Nightfall: Radio dramatization

Radio dramatization of NightfallRadio dramatization of Nightfall

Isaac Asimov's classic short story

This is the dramatization of Asimov's orginal 1941 short story, broadcasted in 1950 (very good quality). It is about  a world called Kalgash that doesn't know what a night is due to it's six suns. But darkness is coming and fear is the companion that may prevent the planet's civilization from seeing the stars for the first time.
The story was turned into a novel by Robert Silverberg in 1990 with Asimov's blessings and assistance but no dramatization has been made of it, as far as I know.

My Silver Planet: A Secret History of Poetry and Kitsch

Taking its title from John Keats, My Silver Planet contends that the problem of elite poetry's relation to popular culture bears the indelible mark of its turbulent incorporation of vernacular poetry-a legacy shaped by nostalgia, contempt, and fraudulence. Daniel Tiffany reactivates and fundamentally redefines the concept of kitsch, freeing it from modernist misapprehension and ridicule, by tracing its origin to poetry's alienation from the emergent category of literature.

Lonely Planet Singapore (City Travel Guide)

Smart, sharp and just a little sexy, Singapore is Southeast Asia’s new ‘It kid’, subverting staid old stereotypes with ambitious architecture, dynamic museums, celebrity chefs and hip boutiques. Spike it all with smoky temples, gut-rumbleinducing food markets and pockets of steamy jungle, and you too might find that Asia’s ‘wallflower’ is a much more intriguing bloom than you ever gave it credit for.

Lonely Planet's new-look Pocket guides give you all the top sights and local's view of the city too – you get the best of both worlds!
