Jeff Gramm appeared on podcast episodes to discuss activist investing and his own work in the field. During his appearance, he recommended Lynn Stout's The Shareholder Value Myth, calling it a thought-provoking book and explaining the corporate governance arguments it advanced. He also consistently recommended Alice Schroeder's The Snowball to people asking for investing books, describing it as a great work that remained surprisingly under the radar even among devoted followers of Warren Buffett. In addition to these recommendations, Gramm discussed his own book, Dear Chairman, and touched upon several historical subjects and case studies featured within its pages. He compared historical corporate responses to Ben Graham with the material he ultimately included in his book, mentioned Warren Buffett's career emergence during the mid-twentieth century, and described profiles of specific figures such as Carl Icahn and Philips. Furthermore, Gramm talked about Boone Pickens's long history with Philips, discussed a historical period when inexperienced investors were granted access to abundant capital, and described Dan Loeb's public hedge fund letters focused on shame-driven activism.
