November 2023 – The Month Ahead – The Business of The 3:57 by William E. Spear

A regular accounting of The 3:57 published on the first Monday of each month.

Monday 6 November

Hello, All,

Welcome to The Month Ahead for November 2023. It is my hope this finds you well for the rest of the year and beyond. This edition recaps October, maps out November and December, and looks at 2024.

In October, five more episodes of IT SUITS HER were released. Maxie and Celia are in a different place than when their story started and by all accounts there are more changes to come.

Four more episodes will be released in November and the series will conclude with a big showdown in December.

Staying in November, The 3:57 and MADISON ON THE AIR will swap promos in our respective shows. The 3:57 is absolutely pleased to have Madison bring her energy to our program for the entire month.

The program also had two episodes released in Octobber: 1) THE RAVEN – Published in 1845, Edgar Allan Poe’s feathered fiend came tapping and so gently rapping into the podcast and 2) CASEY AT THE BAT – Ernest Lawrence Thayer’s ode to losing sports teams has consoled fans since 1888.

A third stand alone reading, John Donne’s THE APPARITION first published in 1633, was included in Micro’s LATE GREAT HALLOWEEN EDITION.

Looking forward, plans for the first half of 2024 are being finalized. January will be a Season Break with no scheduled episodes. However, after that, the new year starts as follows:
January – Season break with no scheduled podcasts
February – The Messenger in LOVE, 20 MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE
March – Four more episodes of SEVENTEEN
April – ROAD RAGE an interpretation of Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow
May to June – The first eight episodes of LATE IN THE GAME

That’s it for now. I look forward to more conversation next month. And remember, stories are everywhere.

Respectfully,

William E. Spear, Jr.
