You have the right guy. But it might be hard to jump into the "web of belief" idea since it's nested in a lot of other philosophical work. But here is an introduction. This excerpt comes from the Great Courses lectures on the philosophy of science which you can get on audible:

"Quine’s famous metaphor is that of a web of belief. Experience impinges on the edges, but there are always many ways of distributing that force through the web. It is possible to keep any local belief in place if you are willing to move enough stuff around it."

And this excerpt from a philosophy of science textbook by peter godfrey-smith, which you can find on Amazon.

"For Quine, all our ideas and hypotheses form a single “web of belief,” which has contact with experience only as whole. An unexpected observation can prompt us to make a great variety of possible changes to the web. Even sentences that might look analytic can be revised in response to experience in some circumstances. Quine noted that strange results in quantum physics had suggested to some that revisions in logic might be needed."
