A show that gets to the heart of the most important issues. I was able to unsubscribe from business and international relations channels, saving a lot of time. Demetri and his guests are creative and insightful.

And that is because he does not forecast the future. Instead he runs curiosity and a discovery thirst right from his heart into the minds of me as a listener. Thank You for all episodes and the neverending interview ride!

The episodes with people who actually do policy or have actual experience are far better. The host sometimes gets too caught up in narratives and gives them way more credence than they deserve over reality. Just because a bunch of random people say stuff doesn’t mean it’s important, especially in...Read full review »

To much pro establishment - close to neocons and biased views on many issues as well as guests. Otherwise good interviews.
Max Neb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
For supposedly heterodox thinkers this program is the most boring and predictable snooze fest on the net. Occasional decent guests but it’s those guests that bring the value not this program.

Excellent podcast, Demetri masterfully cuts the fluff and asks great questions to top notch guests

Hidden Forces is probably my favorite podcast. Smart, articulate, thought provoking... major learnings in every episode. I do wish there was a way to just buy the "premium feed" on a per episode basis. I'm not willing to shell out for the full membership experience but I'd...Read full review »

It’s always a pleasure to listen to Dimitri, he’s a great and thoughtful host.

Demetri really “hits it out of the park” in this interview with Andy Constan. In a brief amount of time, you’ll receive the equivalent of a college course on how the FED works and what this could mean in the short and long term for investing on the macro level. Great stuff, I’ve listened to it 3...Read full review »

Of HF is that it “ […] inspires investors, entrepreneurs and everyday citizens to Challenge consensus narratives and to learn how to think critically […] HF not only does that but also do it extremely well. This should be on everyone’s V.I.P (𝑉𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑃𝑜𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑡) list - and _incumbent_ upon...Read full review »

Best podcast overall for anyone who wants to find meaning in today’s crazy times
Andreas Dimou via Apple Podcasts · Greece · 06/11/23
Really great interviewer, has a very meta outlook on the world & shows up in his work.
jlem481 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
Longtime listener. The range of topics, the expertise of the guests, as well as the dynamism of the conversations is difficult to find in an increasingly bland race to the bottom for simplistic explanations of complex systems. I recommend Hidden Forces to anyone interested in finding the weak...Read full review »
the great shovel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
Just another boring financial podcast with cringe-level fear mongering to lure in the vulnerable among us. Sadly, it’s most often the older folks who fall for this garbage. They pay for the fears and this guy is happy to dish it out. PSA: If you want “the world is ending” content, you can find...Read full review »

I am a premium subscriber to this show, because it is worth it, hands down. I am a Security Studies student at Georgetown University, and if I had to give up this podcast, or my Foreign Policy magazine subscription, I would give up Foreign Policy first. This podcast is unparalleled in its ability...Read full review »

This was an incredibly informative interview with David Rosenberg. You asked great questions and he was able to provide fabulous insights that was reflective of his 4 plus decades in the financial sector. Thank you.
swac1102312 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/23
I've been listening to Demetri for a good number of years now and I can candidly say that he's by far the best interviewer I've ever heard. He deeply researches and prepares for each conversation, makes his guests feel comfortable, gets deep into the subject matter without ever coming...Read full review »
Barchueetadonai via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/23
This podcast is full of amazing guests, deep conversation and fresh insights about modern day politics, economics and technology. Demetri Kofinas is an amazing host, who always guides the conversation to go deeper and makes sure to create truly valuable content. It’s time we’ll spent 🙌
vladpazych via Apple Podcasts · Ukraine · 02/23/23
The most important issues today: science, technology, finance, geopolitics… the topics could be University courses. This is exactly why I subscribe. Demetri’s expert interviews cover complex trends and issues oversimplified by sound bite media. Informed dialogue will satisfy the curious and...Read full review »

Demetri is one of the best interviewers in podcasting, and certainly has some of the most interesting, thought provoking guests in the space. I would highly recommend for listeners looking for interesting discussion and insight on topics that are front and center in the national discourse.
joe vino via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/23
Hidden Forces is a fantastic show, in a world with so much misinformation and conflicting narratives it’s nice to feed the brain with something nourishing. Thanks for all the work you and your team do. The world needs more of this kind of content .
frazzlesdazzles via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/03/23
I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year now fairly religiously. Demetri is a great discussion leader and brings insightful collaborators onto the show. My favorite are his episodes with Eric Basmajian. I always learn something about geopolitics, Markets and general economics,...Read full review »

I’m always learning a lot when I listen to this podcast, and it helps me form a clearer picture of how the world works. It exposes a lot of interesting perspectives and dives deep into complicated subjects while remaining accessible.

I really enjoy your podcast Hidden Forces, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in people and ideas that matter, so you can always stay ahead of the curve.

In the past, this show has covered a broad range of topics and brought in experts from a variety of backgrounds for interesting discussions. It used to provide a stimulating discussion of some contemporary issues. Not anymore. In the past year or so, the podcast has been circling a drain. Recent...Read full review »
Mallard in Flight via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/13/22
It’s incredibly rare to find content of this quality. Demetri asks questions and considers perspectives that very few content creators do, approaching his subjects with seriousness, intellectual humility, and a courageous thirst for knowledge. I wish I had a course like this in college. I have...Read full review »

This is an extraordinary source of information and insight. Demetri is a gifted host who puts everything he has into the interviews.

Katelin in Colorado via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/22
One of the most in-depth yet educational to someone without deep knowledge about extremely current affairs. The host is extremely objective in his dive into complex issues in this world. No propoganda jus deep education. One of my favourite shows.
Buffting888 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/10/22
This podcast always has great episodes with some of the best guests in the field. The podcast has no ads and is entirely supported by listeners. I subscribe to the after episode conversations and it is certainly worth it.
calmtruth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/22
I discovered this podcast a month ago and I’ve been burning through the archive. Every interview has been highly engaging and I learn from each show. Highly recommend.
Tigger branch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/22
…. this is the podcast for the listener who likes that an interviewer poses half-a-dozen dozen questions at once to the interviewee. Every time.
VCVB via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 08/08/22
Excellent podcast that is truest thought provoking and informative
timadae via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 08/08/22
This podcast has helped my understanding of how the world works better than any other show or book I’ve ever encountered. Kofinas is a brilliant and patient interviewer who knows how to get the most of our each guest.
TheGuruOnEverything via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/07/22
This is the only podcast I pay for and I’m willing to do so because each episode brings so much value to me in my everyday life.
Vass83 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/22
I’ve been listening to Hidden Forces for a few years now. Demetri is so thorough and the topics are so interesting, if you’re looking for a way to expand your knowledge about foreign affairs, the economy, and politics, this is the best place to go.

This guy has no hidden agendas and what he thinks is the same as what he says. What he says is mostly correct every time.

Fghuiop via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/23/22
There are a lot of podcast at out there. This for me is among the very best. Demetri has a curious intellect that he uses to both go deep on issues ranging from politics, economics, finance, then identifies the intersections and links between developments in those areas. That’s a vital skill for...Read full review »
