    This guy is a psychologist, but Trump’s psychological problems weren’t glaringly obvious to him. I’m sorry but wwwhhhhhhaaaaaaa. Didn’t this guy used to challenge listeners about what they would do in 1930s Germany? And she shilled for Trump, the guy who tried to overthrow the government on live TV after attempting to overturn a free and fair election. I’m not a psychology expert, but that kind of sounds like a red flag. How does the defeat of cultural Marxism feel Jordan? Does it make up for the feelings associated with being a traitor to your country?

    Not Good
    Listened to less than half of it and had to shut it off. If there’s going to be a guest, then let them speak. They should be talking 80% of the time, not the other way around. Guest kept getting interrupted and couldn’t tell a story or get their thoughts out.
  • PeteyRico
    Frustrated
    I really want to listen to JP’s podcasts, but agree with others that he interrupts too frequently. I love his mind and the topics that he covers with his guests, but it is irritating to the listener, and I discern even at times to his interviewees. It's surprising because he's a psychologist and learning to be a good listener is essential, indispensable. So I often get frustrated and take a vacation from listening, but then want to come back because of his mind and topics.

    Katy Faust interview
    While I agree with what Mrs. Faust shared and the reform she is championing, the issue is much more nuanced and it was disappointing that Jordan did not take the interview in the direction of nuance. It isn’t as simple as man + woman + kids = all is well. There are way too many people in heterosexual monogamous relationships not ready to be parents and they are abusing and traumatizing their children. As the daughter of a narcissistic father, it was not enough to have conservative Christian parents. My mom and dad were present, but mom never put me or my brother first because dad demanded he be first at all times. I think it’s working against Mrs. Faust’s organization to not address this very significant issue. It felt disingenuous to say what is required for keeping children happy, safe, and healthy is a mom and dad in a monogamous relationship when so many of us are healing from that very situation. Jordan is usually on top of contradictions and misalignments and he missed this one.
  • doswoods
    Knowing who you’re listening to will help if you’re honest.
    Lots of reviews saying JP is interruptive and talks too much. These are not necessarily interviews. Most are more like conversations with the intent of pushing ideas further than he has previously with a partner who’s input is likely to facilitate that process. His interruptions are either attempts to fine tune a thought or enthusiastic, albeit sometimes abrasive reactions to revelations or sudden advancement in his own thought processes. It’s less a plan to entertain you and more “I’m going to have a chat and you’re just invited to listen”. If your gripe is genuine and not just a way to bring down someone you ideologically oppose, I hope this helps. God bless.
  • Wonder_Women
    Echo chamber
    He is his own echo chamber. I very rarely see him change his mind when he is confronted with new information. Also Jordan only brings on people he agrees with. He is at his best when he stay on topics that he knows. He is better when he is the one being interviewed. Also couple years ago. A couple of years ago he was in pain and he claims the doctor didn’t know what was wrong. It turns out he was having withdraws from being on anti-anxiety meds also know as benzos how dare anybody say he was once addicted to drugs cause isn’t too smart for that?
  • hazelparker
    Clementine interview~
    Huge fan of JP but jeeeez, let this girl tell her story. Way too many interruptions during this show. I understand JPs need to gather info and share his professional insight but I was very disappointed as he continued to guide the conversation rather than simply let her speak and listen with peppered interruptions. JP kept inserting his views and opinions for 80% of the show…less talk more listen please!!!!!!!!!
  • RoMeLeg
    Needs Improvement
    I only heard one episode and it was enough to not want to listen to anything else. I listened to the episode with Arthur Brooks and it was so frustrating that I had to take breaks. How can you effectively interview someone or have a conversation when you keep interrupting your guest? Arthur will start answering a question and mid sentence he would interrupt with another question or a comment.

    Thanks from Mat Brooks
    Dr. P, your brilliant mind and ability to abstract such depth from the biblical stories has provided a path for me to end my 40 years wandering the desert. Thank you. I just had the pleasure of attending your lecture in Evansville IN. The next time you are in the area of Kentucky or close to Cincinnati OH, I encourage you to visit the Ark Encounter in Williamstown KY. Arkencounter.com.

    Astonishing
    Peterson has astonishingly overcome the very high bar of worst podcast in history with his interview of Dr. Benjamin Bikman. According to Bikman I should be dead. Instead, I'm 77 years old, 47 years vegetarian (mostly vegan) and in excellent health. Medication free, never hospitalized, haven't had need of a doctor's care for almost 20 years, optimal weight, blood pressure, glucose levels, etc. No ED, brain fog, lack of energy, very good mobillity, literally no chronic disease of any kind. So tired of the ridiculous line of thought that no one can thrive on a diet such as mine. For the record, my diet consists of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, mushrooms, nuts and seeds, herbs and spices. Bikman and Peterson should try it.

    Politics must be your Kryptonite…?
    The double-speak is right in the title: the only transparency in this motley cabinet is the kleptocratic audacity to burn it down INDISCRIMINATELY, parse it among themselves and their billionaire puppet masters, then buy it up on the cheap! Sometimes you’re very insightful; this CAN’T be one of those times….
  • I am Scott a
    He talks too much.
    Why does he even bother having people on his show? It’s rude to invite someone on a show and just have them sitting there listening to you most of the time. Host and guest are completely reversed.
  • LilRedheadedGirl7
    I tried. But wow. He’s scary.
    I didn’t know much about this guy but I’d heard his name a few times. So I gave him a listen and I could barely get through it. He’s triggering. I’m not a lefty or really even a Dem. But he’s really hard to listen to. He’s into conspiracy theories and his spin on things is really just wrong.
  • Ashmede
    Insightful
    Broad and deep. Jordan Peterson will relentlessly pursue the truth in the face of politically correct opposition at every turn. His guests are typically the thought leaders in their field, though not in the conventional main stream. Jordan will ask insightful questions, that even gives additional insight to his own guests. The only downside is that Jordan sometimes monopolizes the time himself, and also asks complex multi part questions.

    Episode errors
    Dr. Peterson if you read this thank you for everything you have done. Still in 2025 we love you. Please never stop. The reason I am posting this is to inform you, if you’re not already aware of it, a lot of your episodes restart roughly 30 minutes into them. They don’t start over physically back at 0:00 but the episodes will randomly restart and you have to scrub forward to 60 minutes or so (it’s not always the same length into the episode) to find where I was. I don’t know if it’s just me but I just wanted you to be aware.

    An Intellectual Phenomenon?
    No. When he spoke on factual matters he can be interesting. When he starts speaking about his political opinions everything he states is questionable and typical partisanship.

    JP —aligned perfectly to human evolution
    I have not ever come across someone who is so perfectly aligned to how we all should be thinking and acting, enacting our future (mental) evolution. Jordan Peterson is someone every person should listen to and model after. Incredible person, incredible insight. It is no wonder people try and downgrade him because of their sheer jealousy in his ability of connecting the dots, insight, wisdom and forethought. Thank you Jordan Peterson for all that you do and ushering us into a new era of thought!
  • jdtadj
    He needs to go back to honest journalism.
    His interview with Pierre was a great example of how his dislike for Trudeau takes away from honest reporting. He did not question Pierre about any of the issues where Pierre’s previous voting history is of concern. For instance, Pierre voted to criminalize parents who don’t want to transition their children but Peterson did not bring it up once. Any issue that was possibly contentious was left out of the entire discussion.
  • StarLord1996KIK
    Absolutely necessary
    I can’t even explain what Jordan’s lectures and podcast has done for me as a husband and father. If you want the best version you yourself listen in and pay attention.
  • chubby baker
    Jordan, I love you, but…
    You suffer that professorial malady that in trying to say everything you fill each sentence with 12 common slices and therefore say very little. It takes you 16 minutes just to get started in each of your topics. Get to the point. Subject predicate object works every time.
  • mario bro gamer
    Assume the person you are listening to knows something that you don’t
    Mr Peterson, I love your books and lectures! You changed a lot of people’s lives. Just. Please. Stop. Interrupting. Listening to other people is a great skill. It’s your 9th rule. I feel bad for your guests, and they had information I couldn’t listen to. Other than that, I think it’s an amazing podcast.

    impersonating your foundation by woke left
    Someone with a first name mikaila and your last name is on twitter claiming to have started a foundation in your name. She also called me "woke right". Maybe this is an impostor. Maybe an employee of your foundation is using your name as a mouthpiece for her liberal ranting. I'm unsubscribing because I don't need to provide time or attention to people who hate me.

  • Bdh0900
    I loved his earlier stuff.
    He uploaded lectures he gave to his students about the big five personality traits. It really helped me to learn more about myself which helped my relationships and find more meaningful employment. As much as I love how well he articulates himself and how easy he is to understand, he isn’t a very good interviewer. He tends to interrupt too often and take over the conversation. That is the only reason I won’t give him 5 stars. We need more people like him.
  • Michael Morrell
    Long time listener finally tuning out
    I’ve listened for prob 6 years or more. The podcast used to be interesting years ago when it was about psychological and personality topics. He had on interesting guests. I think he then decided that he wanted this to be his full time job bc he got in trouble at the university he worked at in Canada. He also had a bad addiction and he’s been VERY different since then. Since then, he’s saturated the show with political commentary and seems to now be attempting to attract hyper religious listeners. I can’t do it anymore. He’s so far out of his depth when discussing anything political. He’ll interrupt guests to interject points that don’t add to the conversation and show his lack of understanding. It’s clear he has a personal affinity for the Russians and their culture to the point where he thinks they won’t always do what they’ve always done and can be trusted. Invade their neighbors while crying that their neighbors were going to invade them. He has very little understanding of political topics but talks with such surety and authority that it just gets embarrassing to listen to. The religious listeners should listen to his discussion with Dawkins. He full out admits that he doesn’t believe the stories of the Bible are true in the literal sense. It’s all narrative. It’s a grift. A marketing scheme to drum up devoted listeners. The most recent episode with the creator of The Chosen, a bad tv show lol, Jordan asks if the creator is a prophet. He clearly doesn’t understand Christianity or that you can’t just spin the Bible to fit your worldview. I say this as a Christian. I can’t make it through more than one podcast a month or every two months bc the guests all sound the same and Jordan’s arguments all sound the same. He’s trying to be the Canadian Joe Rogan. Don’t waste your time. Go read his earlier books if you want to hear psychology content. PS - the ads randomly while listening…who decided that was the best way? It interrupts the flow of the discussion.

    The return
    Jordan Peterson things will only get worse even with trump in office. The prophecies of the Bible are all taking place. Give your life to God fully, there will be a rude awakening in the United States!! God is coming back! All you see happening around the world is prophecies. Get ready Jesus is coming!

    Molding Character
    I came across Dr JBP and I’ve been hooking ever since. As I’ve watched him over time, I find myself wanting to enhance/expand my character, my meaning, my path. I recommend him to anyone who wants to just think a bit deeper and just give life and perspective a different thought.
  • Mike_Robbie
    Great but you talk too much versus the people you’re interviewing
    I have learned so much by listening to many of these interviews with fascinating and interesting people and the subject matter is always incredibly prescient for our times. The one thing that keeps me from giving this a five star rating is how the interviewees are consistently interrupted which takes away from their storytelling.
  • American42846
    I love your show
    I found out about Jordan from daily wire, and I have to see he has some of the most interesting ideas and conversations I’ve ever heard, I especially like his new series the gospels, and I also would really like to see a series where Jordan dissects Arthurian legends, thanks and you are the best Jordan!
  • Crusader57301
    Needs to talk less and more
    I remember when I had first come across JP as he was just becoming a big name on the forefront of the current culture war. I really enjoyed some of the things he had to say and he appeared to be a genuine and humble man. But not it just seems he can’t get enough of hearing himself talk. He keeps interrupting the people he is supposed to be having a conversation with, even right in the middle of someone giving very personal story about a moment that completely changed there life, just to insert this supposed psychological wisdom. Was disgusting and disgraceful. Hope this or some other like criticism will get to him and help turn him around and perhaps give back some humility.
