Adam Finnegan didn't set out to write a book about biological warfare. He just wanted his life back. In 2016, a single tick bite launched him into a living hell of dizziness, vertigo, searing headaches, and a fatigue so profound it stole the man he used to be. He walked the halls of modern medicine only to be told he'd be fine in a few weeks, and when he wasn't, that he wasn't sick at all. He was a ghost in his own body, abandoned by the very system designed to heal him.His Lyme disease diagnosis wasn't an ending; it was a terrifying beginning. It was a key that unlocked a door he never knew existed. As he fought for his own health, a single, haunting question drove him: Why? Why was this disease, and the chronic illness it created, such a medical mystery? Why were so many being told they weren't sick?His personal battle for survival became an all-consuming obsession for the truth. This quest led him down a rabbit hole of classified history, to a German virologist named Dr. Erich Traub and the top-secret labs of Plum Island. In a Herculean effort no other researcher had undertaken, Finnegan, fighting his own debilitating symptoms, collected and translated Traub's entire archive of German research. He discovered the scientist's chilling work on "immune tolerance” the very mechanism that allows a pathogen to hijack the body and create chronic illness, turning it into a "Great Imitator" that evades diagnosis.The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare was born from a seven-year battle for survival. It is the direct result of one man's refusal to accept his fate. This isn't just a book; it's a roadmap of his personal investigation, a journey that began with his own symptoms and ended with a staggering revelation: the science behind his suffering may have been engineered in a laboratory as a weapon of war.Finnegan turned his personal pain into a relentless pursuit of the facts, meticulously documenting his findings with official records, declassified documents, and the testimony of intelligence insiders. This is the story of how a man fighting a disease in his own blood uncovered a biological secret hidden in the shadows of history. His fight is your fight, and his discovery is a revelation that could change everything we thought we knew about chronic illness.

The true story of the corrupt and violent town of Borger, Texas in 1927―and the legendary Texas Ranger tasked with taming it.Just a year after the town of Borger, Texas was founded, the press called it "the wickedest in the state" for good reason. The town, sprung into existence overnight to support the oilfields, was a second chance for many residents but had also become a lawless haven for bootleggers, pimps and gamblers, run by a crooked city hall.That environment attracts some of the most unsavory characters in prohibition America, including a gang of murderous bank robbers who head into Borger to spend their money on booze, gambling and prostitutes. In the span of weeks, the gang kills three law enforcement officers, bringing the worst heat imaginable: legendary Texas Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, years before he will lead the 1934 posse that tracked down and killed criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. His arrival threatens to break even this hardest boomtown in America―if it doesn't kill him first.What follows is one of the most thrilling and violent untold stories from the era of gangsters, lawmen and vice. Author Joe Pappalardo brings to life a town previously lost in the haze of history.

THE ROLLING STONES: The Biography (on sale April 21, 2026) offers readers an all-access backstage pass to one of popular music's greatest stories. Drawing on hundreds of new interviews and five years of archival research, award-winning author Bob Spitz delivers an unprecedented, richly detailed portrait of the band that redefined rock 'n' roll-and whose power shows no signs of fading, over sixty years on.At its heart, this story is about two boys, Mick and Keith, and their unique, fraught, alchemical bond, tested through the years but never broken. The bandmates, like Charlie Watts, who found their groove in relation to this double star, made the trip intact, while those who struggled, like Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, were chewed up and spit out. Spitz vividly traces the Stones' artistic inspiration, pivotal moments in the band's rise and reinvention, and the deeply human stories behind the myth.Along the way, Spitz revises many elements of the conventional narrative, underscoring just how carefully the band has controlled its own story up to now. One small example: no, Muddy Waters was not mopping the floors at Chess Records when the Stones showed up. But in a larger sense, as with the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, Spitz's greatest gift is for the big picture. He knows where the magic is, and why it is. Spitz is as clear-eyed a connoisseur of the show business, the spectacle, and the collateral damage of this whirlwind as anyone alive, and he serves as an essential guide to the band's unique history.The story of The Rolling Stones has many dark moments, including a surprising number of deaths. But whether Jagger and Richards sold their souls to the devil at the crossroads for blues greatness or just squeezed their heroes for every drop of inspiration, in the end their connection to their music and to each other put them in a category of one. Rock music fans and pop culture lovers alike will be captivated by this wild ride Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

As the Trump administration scrubs Jan 6 records, issues mass pardons to over 1,200 rioters, and faces lawsuits from those same insurrectionists accusing police of excessive force, an Off-Off-Broadway comedy confronts the insurrection’s chaotic aftermath with sharp laughs. No one else has satirized Jan 6 in a stoner rock-n-roll situation-comedy play. Come and Knock Down My Door, written by film and theater artist and satirist Alex Emanuel (son of famous political illustrator Robert Grossman) and directed by actor/director Philip Cruise, premieres May 7-30 at NYC’s The Gene Frankel Theatre (16 performances, $35). Set on Jan 7, 2021, it follows a pot-dealing Trump supporter returning to his liberal NYC roommates amid FBI fears - hilarity through the heartache of a divided America. Director Cruise notes: “If I can make the audience laugh while calling attention to the piece of history that so many are trying to rewrite and erase, I’m doing my job as a theatre producer and as an American.” Playwright Emanuel adds: “Now is surely the time for it. We need to laugh, and we need to be reminded of how we got here. Like political caricature lampoons figures, a situation like Jan 6 and its aftermath exists to be ridiculed. Our late-night comedians are losing their jobs now and we cannot only depend on them.” Audience feedback from readings has been glowing: “Brought a light touch to a heavy subject with no loss of impact or weight,” “A very funny, prescient and somewhat terrifying play,” and “Come and Knock Down My Door could be an underground sensation!” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

For centuries, people have debated, measured, regulated and theorized about emotion. But no single work has attempted to define the full landscape of everyday emotional states across disciplines — until now. Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart by D. Earl Johnston presents the first fully cross-disciplinary reference defining 272 emotional states drawn from 3,000 years of recorded thought in the fields of philosophy, science, linguistics, psychology, art and spiritual traditions. “Not since Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence has there been such a needed shift in public discourse around emotions. Choosing Emotions seeks to do this, focusing first and foremost on how we define and categorize them,” says Johnston. “The result is akin to a Barlett’s Thesaurus solely on the topic of emotions, and it is every bit as entertaining.”Going far beyond primal feelings of fear, anger, joy and sorrow, Choosing Emotions seeks to address what Johnston describes as a foundational gap in emotional literacy, or the ability to understand, express and regulate emotions. According to the book’s research notes, roughly 25% of the 272 emotional states included in the book are not found in major psychology dictionaries, including commonly used terms such as admiration, confidence, procrastination and zeal. The work expands the discussion beyond psychology, incorporating definitional perspectives from seven fields and more than 30 faith and philosophical traditions.

The very first The Voice: Battle of Champions winner has been crowned with Coach Adam Levine and his Artist Alexia Jayy wowing the audience of The Voice .A standout going back to the Blind Auditions when she earned the first Triple Chair Turn of the season and brought her son Matthew on stage to celebrate, Jayy proceeded to just get more and more confident each week until she landed her critical trio of Finale song performances.On the red carpet at the Blue Note Jazz Club in Hollywood on April 14, Jayy and Levine reunited to celebrate their win publicly for the first time. She shared with NBC Insider that while the Finale was pre-recorded, she kept her victory a secret, even from her son!"You know what? He was actually watching tonight, so he just found out," Jayy shared, laughing. "I go home for the weekend and we're going to throw a big party."With this win, Levine is now tied with fellow Battle of Champions Coach Kelly Clarkson. "It's fun to win," Levine told NBC Insider with a smile. "I think that I needed to take the break I took and when I came back it was really fun and easy. It's been fun. I don't know whatever it is but I hope it keeps on working for me."While Levine was able to keep Jayy on his team all season long, the Maroon 5 frontman admitted to NBC Insider aside from that, he can't take much credit for her win."I don't say that just to be humble," Levine said. "She was so calm. I didn't need to tell her much. I mean, there were little moments where she would be nervous and she's like, 'How do I get out of my head?' And I'm like, 'Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't worry about winning because that's not something you should concern yourself with. You should just do your best and see where it takes you.' But most of the time, she was always game-ready and so I was really just her biggest cheerleader."

Your dad texts you, "If you don't hear from me after Saturday, remember that I love you."He's not dying. He's getting a new phone.That's the tone of DAD CAN YOU NOT? (Countryman Press, Norton; 4.21.26), the new book from the internet's "unofficial Dad translator" Chip Leighton, whose viral dad content has racked up millions of views by documenting the everyday ways well-meaning fathers manage to embarrass their families and often without realizing it.Built from real stories submitted by kids, partners, and families (plus plenty from Chip himself), Dad, Can You Not? is a lovingly brutal catalog of dad behavior everyone recognizes instantly: confusing emojis, misusing slang, eating the wrong thing because "it was in a bowl," commenting on social media posts that absolutely did not need commentary, and confidently saying the wrong thing at the worst possible moment.This isn't a parenting guide. It's an anti-handbook. A how-not-to manual for dads who are trying their best-and somehow still doing too much.Structured in short, highly visual sections, the book moves through classic danger zones: texting and social media, food mishaps, school and sports events, public outings, and everyday conversations that go off the rails. Along the way, Leighton includes real texts from kids ("Dad, please stop"), quizzes that measure how "Dad" your behavior truly is, and crowd-sourced stories that prove embarrassing dad moments are a universal experience. What makes the book land isn't just the jokes, it's the recognition. Readers don't have to imagine these dads. They already know them. They live with them. They're related to them. In many cases. yes, they are them.Chip, whose first book What Time is Noon? was an instant New York Times bestseller, brings the same sharp, self-aware humor that made his online work resonate-but on the page, the jokes breathe. There's room for the kids' voices, the spouses' side-eyes, and the dads' sincere (if misguided) intentions.The result is a fast, laugh-out-loud read that works as a gift, a stress reliever, and a mirror no dad asked for. but probably needs.Because somewhere right now, a dad is replying "LOL" to very serious news. And someone is saying, once again: "Dad can you not." Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Long before Keisha Lance Bottoms rose to prominence in politics, she was a daddy's girl from the west side of Atlanta-the baby of her family, who did well in school, though she talked too much in class; an outgoing kid who dreamed of growing up to be elegant and charismatic like her parents, cool like her older siblings and big cousins, and the pride of her very large Southern family.After law school, Bottoms worked as an attorney, served as a judge, and was elected to City Council and the mayorship, where she garnered national attention for her leadership during the pandemic and George Floyd protests. Later, she was appointed senior advisor in President Joe Biden's administration.Yet Bottoms felt disquieted internally. She was in her early fifties and approaching the age her beloved father was when he died. She couldn't shake the feeling that something in her life was missing, like she'd forgotten to bring an essential element of herself along for her ascension. Stepping away from the daily political grind, Bottoms realized how much she'd sanded down parts of herself on her path to professional success. She'd tucked away the fuller details about her dad's drug abuse and prison stint for dealing; the sexual abuse she endured; the eating disorder she developed; the close-knit, utterly unpolished family who doted on her and gave her an incredible foundation of love and confidence but whose influence she'd smoothed to a sleek, charming, campaign-ready sheen. She thought that was the price of upward mobility. Then she realized she was wrong.The Rough Side of the Mountain is about this excavation. It's Bottoms's deeply affecting journey to rescue a version of herself that she thought she had to leave behind to succeed. An homage to the lessons from kinfolk plainly told, hers is a timely and heartfelt memoir about unmasking oneself, the joys of authenticity, embracing what you sspreading that powerful message.
