The Peter Zeihan Podcast Series - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Peter offers good insights from a unique perspective of geopolitics and demographics however he presents his findings with too much certitude. He should temper his opinion a bit and leave room for the unexpected such as technological changes. China is not going anywhere soon but will look different in the future.

Peter provides me the ‘dark matter’ that pulls so much of the geopolitical news into an understandable perspective. These podcasts are with me throughout my day.

Overall I enjoy listening to this podcast. I disagree with someone of his political points but he provides a different view point on domestic events.

Geopolitical prognostication is, at best, a statistically unreliable business but Mr. Zeihan does as well or better than most.

Far from prescient, his analysis, articulate and well researched, is delivered with a dose of snark and borne of his apprenticeship in governmental ivory towers. He approaches things from a angle rooted in a thinly veiled liberal superiority and suspicion, even disdain, for most things populist though populism is a legitimate driver of many if not most agenda items in real politik. I have listened to him for a while and have both enjoyed and agree with much of what he has to say but…a suggestion…

Remember, living in world of absolutes may make for more entertaining podcasts but erodes your credibility in the harsh light of reality. Don’t be afraid to say, “got that one wrong.” You spend so much time dismissing and denigrating all things Donald Trump and anyone who deigns to support his agenda, you can occasionally come off as an apologist for his opponents and just a tad pompous and condescending to his allies.

The global expertise of all events, history, culture astounded me every day.
The fact that my wakeup routine included accurate indisputable knowledge, vs drama and opinion, was invaluable
The 5-7 minutes stream of facts tickled my curiosity and invigorated the urge to learn more.
How incredibly disappointing the program has migrated to Patreon.
To receive the used-to-be daily stimulation of critical current events, stale by a week, isn’t inspiring.
Thank you for the previous amazing knowledge shared on Apple Podcasts with no fee.

I appreciate all the insights Peter is sharing- thank you for that. My only beef is the subpar audio quality. Sometimes there is so much interference or background noise that I can barely u der stand what he is saying. Also it is mixed so low that so have to turn my system up to the max, which makes my ears fly off when the inevitable ad for a casino or investing scheme follows the pod and is mixed to about double the volume. Also please somebody tell Peter that it is pronounced nuclear, coming from Latin nucleus and not nucular unless you are making a Homer Simpson reference.
Recently there is also misinformation happening on this show. Peter stated that the Teamster’s union endorsed Trump for president. In fact, they did no such thing. Even though their boss made an appearance at the RNC they endorsed neither presidential candidate. A more rigorous fact checking is necessary.
