Books podcasts were talking about in March 2013
In March 2013, prominent podcast episodes featured guests and hosts discussing and recommending various titles focused on history, pharmacology, fiction, and secret government experiments. On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Hamilton Morris recommended Andy Letcher's 'Shroom' during a conversation about mushroom history, and subsequently brought up Martin A. Lee's 'Acid Dreams' while discussing MK-Ultra experiments, noting that Joe Rogan had encountered multiple recommendations for it that week. Later in the month, Bryan Callen appeared on the same podcast to recommend two distinct historical novels by Leon Uris, suggesting 'Trinity' for learning about Irish history and 'The Haj' to better understand the Middle East and the Arab world. In another segment, Scott Sigler joined Joe Rogan to talk about several of his own speculative fiction works available on Audible, specifically mentioning 'Nocturnal', 'Infected', and 'Contagious'. Rounding out the literary discussions on the program, Joe Rogan and Scott Sigler also touched upon Joe Hill's horror novel 'Heart-Shaped Box', which Sigler had previously read and discussed with the host.
