“I enjoy his show. On his podcast with Matt Bracken, I noticed how quickly he changed the subject when Mr. Bracken mentioned about how when Jews are over represented and it’s called a “coincidence “. Perhaps he told the truth and struck a nerve.”

“I cannot think of a more pleasant, more informed and heartfelt podcast. JHK understands the world - and curiosly also strange places like my native Scandinavia, like very few in NA. Reading and listening to JHK has changed my life since discovering The Long Emergency fifteen years ago as a 25 yo...”Read full review »

“Often irreverent and sometimes whimsical, Kunstler always entertains. His podcasts follow the lost art of actually allowing his guests to speak as he doesn’t try to be the center of attention like most hosts do in this age of selfies.
Sometimes his questions are cringeworthy to younger...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy listening to Jim. He’s got a nostalgic sense to him, and reminds me of my northeast roots: small town intellectual farmer types.”

“Love the podcast. But that former Vermont Gov is the “problem” with this country. Typical uni-party clown that allows the criminals in government to flourish by his impotent view on reality.”

“An amazing and difference between the books this man has written, and his podcast.

“I loved Jim’s old books, Geography of Nowhere, and Home From Nowhere. Sadly, he has lost much of his insight and well-balanced humor and turned certifiably nuts. Few of his predictions come true and he has lost his way. Other reviewers are right on the spot when complaining about David Collum and...”Read full review »

“Kunstler used to be interesting. Now he’s an anti-vaxer, big-lie supporter, Ayn Randian who thinks kids in hoodies eating skittles should be shot by vigilantes.
If that’s your thing, this podcast will make you feel at home. And who knows? It may inspire you to storm the Capitol!”

“I enjoyed some of the sessions (Blittersdorf, Duany) and the iconoclasm below and sometimes above the surface. Collum as guest is especially a waste of time, fond of clever and empty speculation. Cheered on by host Kunstler.”

“Jim’s voice used to be so refreshing, despite the redundancy and perennially wrong predictions and prognostications. He staked out a position that - even though we knew it was riddled with logical errors - still had a large ring of truth to it.
Then he somehow got swallowed by the Fox News...”Read full review »

“I love JHK’s writing. The future may not be rosy, but better to consider it now while we can improve our position. Our step wise decline may not arrive soon or be an empty gas pump. But our system is corrupt and our currency is dangerously stretched.
Timing future events is impossible but the...”Read full review »

He really knows his stuff about urban...”Read full review »
