Tom Papa appears frequently on The Joe Rogan Experience, bringing a perspective focused on creativity, health, history, and uncanny phenomena. As evident from his podcast conversations, Papa reads widely across subjects ranging from artistic discipline and mind-body medicine to historical accounts and controversial medical histories. He recommended Steven Pressfield's The War of Art to Rogan while discussing the psychological resistance inherent in creative work. In the realm of health, Papa discussed Dr. John E. Sarno's Healing Back Pain, sharing how comedian Greg Rogel recommended the book to help cure debilitating lower back pain by addressing the mind-body connection. He also brought up Kris Newby's Bitten, discussing its provocative claims regarding Lyme disease and military biological weapons research. Exploring history and classic horror fiction, Papa talked about reading Black Elk Speaks while delving into Native American history, and praised Stephen King's novel Christine, noting that the book offers a much more in-depth and gradual depiction of a car owner's descent into madness than its film adaptation. Furthermore, Papa discussed reading works related to spiritual movements, including Osho's The Art of Living and Dying.
