If Books Could Kill

Recommended Ages

Aimed primarily at adults, though selected episodes may suit mature older teens studying media and cultural criticism.

If Books Could Kill is a podcast that critically examines influential nonfiction bestsellers and how they’ve shaped public conversations and ideas. Hosted by Michael Hobbes and Peter Shamshiri, it offers skeptical, often humorous deep dives into books that are frequently cited in politics, self-help, and pop economics. The show is aimed at adults, but selective episodes can support media literacy discussions with older teens about sources, bias, and evidence. As a free resource, it’s valuable for parents and educators who want to sharpen their own critical reading skills before passing titles on to students.

Episodes are free to stream on major podcast platforms; optional supporter memberships or bonus-content subscriptions are handled through podcast apps or Patreon and vary in price.
