What this is
The Founders podcast covers one biography or memoir at a time. This site lists every book the show mentions, with the episodes that cover it, so you can find the next one to read.
Where the data comes from
Only two sources: the show’s public RSS feed and its official episode pages. We read them politely, with a rate limit, and follow the site’s robots.txt. We store facts only: episode numbers, titles, dates, book titles and authors. Every book page links to the official episode that mentions it. The short notes on each page are written by us.
How confident we are
The main book of each episode comes straight from the opening line of the episode notes, or from our hand-checked fixes. Books that are only mentioned in passing are listed only if Open Library confirms the title and author. 131 possible books didn’t pass that check and are left out for now. 2 published books carry an "unverified author" note.
Covers
Covers via Open Library, matched only when the title and author agree. 314 of 385 books have one. The rest get a typographic cover we design ourselves.
