More on what podcasts read
How we count
We count books, not mentions. A show has discussed a book when at least one of its episodes did, leaving out ad reads, self promotion and passing name drops. Only books with a full page on this site count, so the comparison rests on books that several shows have taken seriously. Overlap is the number of books two shows share divided by the number of books either one has discussed, so a big show does not look similar to everyone just by being big. A pair is listed when the shows share at least 10 books and at least 5% of their combined list. Every number on this page updates when new episodes come in. Full definitions.
