Intro: Beyond the Book

In this episode of the Beyond the Book podcast, the hosts, Preston and Jett, discuss the deeper ideas in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. They focus on the literary parallel between Nick's perception of Gatsby and society's perception of a speakeasy, both of which are characterized by secrecy. This is the first episode of a six-part series. Get ready to go "Beyond the Book!" What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Beyond the Book podcast. We are your hosts, Preston Heide and Jett Honig. You listeners know the deal. Jett and I will interpret and dig deeper into the ideas that the average reader may overlook in books that you guys have requested. Today we begin with the first episode of a six-part series where we will interpret deeper ideas that were not quite looked at in none other than The Great Gatsby. Ah, what a classic. Nothing screams high school English more than F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. To kick off this exploration of Gatsby, we are going to be diving into the literary parallel between Nick's perception of Gatsby and society's perception of a speakeasy, and how both are shrouded in secrecy. Mm, very interesting. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are strapped in and ready, because we are about to go Beyond the Book. Beyond the Book. That was money.
