The publisher (Hachette) and multiple retailer and press listings give the book's on-sale and publication date as October 20, 2026, not October 27, so the specific release date in the claim is contradicted. The book was indeed available by the October 27 episode, but the claim's central point is the release date.
Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.

The MeidasTouch Podcast · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Hachette Book Group's title page lists the on-sale date as Oct 20, 2026, with the product expected to ship on or around that date.[1]
Contradicts. Yahoo News reporting from July 2026 says the book will be released October 20, 2026 by Grand Central Publishing, and that it was available for preorder.[2]
Contradicts. Amazon US, Amazon UK and Kobo listings all give the publication or release date as October 20, 2026.[3][4][5][6]
Context. The October 27 podcast and MeidasPlus posts say the book is 'out now' and an Audible bestseller, which shows it was available on that date but does not state a release date of October 27.[7][8]
Context. The post itself never states a release date; the claim's October 27 date is inferred from the post's 'officially out now' wording on the posted day.
