Books by Paul R. Ehrlich mentioned on podcasts
Paul R. Ehrlich's work appears across multiple podcast discussions concerning historical and environmental thought. On the Huberman Lab, the book Jaws, written with Sandra Kahn, came up during a conversation about airway health, nasal breathing, and skeletal changes, with the host noting it was initially dismissed as pseudoscience, while Dr. Staci Whitman recommended it as a resource for parents. The Population Bomb was referenced on several shows; Neil Oliver mentioned it on The Tucker Carlson Show alongside Garrett Hardin's work when discussing historical viewpoints on population control, the host of Freakonomics Radio cited it to highlight 1960s environmental concerns regarding overpopulation and agricultural production, and the hosts of Stuff You Should Know referenced it during a discussion on zero population growth. Additionally, Ehrlich co-authored The Cold and the Dark, which was discussed by Josh Szeps and Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience, and mentioned by Annie Jacobsen on the Lex Fridman Podcast in relation to nuclear winter essays.

The Population Bomb by Paul R.
Discussed“Like the population bomb, my understanding was that it argued that we're going to be badly overpopulated by the time we reach now and that that was dangerous. Some people would argue that birth rates are going down.”

Jaws
Jaws: A Hidden Epidemic by Sandra Kahn and Paul R.
Recommended“Long been a fan of his work and him, and I agree. And Jaws is a wonderful book, and I think The Population Bomb still has great, there's real value in reading it, even if the specific statements, as you point out, held up differently, it's still a really important work.”
