Tom Magliozzi read selections from two of Bader's books Haikus for Jews and Zen Judaism on NPR's radio program Car Talk.[3][4]

Excerpts from Bader's books have been widely circulated on the web and in e-mail, in most cases without permission. As William Novak notes, "his work has been all over the Internet without attribution."[5][2]
