Why people keep bringing this up

Mentions of The Rest Is History on the podcast of the same name are rooted in its relevance to the show’s subject matter: hosts reference the book when discussing historical figures and episodes, as in the 542nd episode (“Elizabeth I’s Sorcerer: Angels and Demons in Renaissance Europe”) where Dr John Dee is noted as a character in the book and the hosts tie that reference to their discussion of historical figures and events. The book is therefore a recurring touchpoint when episode content overlaps with its subjects.

The podcast also treats the book as a tangible item for listeners, using it in audience engagement and promotions. In episode 7 (“The Lessons of History”) the hosts mention that bonus-episode participation can earn a free copy of The Rest Is History, which explains repeated mentions in the context of giveaways and listener incentives as well as editorial reference.
