The Vanishing Mr. Feynman (Update)

Hey there, it's Stephen Dubner. We have been replaying our series on the physicist Richard Feynman. This is the third and final episode. I hope you've been enjoying it. We will be back next week with a brand new episode of Freeconomics Radio.

As always, thanks for listening. The Auguries of Innocence by William Blake to see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour. There's just times that I wish Feynman was here. Many, many times. I'm sorry, but this happens when I think of them, and I can't predict when it's gonna happen.

So give me a moment. Because I'm not good at, you know, controlling the upwelling. It does happen and I miss the man. Ralph Leighton is a retired school teacher who lives just north of Berkeley, California with his wife Phoebe. From their front porch you can see the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Pacific Ocean.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (61 minutes, 9,417 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
