Richard P. Feynman and his written works have been discussed across multiple podcast appearances.

The host of the Huberman Lab also recommended What Do You Care What Other People Think? and noted that accounts like Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think? depict Feynman's playful spirit, ranging from pranking colleagues to engaging in artistic endeavors. On Freakonomics Radio, the host discussed What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character, noting that it was co-written by Ralph Leighton, published in 1988 the year Feynman died, and became a bestseller.
