  • Formerly great, now just a MAGA-pilled crank

    I got into Kunstler through his hilarious and cutting TED talk about ugly architecture many years ago. This podcast used to be focused on similar topics (New Urbanism, etc), with an increasing focus on peak oil. These days he mostly rants about COVID, with a carousel of quack guests who live in the same sad, scared echo chamber. I do miss the old show, and hope Jim can extricate himself from the RFK Jr circus he seems to have run away with.

  • Great podcaster

    I love this podcast. James does a great job with the guest he has on. He researches them well , it seems like he reads their books in preparation of the show. His conversations flow well and he will ask questions that are unique for each guest. When he does not agree with something he will speak up and give his thoughts and then let the guest provide counter points. In some way the flow of conversations remind me of older NPR stories. Love the podcast!

  • Sigh

    Still keeping tabs on JHK's (re/pro)gress but sorry to say he's that family relative who's become a sunken cost. Gonna have to say "Ciao" for my own mental health. If I were an anthropologist paid to track him, fine, doable. But I ain't.

  • I encountered Jim Kunstler when he was involved in appearances about peak oil in 2008. I have listened and read his blog for a long time to his apocalyptic predictions. I guess I have grown up and he has remained the same. He casts aspersions on anyone in power or in control. He posits that some skullduggery has gone on ....constantly. I can now barely get through a third of each episode before I give up in frustration. Too much conspiracy and not enough facts.
