Every book Carl Cannon recommended on podcasts
Carl Cannon appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show to discuss current political developments, media controversies, and Republican strategies. During the discussions, he referenced several books to provide humorous commentary and contextualize political anecdotes. He brought up the humor classic Is Sex Necessary? by James Thurber and E.B. White, using it to make a lighthearted comparison regarding relationship quirks and a man who had a perfect woman. Cannon also discussed Kristi Noem's book Not My First Rodeo, alongside a reference to The Cookie Baking Gnome Notebook, addressing the controversy surrounding a story involving Noem shooting her dog. Cannon noted that while editors initially removed the anecdote from the earlier edition of her book, it was later included, sparking widespread public discussion and media attention. By invoking these literary works, Cannon added historical and pop-culture framing to his political analysis and commentary on high-profile political figures during his podcast appearances.
