  • Absolutely fascinating

    If you’re interested in anthropology, human history, or how to navigate our future in a world on the precipice of catastrophe, Peter’s podcast is a must listen. His guests and interviews are absolutely fascinating—not just interesting in a “this is smart and good for me so I should listen to it” sort of way, but in a truly riveting, “I can’t turn this off” kind of way. Honestly, I can’t listen to most podcasts because I’m a journalist and find most interviewers infuriating because they’re so ego... more

  • Absorbing antidote to the ills of lost wildness

    I have been listening to this podcast since it began and find the episodes with guest interviews particularly good. Peter is an intelligent and interested host, peppering the shows with self-deprecating humour. The longer conversational format is excellent for allowing the guests to expand upon how they got to be where they are now in their lives. All the guests, however far their interests, faith or views were from my own, proved to have deeply interesting life paths which I greatly enjoyed hea... more
