We say that life is priceless. Yet the cost of saving a life, creating a life or compensating for a life taken is routinely calculated and put into practice. In a world in love with data, it is possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. For philanthropists, judges, criminals, healthcare providers and government ministers, it’s just part of the job. In The Price of Life, journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on an adventure to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth.

Story
From the earliest cave paintings to the present day, humans and deer have a long and complex history. Royal harts were the coveted quarry of European kings, while the first Americans relied on deer for everything from buckskins to arrow heads. Once hunted to the point of extinction in some parts of the world, deer numbers have exploded in recent years, causing tension between scientists and conservationists. And yet, this is our own story, as the fortune of deer is inextricably bound up with the actions that we humans take on the world around us.

Story
Dieses Hörbuch stellt einen übersichtlichen chronologischen Querschnitt der uns heute bekannten Entstehung und Entwicklung der menschlichen Kultur dar. Vom 5ten Jahrtausend vor Christus bis zum Jahre 2024 bewegen wir uns innerhalb eines Zeitfensters von etwa 7000 Jahren. Was manchen wie ein unglaublich langer Zeitraum erscheinen mag, ist für uns durch dieses Hörbuch ein gemütliches Dahingleiten durch die relative Ewigkeit des menschlichen Geistes. Da Künste, Religionen, Gesellschaftsformen etc. Produkte der menschlichen Kultur sind, erfahren wir gewissermaßen "fast Alles über fast Alles" ohne fast Nichts zu vergessen.

Story
Bronislaw Malinowski's seminal work, Sex and Repression in Savage Society, delves into the intricate dynamics of sexuality and societal control within primitive cultures. Published in 1927, this ethnographic study challenges prevailing Victorian notions of sexuality and sheds light on the nuanced ways in which indigenous societies navigate and regulate sexual behaviors. Malinowski's immersive fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands enables him to provide a rich anthropological account, exploring the role of rituals, customs, and taboos in shaping sexual practices.

Story
Esistono luoghi in cui non sembra vivere nessuno. Strade solitarie su cui muovono i passi sparuti camminatori, case centenarie in cui i silenzi sono rotti solo dal ronzio di qualche televisione lontana, antichi muretti a secco su cui camminano gatti randagi e lucertole più di quanto vi si appoggino mani e schiene umane, vecchie stufe a gas a riscaldare ampie stanze semivuote.

Story
UM UNS HERUM TOBT DER WAHNSiNN. ›Unter Wahnsinnigen‹ ist eine Zustandsbeschreibung unserer Zeit. Wie gerne würden wir leicht in Freund und Feind trennen, liken oder bashen. Aber so einfach ist der Mensch nicht. Schroeder folgt seinem Drang und seiner Neugier, das Böse zu verstehen. Auf dem Pfad des Bösen trifft er einen Holocaust-Leugner im Gefängnis, begegnet einem Sexualstraftäter auf seinem Weg nach draußen, erlebt einen Mann, der ein Doppelleben geführt hat, ist mit der Letzten Generation unterwegs und besucht NATO-Soldaten in Litauen, die sich auf den Krieg vorbereiten.
