Books podcasts were talking about in April 2017
During April 2017, several prominent literary works and non-fiction titles drew attention across podcast discussions, particularly on The Joe Rogan Experience and The Rubin Report. Dan Doty appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to recommend Matthew D. Lieberman's Social, highlighting its insights into the neurobiology of human connection and brain functions. Dennis McKenna also featured on the same program, referencing Stephen Harrod Buhner's Plant Intelligence And The Imaginal Realm to explore alternative perspectives on perceiving nature, alongside discussing the historical 1967 symposium volume Ethnopharmacologic Search for Psychoactive Drugs as a major early inspiration for his work. Additionally, Joe Rogan discussed A. B. Guthrie's The Big Sky in relation to outdoor survival cooking techniques mentioned by guest Steve Rinella, and touched upon James Oroc's Tryptamine Palace when exploring the effects of 5-MeO-DMT. Meanwhile, on The Rubin Report, Mark Duplass recommended Larissa MacFarquhar's Strangers Drowning, emphasizing its exploration of the infectious and sometimes consuming nature of extreme giving. Other titles mentioned across the month included Ron Miscavige discussing L. Ron Hubbard's Mission Earth and Joe Rogan briefly referencing Elizabeth Gilbert's The Last American Man.
