In episode #2152 guest Terrence Howard mentions the book by name and links it to another work, Sand and Foam, while explicitly citing a year in his comment. In episode #1481 guest Adam Eget describes a real-world use of the book’s chapter structure, saying staff at a school were named after different chapters and that workshops were organized around each chapter.
