Feng Menglong's Judge Bao: the Footsteps of a Spirit: ancient Chinese crime fiction retold by Michae

"The emergence of crime fiction was closely connected to the development of a modern legal system. In Germany there were the true crime stories August Gottlieb Meißner (1753-1804), in Britain The Newgate Calendar (1774) and in France the romanticized publications of Eugène-François Vidocq (1775-1857), the first chief of the Sûreté.  China has one of the oldest bureaucracies on earth. A real life judge from the early Middle Ages became their Sherlock Holmes, and was transformed into one of the most beloved Chinese literary characters. In this audiobook Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, retells a classic gong’an legend about the iconic Judge Bao. The original story was published by Feng Menglong (1574–1646), but this is not a direct translation."

[Norwegian Bokmål] - Mitt kandidatur ved guvernørvalget i 1870, av Mark Twain: Oversatt og lest av M

"Mark Twain, Amerikas mest kjente humorist, publiserte en satirisk artikkel i forbindelse ved guvernørvalget i New York i 1870. Den treffer det politiske Amerika like godt i valgåret 2024 som den gjorde i 1870 - til tross for at Twain skildret den maktkampen han så i sin samtid. Det politiske livet ser ikke ut til å ha endret seg nevneverdig. Teksten er oversatt av Michael Henrik Wynn, redaktør for nettradioen Historyradio.org, og blir lest av ham selv."

A Secret Frozen in Time, by Shunrō Oshikawa: adapted for radio by Michael Henrik Wynn

"Shunrō Oshikawa (1876-1914) was one the two most important founders of Japanese science fiction (the other being Unno Juza, 1897-1949). This story is a charming tribute to all those engaged in historical research. A young Portuguese child discovers an empty beer bottle on a beach. Her father, a well known scientist, discovers a message inside that may solve one of the greatest mysteries in the West African chronicles.  This is a radio version, and not a translation. It has been adapted for historyradio.org by Michael Henrik Wynn, and he also plays the part of the traveler."
