Steven Rinella's books have been discussed on various episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience and the Monday Morning Podcast. On The Joe Rogan Experience in 2024, Joe Rogan encouraged listeners to check out the audio version of Rinella's book American Buffalo. Bill Burr mentioned watching American Buffalo during a 2022 episode of the Monday Morning Podcast while discussing recent shows he experienced in New York. Rinella himself appeared on multiple episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience to discuss his writing process and previous publications. In 2020, he mentioned writing a wild game cookbook, and Joe Rogan called his book on the American buffalo a fantastic work. During a 2018 appearance, Rinella discussed American Buffalo and revealed that he had to cut one hundred pages from the manuscript during the editing process. On another 2018 episode, he spoke about his multi-volume guide book, The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game, noting its original length of seven hundred pages. In a 2019 appearance, Rinella referred to this same cookbook and explained the organizational principle behind it, noting that he deliberately steered away from organizing recipes by animal type, such as elk or deer, and instead took a cut-based approach.
