About

The Reading Octagon collects the books mentioned on The Joe Rogan Experience and gives each book its own page: every episode it came up in, who brought it up, roughly when, and a link to the source.

Not affiliated

The Reading Octagon is an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Joe Rogan, The Joe Rogan Experience, or its producers or distributors. The podcast name is used only to describe where each book was mentioned.

How the scoring works

• Real mentions only. A book is listed only if a public source backs it up, usually the official episode description in the podcast's RSS feed or a public transcript. Each mention links to its source.
• Mentioned by is the host, the guest, or "Official episode description" when the book is only listed in the show notes.
• Timestamps are approximate and come from transcript segment times for the audio release, which includes ads, so they can be a few minutes off the video.
• Rankings sort by number of episodes, then total mentions, then how recently the book came up.
• Weight classes go by page count (flyweight under 200 pages up to heavyweight at 550+). Page counts come from publisher pages or Open Library and differ between editions.
• Covers come from the Open Library Covers API. Books without a cover get a typographic placeholder.

This is an early prototype. Corrections and missing mentions will be accepted once a contact channel is set up.
