  • Nine years of time travelling

    Having finally achieved in early 2025 listening to all the episodes of Rune Soup all the way back to 2015, I can say that it’s been a very wild, wild ride! Over nine years as a listener I hear the transition through the complete Covid-19 impacts, heard multiple interviews of the same people and enjoyed every one, and gained a weird insight into Gordon White’s mind. I’ve appreciated nearly every episode! This podcast has impacted my magickal practice in many ways. Thank you, Gordon, thank you.

  • Good content, dismal sound quality

    The last episode makes the guest sound as if he had massive sigmatism, which he doesn’t. It’s hard to understand the content at times and his volume is often way too low.

  • What a shame

    Interesting subjects but the host is an absolute wrong ‘un.

    There’s better out there in the podcast world, do yourself a favour and listen to them instead.

  • Half baked conspiracies

    I’m open minded; I started following this show because the host interviewed someone I’m interested in, Richard Metzger. I believe in magic. But I’m not so open-minded as to have lost my discernment. These are half baked conspiracies. You believe that Kamala Harris had a wire concealed in her earring during the debate with Trump? OK, this is your guy. But that is so easily debunked. And this show is chock full of that sort of misinformation. spreading misinformation is a satanic task, because t... more

  • Extremely disappointed in Gordon. At least with this critique, as he seems to forget the part of Elon Musk in promoting extremist right-wing ideology, and refusing to ban neonazi, terrorist, and pedofiles accounts from xitter, and that's why the site was banned. Funny thing gordon is in the same as bolsonaro, this should make you think.

The Life, Times and Legacy of Robert Anton Wilson | Gabriel Kennedy
