Books by L. Ron Hubbard mentioned on podcasts
L. Ron Hubbard's book Dianetics and its connection to Scientology have been referenced on several programs. On Timcast IRL, Tim mentioned giving Dianetics to someone as a joke and later described how Scientologists approach people by asking them to take a test and buy the book before guiding them toward Scientology. Alex Stein also joked on Timcast IRL about joining the Church of Scientology and entering a Dianetics program to go clear. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan recalled that Hubbard initially wrote for pulp science fiction magazines before writing Dianetics, noting that he had ordered the book after seeing a late-night television commercial in 1994 but never read it. Roy Wood Jr. discussed Dianetics on the same show as a concept Hubbard wrote about regarding the mind and anxiety. Other guests on The Joe Rogan Experience compared the physical appearance of A Course in Miracles to Dianetics, and Eddie Bravo shared his initial perception of Dianetics before realizing its association with Scientology.
