Les Misérables by Victor Hugo is a monumental nineteenth-century French novel that chronicles the struggles and redemption of ex-convict Jean Valjean against the backdrop of political and social upheaval. The classic work featured across several podcasts in diverse contexts. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly reference-dropped the novel critically to mock a characterization in the Washington Post regarding a foreign leader. On The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Jordan Peterson highlighted a book by the author that explores the rare emergence of artistic genius in every generation. The Book Review dedicated discussions to the masterpiece, with host Pamela Paul introducing David Bellos to talk about his companion book on Hugo's work, while guest Parul Sehgal noted that she was slowly making her way through the novel as bedtime reading. Additionally, Rob Kurzban referenced the text on Modern Wisdom to discuss historical immunity from social consequences, while Josh Clark and Ben Bowlin discussed the book's enduring legacy, emotional musical adaptations, and vivid characters like Gavroche on Stuff You Should Know and Stuff They Don't Want You To Know.
