Books podcasts were talking about in June 2017
June 2017 brought a diverse array of literary discussions across multiple shows, focusing on education, economics, diet, and parenting. On Conversations with Tyler, Tyler Cowen recommended Ben Sasse's The Vanishing American Adult during a live episode and brought up Jean-Jacques Rousseau's historic educational treatise Emile. The Joe Rogan Experience featured multiple book mentions, including Josh Barnett referencing Karl Marx's Das Capital Volume One, Judd Apatow discussing the parenting guide Yes, Your Teen is Crazy! by Michael J. Bradley, and another speaker recommending Steven R. Gundry's The Plant Paradox while debating diets and psoriasis. Financial and minimalist themes also appeared, as the host of ChooseFI brought up Jacob Lund Fisker's Early Retirement Extreme to illustrate minimalist living practices. On The Rubin Report, Rabbi David Wolpe referenced Mark Twain's Letters from Earth to critique conventional ideas of heaven, while Peter Boghossian discussed his academic hoax paper involving James Lindsay. These varied titles reflected a broad intellectual curiosity among hosts and guests, touching on classical philosophy, modern health trends, political theory, and lifestyle choices.
