Podcast #15: Great (Reading) Expectations
We're excited to bring you another episode of the Clear Eyes, Full Shelves podcast! We have such a good time recording the show and love that the podcast lets us dig into issues with more nuance than the blog format allows.
In episode #15, Laura and I dig into the subject of reader expectations, the role of marketing in informing those expectations and the way consumers of creative works become intensely invested in those works. Please note, this episode was recorded prior to my writing this blog post; if it had been, we likely would have elaborated more regarding the notion of how we read, and if readers "owe" authors anything in that respect.
As always, you can listen to the podcast by streaming on this page, downloading the MP3 below or by subscribing in iTunes. If you're an iTuner, we very much appreciate your rating and reviewing the podcast, as it helps us to show up in iTunes searches. We're also now on Stitcher Radio, so if you prefer that app, you can subscribe here.
Books, Etc. Mentioned in the Episode
We also discussed the following:
- The CEFS True Blood "Snark Caps"
- Sara Zarr's Podcast Episode with Sarah Dessen
- The Maggie Stiefvater YouTube video about the end of her Shiver/Linger/Forever series:
A correction: Near the end of this episode, I mention Sarah Dessen's Lock & Key, but I should have referenced Along for the Ride instead. Oops.
