Once again Stephen Hicks unearths a nugget: this time a 49-minute interview with the late Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, a certified genius, rollicking raconteur, and a man who self-admittedly did much of his best work while sitting at a booth at a strip club. True story. As Stephen says, "If you haven’t read Feynman’s hilarious and inspiring “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!” (Adventures of a Curious Character), put it on your short list. Right now." Also true.

Great to see this video!
In 1979, Feynman gave the Douglas Robb lectures in Auckland, NZ. Slightly more technical, but still aimed at a general audience, they are available at http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8
