoch sind diese Geschichten miteinander verwoben. Mitchells originelle Menschheitsgeschichte katapultiert den Hörer durch Räume, Zeiten, Genres und Erzählstile und liest sich dabei so leicht und fesselnd wie ein Abenteuerroman.

Mitchells grootste bestseller wereldwijd, met meer dan 50.000 exemplaren verkocht in Nederland en Vlaanderen. Wolkenatlas is alleen al door zijn 'matroesjka'-structuur uniek. Vijf verhalen worden verteld tot de helft: het avontuurlijke reisjournaal uit 1850 van notaris Ewing, de hilarische brieven van de musicerende oplichter Frobisher, de thriller van roddeljournaliste Luisa Rey, de krankzinnige lotgevallen van uitgever Cavendish en het vraaggesprek met de kloon Sonmi-451. Het zesde verhaal speelt ver in de toekomst, wanneer de mensheid bijna ten onder is gegaan.

The Imperial Guard are the backbone of the Imperium’s military strength. While the Space Marines get all the glory, it’s the guard that holds back the tide of threats that would soon drown the Imperium by sheer weight of numbers. These audio dramas bring you into their tanks, platoons and trenches to see how ordinary men and women face the horrors of the 41st Millennium.

Sjæle krydser tiden som skyer krydser himlen. På en strand på en fjerntliggende ø i Stillehavet støder den unge amerikaner Adam Ewing på en engelsk læge, der kravler rundt og leder efter tænder. Lægen mener at vide, at kannibalerne har holdt deres festmåltider netop her, og tænderne, som de har spyttet ud som kirsebærsten, vil han nu bruge til gebisser til den engelske adel. Adam Ewings Stillehavs-dagbog er den første af de seks fortællinger, der udgør David Mitchells storslåede "Skyatlas".
