I\u2019ve been hosting my podcast at the Athletic<\/a> (iTunes<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>) for over three and a half years now, and I\u2019ve had the privilege of interviewing a number of authors whose work I\u2019ve enjoyed. Of course, I boost their books on the show and on the site formerly known as Twitter, but I wanted to create a more lasting spot where you can find all of the books I\u2019ve discussed on the podcast, allowing me to thank the authors once more for their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve listed the book(s) I discussed with the authors on their episodes; it\u2019s not an exhaustive bibliography and in some cases it\u2019s not even my favorite book by that particular author. If a book is on this list, however, I have read it, and I recommend it. I\u2019ve loosely organized them into categories, although some of them defied easy categorization. I\u2019ll try to update this somewhat regularly as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
