Books podcasts were talking about in March 2018
March 2018 podcast episodes frequently highlighted political commentaries, memoirs, and foundational business methodologies. On Pod Save America, the host welcomed Jennifer Palmieri to discuss her new book, Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World. Later in the month, a host on the same show recommended Ronan Farrow's forthcoming book concerning the decline of the State Department. The a16z Podcast drew connections between lean manufacturing methods and Eric Ries's The Lean Startup, discussing how rapid, high-quality production applies to modern company culture and DevOps. On The Rubin Report, host Dave Rubin spoke with Bob Saget, who referenced stories from his memoir, Dirty Daddy, and recalled the title of Bill Maher's stand-up novel, True Story. In another episode of The Rubin Report, David Frum appeared to discuss his new book, Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic. Frum also reflected on his teenage years, recounting how his mother gave him a paperback edition of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago for his birthday and how profoundly the book impacted him. Across these programs, guests and hosts examined contemporary politics, personal reflections, and historical struggles.
