Historia
In 1979, Wisconsin native Tim McBride hopped into his Mustang and headed south. He was 21, and his best friend had offered him a job working as a crab fisherman in Chokoloskee Island, a town of fewer than 500 people on Florida's Gulf Coast. Easy of disposition and eager to experience life at its richest, McBride jumped in with both feet. But this wasn't a typical fishing outfit.

Historia
The door to magic is closed, but it’s not locked. And now Joshua Jay, one of the world’s most accomplished magicians, not only opens that door but brings us inside to reveal the artistry and obsessiveness, esoteric history, and long-whispered-about traditions of a subject shrouded in mystery. In 52 short, compulsively listenable essays, Jay describes how he does it, whether it’s through the making of illusions, the psychology behind them, or the way technology influences the world of magic.

After the end of World War II, the race for technological supremacy sped on. Top-secret research into ballistics and computing, begun during the war to aid those on the front lines, continued across the United States as engineers and programmers rushed to complete their confidential assignments. Among them were six pioneering women, tasked with figuring out how to program the world's first general-purpose, programmable, all-electronic computer—better known as the ENIAC. Proving Ground restores these women to their rightful place as technological revolutionaries.

On April 6, 1965, Georges Lemay was relaxing on his yacht in a south Florida marina following one of the largest and most daring bank heists in Canadian history. For four years, the roguishly handsome criminal mastermind hid in plain sight, eluding capture and the combined efforts of the FBI, Interpol, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His future appeared secure. What Lemay didn't know was that less than two hundred miles away at Cape Canaveral, a brilliant engineer named Harold Rosen was about to usher in the age of global live television.

With no way out and her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere.

For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the sixties and were childhood friends, as well as Little League all-stars.

By 1930, no place in the world was less well explored than Greenland. The native Inuit had occupied the relatively accessible west coast for centuries. The east coast, however, was another story. In August 1930, Henry George Watkins (nicknamed “Gino”), a twenty-three-year-old British explorer, led thirteen scientists and explorers on an ambitious expedition to the east coast of Greenland and into its vast and forbidding interior to set up a permanent meteorological base on the icecap, 8,200 feet above sea level.

Resumen del Editor
As featured on Netflix’s “Bad Sport,” the high-octane Seabiscuit-meets-Scarface story of how Randy Lanier became a 1980s international sports star, soaring through the ranks of car racing while holding a dark secret: he was also one of the biggest pot smugglers in American history
As a kid, Randy Lanier dreamed of achieving four-wheel glory at the Indianapolis 500, but knew he’d never be able to afford the most expensive sport on earth. That all changed when he bought a speedboat and began smuggling pot from the Bahamas. Fueled by what would become a historically massive smuggling operation, he started racing cars and became an overnight sensation. For Randy and his teammates, money was no object, and bigger hauls meant faster cars. At every event they attended, they were behind the wheel of the best machinery, flaunting their secret in front of huge crowds and live television cameras. But no matter how fast they drove, they couldn’t outrun the law. As Randy came ever closer to reaching his dream of high-speed glory, one of the biggest drug scandals ever to hit the professional sports world was about to unfold.
Set in the 1980s Florida of Miami Vice, this is the unbelievable, unforgettable, unparalleled story of an ordinary guy whose attempts to become famous doing the thing he wanted most—become a world class race car driver—devolved into a you-can’t-make-this-up tale of one of the biggest crime rings and drug scandals of the 1980s. Now, with the help of New York Times bestselling author A.J. Baime, Randy tells the whole truth for the first time ever, a gripping narrative unlike any other, a sports story for the ages, and shocking a true crime epic.

The Time Bandit is the fishing vessel that Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand use to hook the "deadliest catch", Alaskan king crabs and opilio crabs, in the Bering Sea, a dangerous body of water that can steal years from a fisherman's life. In pursuit of their daily catch, the brothers brave ice floes and heaving 60-foot waves, gusting winds of 80 miles per hour, unwieldy and unpredictable half-ton steel crab traps, and an injury rate of almost 100-percent.
There are fewer than 400 fishermen of this kind in the U.S., and early death is a common fate. But the Hillstrand brothers are drawn to the drama and adventure of life on the high seas - this is their world.

Great history here of the 80’s racing and drug world
This is a really good up close and personal look at how a bunch of guys got rich off drugs and went racing. Some of the facts aren’t accurate though like when they refer to the first Indy 500 in 1909..cmon a simple Google or knowledge of Indy lets you know it was 1911. Also the mispronunciation of drivers names like Luyendyk, Sneva, and others was annoying. I wouldn’t give 5 stars to the narrator but the story is 5 stars for sure!

worth it but not great
the story is good but the performance wears down. the editing and performance really wear down what could have been a fantastic story.
needed to be smoother story. it's just event. chapter. event. chapter. over and over.
Randy is endearing towards the end.

Very Interesting
Very intriguing story that kept my attention the whole time. I wish the author would have dove a little deeper on some things but there are probably too many people in the story still alive.

One of the best motorsports stories EVER.
Randy knows driving and racing, plain and simple. That alone would’ve made a great book alone, but his off-track escapades are the stuff of legend and eons beyond any expectation I had. Definitely the best racing book I’ve read in a while, added with intriguing stories of what was probably the largest weed-smuggling operation of the 1980s,

Surprising, Gripping, and so Human
I thought this would be an interesting and potentially exciting book--- a race car driver moonlighting as a drug smuggler or a drug smuggler moonlighting as a race car driver. It was both of those things. What I did not expect was for this book to be so incredibly human. While I am sure that Randy Lanier leaves some things to be desired as a person, I was surprised by how much his story made me identify with him. There were times when I found myself shouting out loud at the end of a chapter "Dude! Quit while you're ahead!" "C'mon! Don't be Stupid!" But there were just as many times when I laughed out loud and found myself cheering on his creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
The narration was great, and when I finished the book it was a shocker to be reminded that it wasn't narrated by the author himself. This is the second book I have listed to from this narrator, and was amazed at how different it was from the other one.
This book was so much more than I expected.

Fun but tempered by author because
when a convicted criminal writes they always see themselves in the best light. Glad he came out the other side with a positive life that hopefully is true to his recollections. Romanticizes drug smuggling and culture- but I still enjoyed hearing about it- especially the car racing.
