Katie points out how the parallels of Zelda Fitzgerald's similar battles to Taylor's as a female writer, and their shared ghostwriting experiences. Sticking with the American Lit theme of Taylor's F. Scott Fitzgerald quote, the archers revisit the incredible sapphic poet that inspires Taylor's quill pen, Emily Dickinson. They compare Taylor's writing in the folklore prologue to two poems about secrets by Dickinson and find that they sing about the same skies full of secrets. Finally, they go through *all* of Taylor's lyrics about hiding, sneaking around, secrets, whispering, covering things up, and lying... Which go back to the beginning of her career.

Felicity is having confusing dreams about the men in her life and realizes that she has feelings for Noel. Noel and Felicity pair up on a final art project to draw each other's portraits which gives Felicity an opening to declare her feelings for Noel.  Noel declines, but then immediately begins to reevaluate and withdraw from Ruby, who approaches Felicity to plead for mercy. What a triangle these three are! Meanwhile, Sean has some interest from a potential investor for Smoothaise!  Yay!  And then he doesn't anymore.  Boo! Julie invites record label scouts to her open mic night, and – much to Sean's chagrin – Eric Kidd from A&R Pop Rocks shows up enthusiastic to get a demo deal going for her. Fish gets equally enthusiastic over the actor playing Eric Kidd, Adam Rodriguez. Mostly importantly, Ben panics over his American Lit final paper about The Invisible Man.

It's been said that this is Close Reads Christmas. The last two days we have been revealing (on the Close Reads Facebook group and on the Goldberry Studios Instagram page) the books we will be discussing on the show in 2023. And now that the whole list has been unveiled it's time to share them all in one place. So jump in your car, grab your running shoes, start the laundry . . . prep for whatever you do when you're listening . . . and click play, because on this episode you can listen in as we decide what to listen to, winnowing the list from 35 finalists to 12 winners. Or just scroll down and check out the list. Either way, we're excited about this list and can't wait to dig into the books with you. Want to buy the books through Goldberry? Here's the list all in one place. Note: If you want to discover the list by listening don't read below this point. The ListPlease note this list is not the order in which the books will be discussed, which is still being determined. The Scarlet Letter / Nathaniel HawthorneThis first book won't surprise you, if you've been paying attention. It's a bonafide classic of American Lit. A book ruined by many a bad high school English class. It's one of those books that is outshined by its reputation far too often. We will be using Karen Swallow Prior's lovely edition--and, yes, she will be joining us!Persuasion / Jane AustenThis book is a classic, beloved for nearly two hundred years for its wit and wisdom. It's hilarious. It's poignent. And it features one of the great female characters in English literature.The Picture of Dorian Gray / Oscar WildeThis book has been requested many times over the years. It's a complex and mildly controversial example of a gothic novel. It's got it's detractors; it's got its super fans. It's super literary; it's pretty campy. It's a great novel for debate.Pygmalion / George Bernard ShawYou might primarily know our next book as the inspiration for a movie starring Audrey Hepburn, but it's great in its own right. It's our annual dive into a play. It's inspired by Greek mythology. It's absurdly readable.The Optimist's Daughter / Eudora WeltyOriginal Close Reader, Mary Jo Tate, has been singing the praises of our next author for years, and you know what, it is time. It's time to do a book by one of the great Southern writers, by one of the great female writers, by the one of the great American writers period. It is time to do a Eudora Welty novel.One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich / Alexander Solzhenitsyn Our next book is Tim' personal choice--and it's a worthy one. A book that is important for more than its literary merit, it also played a key role in revealing (and even changing) history. It isn't always easy to read, but it's a necessary inclusion in any list of the most essential books of the twentieth century.The Diary of a Country Priest / Georges Bernanos One of our favorite recurring genres here at Close Reads is what I will just call the Great Religious Novels of the twentieth century. Think, say, The Power and the Glory. The 2023 example of that is perhaps best known for being the inspiration for one of the great religious movies ever made (same name). It is French. It is pretty Catholic. It's lyrical.Things Fall Apart / Chinua Achebe This book may be relatively slight in terms of page count. It's one of the shorter novels we've done on Close Reads (although not the shortest we will read next year!). But it packs a literary punch in the form of a profound and influential historical novel.The Moving Toyshop / Edmund CrispinEvery year we try to read a mystery of some kind, typically during the dreary winter months. Well this year's mystery is a bit of a cult classic, a hilarious and fun murder mystery with a clever puzzle, delightful characters, and dazzling proze. It is one part Wodehouse, one part Dorothy Sayers.Everything Sad is Untrue / Daniel NayeriEvery year we give each of our contributors the opportunity to choose a book. We also like to do a children's novel every now and then. Well our next book for 2023 is Heidi White's choice, a delightful young adult novel that has been getting more buzz in this group than a post criticizing Keira Knightly.The Netanyahus / Joshua CohenDavid's choice, this 2021 novel is a strange, hilarious, melancholy, brilliant, bizarre, philosophical novel that some of you may find confounding but, hey, it DID just win the Pulitzer prize. It's about history. It's about Jewish culture. It's about America. It's a contemporary novel that offers a lot to think about.A Canticle for Liebowitz / William M. Miller Jr. Next year, our friend Sean Johnson, who has been on the East of Eden episodes, will be helping us out here and there, so we felt it was only right to let them him choose a book, too. Luckily, he chose a fascinating book that has been nominated a number of times over the last few years. It's a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel about monks in the American Southwest who are working to rebuild culture. It's an award-winning classic of the genre, that some critics claim is as good as Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh.Click here to claim your copies of these titles today through Goldberry Books.

The Dark Funnel with Tom Augenthaler Tom Augenthaler and Joe Lynch discuss the dark funnel. As the founder of an influencer marketing company, Tom helps companies tell stories that make the customer the hero.

Key Takeaways: The Dark Funnel Tom Augenthaler is the Founder and CEO of 551 Media, where he helps B2B companies build brand affinity with influencers. In the podcast interview, Tom explains that the dark funnel is a customer's purchasing journey that occurs off-site through social, paid, competitive, influencer and other channels not controlled or visible to the brand. In recent years, marketers have come to rely on sales funnels that culminate in a marketing generated lead, but increasingly savvy customers are avoiding the tactics and methods (webinars, white papers, cold calls, etc..) that put them in the sales funnel. Instead customers are educating themselves about their buying options via articles, blog posts, social media, videos, influencers, etc.. outside the view of the sales and marketing team. Prospects from the dark funnel often contact companies with a good understanding of the company's service offering and very close to making their buying decision. Marketing tools that enable marketers to engage, track, and contact prospects are great, however, some brands have been over-zealous and savvy customers are keeping themselves off the radar and in the dark funnel. Recent research by Sirius Decisions and Forrester suggests that 67% to 90% of the customer's purchasing journey is in the dark funnel - consuming off-site content. Tom and his team help companies navigate the dark funnel. They empower businesses to inspire, educate, and persuade through influencers.

How does the current state of America compare to that of the 1960's? Has progress been made? Are cities doomed to fail? What great adventure is on your bucket list? Christine and Kyle attempt to answer these questions and more as they dive into John Steinbeck's book Travels with Charley: In Search of America.  ROAD TRIP!In 1960 John Steinbeck embraced van life hitting the open road in a camper-truck accompanied by his poodle Charley. Travels with Charley is a travelogue of that journey with Steinbeck musing on the country he built a career writing about. It was an election year; political and racial unrest was sweeping the nation and Steinbeck made remarkably prescient observations about America that took shape in recent history. The book was published in 1962, the same year Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for literature and made it to the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.For more Roamers related content follow @blackgoldcabin on Instagram Music provided by Ross Bugden, Without Limits  and Chris Haugen, Tumbleweed Texas

He consults digitally and in-person to help B2B businesses build a marketing strategy that is right for them. Key Takeaways: The Customer is the Hero When a company or salesperson talks too much about themselves or their company, they are not treating the customer as the hero. In business, the most compelling story is a customer (or sometimes an influencer) talking about their positive experience with a product or service. Successful marketers are using the success stories of their customers to attract and win new customers. The heroic customer journey can be viewed as a transformation from their previous state (stuck, unsuccessful, unhappy) to their new desired state. In the journey, the customer is positioned as the hero and the brand is the guide helping the customer overcome their challenges and accomplishing their goals. Sales and marketing people need to better understand the problems and challenges faced by their prospective customers. Customers and prospects are busy, and they do not always share their reasons for buying. As marketers, we must dig deeper, beyond the superficial to get a true understanding of the customer's challenges and motivations for buying. In the podcast interview, Tom said the company, Coupa does a great job positioning its customers as heroes. On their website and at their conferences they let their successful customers share their stories of successful transformation.
