- Kills everything it touches
I have listened to Acid Horizon on and off for the past few years. Each time, the host and the guests manage to suck all the vitality out of the object of their attention by theorizing it to death. The faux edginess, the empty posturing, the absurd framing, the obtuse takes: this show is made of the sort of nonsense that I had hoped to leave behind in grad school. No wonder everyone hates the academy. Acid indeed!

United States2 months ago - The best podcast
This podcast is incredible. A really high level of discussion and engagement with ideas that really matter to the world, at this point in time. This is highly useful in pushing forward my own thinking,
both in relation to my academic and creative life. Thanks all involved xxx

United Kingdom4 months ago - Mediocre claptrap
Looks like esotericism is the new grift these days. This show is mostly nobody pseudo-academics giving their uninformed rambles disguised as some form of “edgy” wisdom. There are better podcasts with more real depth and rigour out there. I have this many attempts - could not finish even one episode. My ears are allergic to mediocrity, no thank you!

…let the guests speak for themselves. Sometimes the presenters veer towards showboating. And yes, sometimes references or explanations/contexts for some of the more obscure references would be helpful.
Apple Podcasts3GilgamickUnited Kingdom7 months ago - Brilliant
Being honest, quite a bit of the content goes above my head as someone only just venturing into philosophy etc but it doesnt stop me from listening. I’m a depth psychology and so have particularly enjoyed the episodes about James hillman.
