The Biz Book Broadcast

Publishers spend all day up to their eyeballs in books. Which begs the question - what do they read when nobody's paying them to?

Publisher Emily Hitchcock is back - for what may be a new series - finding out what the professionals read for pleasure.

We compare notes on bookseller picks, judging books by their covers - we both do it, is it a bad habit? + which section of the bookshop you'll find Emily in. Plus - shockingly - she confesses a book habit I consider a crime. Outrageous!

Look out for more from this brand new Reading strand.

Books discussed in this episode:

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - Edward Albee

Cocktails with George and Martha - Philip Gefter

You've written a book. AI is going to change how people find it - and yes, it's going to read it too + probably tell people what's in it. Let's discuss the good and the bad.

Marketing strategist Forest Linden is back for part three of our AI mini series.

Forest explains where AI actually looks when it decides who to recommend - it's not your website - and how to get your name attached to your idea so when AI borrows your thinking, you still get the credit.

We also talk honestly about books being scraped. Every published book gets absorbed. It's happening to everyone + pretending otherwise helps nobody.

You're explaining your work to someone important. You're being clear - you're being interesting. Obv. Yet they've quite visibly glazed over. What went wrong?

Communications expert Chris Fenning is back to set us straight.

Turns out the problem isn't necessarily your explanation - it's where you're starting from - and it's the reason why so many tedious business letters go straight in the recycling. Naturally, he also gives us the fix.

Plus, the question I'm training myself to ask instead of ‘does that make sense?’ - you'll likely find it useful too.

Are you the sort of person who likes to take things apart to see how they work? Maybe before you've quite got a plan on how to put it back together?

If so - CFO Karen Gordon + I have some goose based thoughts that might help. We're giving Aesop's golden goose the financial review it's waited two and a half thousand years for. It doesn't go well for the farmer. Or the goose. Obv.

We consider what a halfway sensible goose owner would do + what a sudden pile of money does to a previously sensible budget. Also - goose security could be a bigger problem than you'd first think.

This is a Classics episode, where we take a very old story and wring sensible-ish business lessons out of it.
