Books by E. B. White mentioned on podcasts
E. B. White and his enduring children's novel 'Charlotte's Web' have been mentioned on several podcast episodes in various contexts. On an episode of Pod Save America in April 2024, the hosts referenced the book during a conversation about farm life. Actor Don Cheadle reminisced on the SmartLess podcast in April 2024 about playing Templeton the rat in a fifth or sixth-grade production of the story. Angela Duckworth referenced White and a notable line from 'Charlotte's Web' on an episode of No Stupid Questions in October 2023. In an earlier January 2023 episode of No Stupid Questions, Stephen discussed reading 'Charlotte's Web' as a child, highlighting the emotional relationship between Wilbur and Fern and the central conflict regarding the pig's fate, while reflecting on the ethics of eating meat. On This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, hosts and guests invoked the book to describe being the runt of the litter in August 2022, and Theo Von humorously associated a spider with the story in July 2021.
