A sacred herb. A stoner joke. A billion-dollar industry. A criminal offense. Cannabis has worn a thousand masks — medicine, menace, miracle, meme — depending on the era, the culture, and who was holding the power. In High Society, JJ delivers a sharp, surprising, and deeply human history of the plant that refuses to stay in one box. From ancient rituals in India and burial rites in Scythian tombs to jazz clubs, sweat lodges, courtrooms, and dispensary chains, this book follows weed's journey through the world's empires, religions, revolutions, and contradictions.

Charles Darwin didn’t set out to destroy the old story of life. He just couldn’t look away from the cracks in it. From the deck of the Beagle to the hills of the Galápagos, Darwin saw what others missed — tiny details, local variations, uncomfortable truths. His theory of natural selection reshaped biology, shattered theology, and sparked one of the most dangerous ideas in human history: we are not separate from nature… we are subject to it. This is the story of a quiet man who changed the world — not with force, but with focus.

He wasn’t just the man who discovered gravity. He was the man who tried to measure God. Isaac Newton is often remembered as the cold genius who sat under an apple tree and changed the world with a single thought. But the truth is far stranger — and far more human. Heaven’s Codebreaker peels back the myth to reveal the obsessive, secretive, visionary mind behind modern science.

For centuries, college was a temple — a place of ideas, inquiry, and dusty robes. But somewhere between the monastery and the marketing department, something changed. In Campus, Inc., JJ takes listeners on a sly, engaging journey through the history of higher education. From theology lectures in medieval Europe to stadium-sized campuses with climbing walls and billion-dollar football programs, this is the story of how college became a business — and how success got sold, one loan at a time. This isn’t a takedown. It’s a timeline.

From an early age, Melanie M Johnson recognized she was different. She understood life for her would not be the same as others, however she had no idea what this difference would entail.

Facing reality brought her to her breaking point, where she thought it would be better to not even exist.

Before we knew anything else, we had to decide what mattered. This is the story of that decision. History 101 is a time-bending, mind-bending deep dive into the very idea of history itself — how it started, who told it, what got erased, and why it still shapes everything we believe about ourselves. From firelight myths to Mesopotamian propaganda, medieval scribes to Enlightenment idealists, textbook wars to TikTok historians, this book tracks the strange evolution of how humans record the past — and how those records reflect the present more than we like to admit.

Elise, an artist grieving the loss of her son and a fracturing marriage, is in North Norfolk to restore Marsh House to its former glory, its walls adorned with the fading murals and paintings of its long-ago owner, Lilias Carter-Brown.

In 1939, with war threatening, Lilias and her sister turn Marsh House into a sanctuary for London evacuees—a young boy and his mother.

What does it really feel like to live in the world’s most powerful police state? Not from the outside. Not from the headlines. From the inside. This book isn’t a political exposé. It doesn’t rant. It doesn’t accuse. Instead, it walks — through the apartments, schools, subways, offices, phones, and daily routines of modern China. Life Inside China is calm, neutral, and observational — but quietly devastating. It shows, without saying, how surveillance becomes normal… How silence becomes safety… And how freedom fades not with violence, but with optimization.
