Transformative
Ahhh, now Peterson is becoming truly transformative. Thank you for moving out of the (boring, stressful and dead) landscapes of politically-charged interviews, and into the bright highlands of philosophy, personal development and improvement, and pure inspiration. Honestly: your recent philosophical analyses of “no such thing as a dragon” and the others was transformative and gives me much to think about for a long, long time. I can’t wait to digest the new episode on social media in the family. With young kids, I will listen to this alongside my wife. See, like I say, this is what we NEED Peterson for. Never go back to the grating and miserable political interviews. There is nothing life-giving about those. Thanks, Hoping to have the honor of meeting and chatting with you someday, if not on earth, then at the Father’s house. See ya there!!

Dragon Tail
Dr Peterson is my hero. I have learned so much from listening to him and I am profoundly grateful for his appearance in this world and my life. He is a courageous man, and I hope that God will bless his work and protect him from the malevolence of this world.

Loving the Fairy Tales
It’s great to see a return to fatherly advice that can be gleaned from fairy tales and the Bible. As I raise my own kids and watch my own father suffer through poor health, this is the consolation I needed.

Fairy Tales
Thank you for your insight on Snow White and Hansel and Gretel. I enjoyed your take on the stories very much and it makes the stories more enjoyable.

Hope & Clarity
I started listening because I greatly appreciate people that put effort in staying neutral when delivering information —allowing the listener to draw their own conclusions. He challenges us to critically think.

More fairytales
I love the format and the content of the Snow White episode. You mentioned you might do more...I highly encourage. I might even beg.

Enjoyable
I like Jordan Peterson. I like the way he talks, I enjoy listening to his voice, and I appreciate the effort he often puts in to playing devils advocate. Some of the things he talks about I have a strong understanding of, some things he helps me to understand better, and some just go completely over my head. I don’t always like his guests, but I’m happy there is a large variety. Honestly, though, the reason I’m taking off one star is because sometimes Jordan makes comments that seem uncharacteristically ignorant and destructive. I know he’s a smart man, so when he says things that seem to lack very basic insight and reasoning, I can only assume he is coming from a place of self-righteousness, with a goal of manipulation. This certainly removes a level of credibility to his arguments.

Snow White episode
This was such a great insight into fables and mythology. I hope you do more of these types of podcasts. Thank you for all your wisdom.

Snow White
I shared this with my daughter because we love Snow White, but are only familiar with the Disney version (original not woke). The way you retell this story is awesome. I recommend moms share with their daughters.

Episode 556
Social media isn’t just destroying childhood, it’s destroying marital relationships as well. 36 yrs here. His day off spent with his phone in hand from dusk to dawn, literally. 😞

June 16 Episode Was Great!
I just finished watching the Genesis lecture series and this was a great distillation of much of the content from that series. So it compressed much of ~40 hours of content into this one podcast. 👍👍

Thank you, Mr. Peterson, for all your work!
Your deep knowledge of the topic and insightful understanding of the issue immediately drew me into your talk.
I truly enjoyed it.

So
Are you Christian or not? I don’t know how one goes about his career speaking on stories from both the old and New Testament, but when you play coy. Jordan, be honest.

Great show!
Enjoyed the conversation with Megyn Kelly!!

Losing me
JBP had mad a difference in the lives of countless young people. It’s almost every day that some young person comes knocking on my door wanting to acquire Christian Faith. Invariably it’s because they’ve been on The Peterson/Pageau pipeline.
But since he’s been in the employ of the Daily Wire he’s become an unquestioning Zionist. It’s disheartening that one who has been so intellectually courageous and honest has conceded to being an apologist for genocide.
As some other reviewer has stated, “let’s hear your normal honest presentation of your beliefs here…”

Confused
Jordan Peterson changed my life and the way I see the world. I discovered the value of faith, matured as a woman and a believer. But I can’t for the life of me make sense on his stand regarding Israel and Palestine. I try to be as impartial as possible but I just can’t fathom his seemingly unwavering support for Israel in this conflict. I hope there is a full length podcast where he dives into this issue and in his usual style argues his position. I’ll be all ears.

Steak, not Twinkies
Jordan Peterson’s podcast is akin to sitting down to a juicy steak and not the Twinkies of many other podcasts . You’ll be enjoying substance and will walk away well nourished. My only criticism is his prolific use of G*ddamn. I cringe every time he says it.

Pride
Pride is a cardinal sin, huh? How about when you are proud to be an American. Still a sin? Or just pride for gay people?
Randall_Brando
Thank you
Amazing. Very helpful.
Dr. Peterson is a great listener and a singer. Most impressive that you can do both at the same time (I can only do one at a time).

Liars!
Or maybe you’re just stupid. Either way take Shellenberger’s lies and shove them up your backside there to meet with your firmly implanted head.

Been listening for a long time!
Long time listener and I enjoy his broad range of discussion. One thing that would be nice, though, is if JBP would allow his guests time to fully answer his question before he interrupts and goes on a tangent. I ain’t going no where.
idsissylala
Outstanding quality and depth!
I’m a daily listener now and catching up on previous episodes. Dr. Peterson and his guests are thorough, knowledgeable and honest. So many take-aways!

Pseudo-intellectualism at its finest!
Old JP here is a master of taking intellectual symbology and corrupting it for the cause. "What cause?" you might ask. Converting young men with open and curious minds to neofascists. Neofascist fodder for the ultra rich to exploit for votes and noise on what passes for social media these days, and to use as superficial push back to any progressive causes or even evil progressive thoughts in your "poor misguided naive brain." If you're really an open minded young person with a brain in your head and conviction in your heart, give philosophy a try. You won't regret learning what it means to think rigorously, and it will help you weed out pseudo-intellectualist dweebs like this guy.

Former fan, currently disgusted
You don’t speak for good men. Your insouciant daughter can take a hike. Your filthy attacks on “woke right” have lost you and your sorry family nothing but disdain. Good riddance. Bye now. You psychobabble has lost its appeal to the masses. People are sick of your elitist type. We know you’re owned by Israel.

Cost me friendship
Jordan paints gay male guys as being groomers and only sexual. He calls pride nothing more than a big sec parade. These are all lies. A friend of mine ended listening to him and believing his lies. It cost me a good friendship. Jordan is a pansy and lies to promote his world view.

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 he 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. He’s also seemingly obsessed with the lives of trans people. To an unhealthy degree. You know he’s a transphobe given the outsized attention he pays to dehumanizing less than 1% of the population.
How does the defeat of cultural Marxism feel Jordan? Does it make up for the feelings associated with being a traitor to your country?

Thank you
I really don’t have the words to say how thankful I am for you JP. Thank you for being you.

Grifter and quacks, the lot of them
Playing so many people like a fiddle. A very successful cult leader. A beacon for the empty hollow carcasses, the excrement of a white supremacist misogynistic society devoid of magic or love or spirituality and complete bought by the capitalist class culture wars bc apparently hate causes boners?

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.

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.

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.

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?
