In one episode, Dennis joked that he would be lounging by his pool reading the Harry Bosch series if he weren’t working for Dateline. In another episode, Josh compared a detective’s investigative approach to the mantra of Michael Connelly’s fictional detective. Both references treated the series as a familiar, respected backdrop rather than a specific endorsement.

Episode: "Break My Arm, Sexually" (w/ Max Silvestri)

The books were discussed as the basis for a TV show, and the books themselves were mentioned as being narrated by the actor who plays Bosch in the show, with interesting meta-references to the show and other media.

I very much love the show Bosch and it's based on these novels named Bosch but in the novels originally the character of Bosch is rich because there was a Bosch TV show based on a case of this. So the TV show starts and he's got a Bosch poster in his house and you're kind of like okay so there's a different Bosch TV show in the TV universe.

Okay I get it but another weird thing about the novels and they've sold 100 million copies is the Lincoln lawyer is the half brother of Bosch. It's written by the same author they also made a movie of the Lincoln lawyer with Matthew McConaughey.

And they do overlap in some of the novels I guess I haven't read those but in a recent Bosch book I'm reading the book which is narrated by the actor who plays Bosch on an audiobook. He calls his half brother Mickey Holler the Lincoln lawyer and his half brother answers hey like hey little brother all right, all right, all right and then in the book it says his brother has taken to doing a Matthew McConaughey impression after they made a movie based on him starring Matthew McConaughey.
