So I thought that today we would focus on the world of puzzles.  As kids, young and old, we are fascinated and curious about putting together random pieces of cardboard to make a picture, or take numbers or scenes or words and fit them together to make something whole, craving that satisfaction to find the answer and all the frustrations and exhilarations that come with it! Whether you're doing sudoku or playing a game or proving online that we're human and not a robot, puzzles keep our minds focused on solving problems.  For many across the world, crossword puzzles are part of a daily routine, trying to find different ways to use and frame words from clues that playfully speak to everyday culture, trivia, knowledge, and even local or global nuances.  So it was really fun to catch up with crossword puzzle constructor, Mangesh Ghogre, first India-based crossword constructor for the Los Angeles Times in 2010 and The New York Times in 2013.  Mangesh is an investment banker and a writer, and has had a true passion as a crossword puzzle solver and constructor since his college days.  His expertise has developed over decades and his work and writing have been featured in The New Yorker, The Times of India, and The Economic Times, among others. Mangesh is currently the editor and constructor for the Mini Crossword in The Forbes India magazine. Some of his marquee NYT crosswords include a Fourth of July-themed crossword in 2017, a Mahatma Gandhi-themed crossword in 2019 to celebrate Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary and Taj Mahal-themed crossword in 2023 to celebrate Indian independence day.  I was able to chat with him this summer, and in true puzzle solving fashion, we started out with the basics…

Our final episode of our 2312 season is here! First, we talk about the topic on everyone's mind, the New York Times Crossword puzzle and how bad it is. We wrap that up around 6.5 minutes in. Then, we reveal the topic of our next season, and it's....drumroll....GREEN EARTH! I know this delights many of you and disappoints an equal amount, and then the final third just can't wait for our mellifluous voices to lull them back to sleep. But whatever your reaction, we're going to dive into this 1000-page behemoth starting around February 2022. We'll probably, hopefully, have a movie episode in the meantime tide over the "true heads." We talk then about resolutions that don't resolve things, closures that leave a lot open, comedy and the marriage plot, and the mode of the novel. Is this a novel? Is it an anti-novel? We talk a lot about punishment, prison, exile, and the police. Genette reveals another side of Genette-self---and we find some prounouns attributed to "him"! ***ATTENTION STAN, ATTENTION STAN, THERE ARE STILL PRONOUNS ATTACHED TO GENETTE!!!*** We conclude that, in the end, Genette is not the noir detective, in that the inspector does not see Genette as implicated in the rot at the core of the system. Genette is not crushed by the resolution, Genette does not fail in victory. Rather, the Inspector is confident in the Inspector's [holy shit it's hard to write without pronouns!] correctness, righteous in the outcome of which Genette [*pant, pant, pant*] was crucial in bringing about.

First, Ilona and AppSumo are a client of Omniscient's. Second, Ilona's a friend and someone who shares Alex's divergent and semi-ADD tendencies in conversation (according to Alex himself).Finally, instead talking about content marketing or diving into Ilona's background, he thought it would be cool to do a live consultation. In this episode, Ilona teaches Alex how Omniscient should be doing email marketing.If you're building your email marketing program from scratch or revamping it for more ROI, you'll find this useful. It's also just a fun exploration of ideas that also touches upon email marketing best practices that anyone can use to increase the effectiveness of their program.Look at this as a masterclass on email, as well as a look behind the curtains at what it's like getting consulted from a master email marketer. Ilona Abramova is the VP of Operations at AppSumo, a digital marketplace dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs to start and grow their business. Previously Head of Content, she's obsessed with all things written (her speciality is email - & you can shoot her one at ilona@appsumo.com). When she's not silently correcting people's grammar, she's traveling the world in search of the best matcha, having long existential conversations, or doing the New York Times Crossword.The Long Game is hosted by Alex Birkett and David Ly Khim who co-founded Omniscient Digital to help companies ranging from early-state to scale-ups with growth strategy, SEO, and content marketing. Allie Decker, Head of Content, joins the conversation as well.Connect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedin: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/
