  • Word salad

    One of the few podcasters out there that presents alternative views and opinions. One of the great interviewers but this interviewee in my view is a disappointment and unconvincing

  • Inside Jim’s Mouth

    He won’t turn his mic off in the edit, so you get to hear all his intimate noises.

    Suks harder than his Pro-Rusky / Mr. Trump red-pill.

    Used to be a good guy…

  • 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!
