What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dr. Peterson gives us a brilliant story of man’s journey through this world. His biblical knowledge surpasses most scholars, he connects psychology , philosophy and the WORD In a way that is truly a phenomenon. He creates a daring challenge for all of us, as children of God. Listening to him is a gift and takes me back to Bishop Fulton J Sheen.

I used to adore this podcast for its intense and unapologetic intellectual rigor and bold but academic willingness to say hard things. I gave it a 5 star review some time ago. In recent years the podcast has felt less rooted in academia and intellectualism and leans a little too heavily on ideology. The addition of Mikhaila dramatically lowers the intellectual bar that Mr Peterson set early in his controversial rise to fame. Wish we could get back to the origins of sensitive, caring, and brave critical thinking.

Literally wise and amazing. He listens - is open - is opinionated without being intellectually compromised and inspires me to hear.

Jordan has been the father I never had. I’m truly indebted to him for all the intellectual and emotional ideas he’s articulated. My father and I never had an emotional or any real relationship at all and never really taught me that much. Although he definitely was a provider but at the expense of totally detaching him self from the family which lead my mother to drink. I just wanted to show my support and let him know that I have a daughter now and I tell her I love her and that’s she can do anything she wants if it matters to her. As well as I’ll always have her back even when it’s time for her to go out in the real world. Thank you Jordan you’ve helped my articulation be better and help me expand my own mind as well as making my own family life better. Thank you!!

Peterson’s musings are filled with oversimplifications which misrepresent complex matters in the service of a message which is difficult to pin down. He presents conjecture as a statement of fact. He’s a secular preacher more than a teacher. He skips the personal humility part and jumps straight into telling you what to do about a range of topics he has little expertise in

NorthAbbot · Jan 2026

I’ve listened for prob 6 years or more. The podcast used to be interesting years ago when it was about psychological and personality topics. He had on interesting guests. I think he then decided that he wanted this to be his full time job bc he got in trouble at the university he worked at in Canada. He also had a bad addiction and he’s been VERY different since then. Since then, he’s saturated the show with political commentary and seems to now be attempting to attract hyper religious listeners. I can’t do it anymore. He’s so far out of his depth when discussing anything political. He’ll interrupt guests to interject points that don’t add to the conversation and show his lack of understanding. It’s clear he has a personal affinity for the Russians and their culture to the point where he thinks they won’t always do what they’ve always done and can be trusted. Invade their neighbors while crying that their neighbors were going to invade them. He has very little understanding of political topics but talks with such surety and authority that it just gets embarrassing to listen to. The religious listeners should listen to his discussion with Dawkins. He full out admits that he doesn’t believe the stories of the Bible are true in the literal sense. It’s all narrative. It’s a grift. A marketing scheme to drum up devoted listeners. The most recent episode with the creator of The Chosen, a bad tv show lol, Jordan asks if the creator is a prophet. He clearly doesn’t understand Christianity or that you can’t just spin the Bible to fit your worldview. I say this as a Christian. I can’t make it through more than one podcast a month or every two months bc the guests all sound the same and Jordan’s arguments all sound the same. He’s trying to be the Canadian Joe Rogan. Don’t waste your time. Go read his earlier books if you want to hear psychology content. PS - the ads randomly while listening…who decided that was the best way? It interrupts the flow of the discussion.
