United Statesa month ago - The Real Deal
This is one of the very few podcasts that actually offers important information for humans. As so many of us are getting intellectually lazier, this podcast presents it’s material in a way that encourages us to follow-no matter the complexity. And it does this without the fanfare of ego & commerce that are the M.O. of podcasts writ large. Bravo!
Apple Podcasts5Dg the skierUnited States6 months ago - Valuable
This podcast has influenced me a lot, and I think some of the basic concepts Gordon talks about are pretty crucial.

Apple Podcasts4FutureMeIsDeadUnited Statesa year ago - 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.

Australiaa year ago - 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.
