Books podcasts were talking about in February 2020
During February 2020, various podcasts explored a range of literary works and texts. On The Joe Rogan Experience, Aubrey de Grey discussed David Sinclair's book 'Why We Age and Why We Don't Have to', noting that Joe Rogan kept a copy on his shelf. In another episode, Owen Smith shared that his favorite book by Dick Gregory was 'The Shadow that Scares Me', which provided solutions to contemporary problems. Colin O'Brady also appeared on the show to present his own book, 'The Impossible First', detailing his solo Antarctica journey. Meanwhile, an episode of My First Million featuring Stu Iverson touched upon several prominent titles. The guest compared the traditional physical appearance of the Bible unfavorably to modern, visually appealing coffee table publications like Sean Dietrich's 'Kinfolk', while also noting the Bible alongside 'The Gita: For Children' by Roopa Pai and 'The Koran' as top-selling historical texts. Additionally, the conversation mentioned a Netflix film adaptation based on the biblical book of Mark.
