  Exclusive "real life" CDs

 put some of America's best known people in your living room

Ever wished you could have listened to Mickey Mantle and talk with him about baseball, his choice of the best baseball players ever,  his strained relationship with fellow Yankee Joe DiMaggio, why he once quit the Yankees and much more.   In 1986 a writer had breakfast with the great Mick at a New York restaurant and, with the famous player's permission,  taped a very candid conversation.  Between bacon and eggs and numerous cups of coffee, Mick talked about some of his brightest and darkest moments on the playing field and in his life. This exclusive conversation is now on CD.  Now available for $19.95 plus s/h.

Every reader and writer will love this CD featuring an exclusive interview with Robert Ludlum

 

One day after his 40th birthday Robert Ludlum decided he would give himself three years to see if he could become a writer. The rest is written in The Parsifal Mosaic, The Bourne Identity, The Materese Circle and numerous other international best-sellers and movies. What were his "secrets" other writers didn't know? "I got most of my ideas about the CIA and foreign intrigue from books in the U.S. Government Printing Office in D.C." was his surprising answer. We spent an afternoon with Mr. Ludlum at his Connecticut home on the Long Island Sound in a long conversation about how to write successful "thrillers." Won't you join us by listening to this CD?

 "People traveling through America on the Interstates sometimes try to go to fast, too far. And they arrive at their destination not having seen much of anything." That's what  the late Charles Kuralt said one afternoon in his CBS office as he talked with us about the rewards exploring the back roads of America and how to meet people who live there and how to find the best local restaurants "where they take their parents on Sunday." He has many stories to tell about his trip and many of them are on this "real life" CD.
