In the past, podcast episodes were frequent and delivered by top speakers in their fields. These days, it sometimes takes many weeks between episodes and the speakers don’t seem to be as prominent as they used to be.

Long Now is great, I’ve gotten so much over the years, It makes me feel like I have a connection to a deep, profound (not-so) secret society. Their ideas, projects and places aspire me to do better, or make better. The people in Long Now I admire greatly, particularly Kevin Kelly’s talks as well...Read full review »

I’m an Ex long time financial supporter of this organization. The choice of speakers and subject matter for the seminars used to be fascinating but now for the most part are just…blah. This clock they’re building sounded great but after ten years I’m beginning to think it’s just a marketing...Read full review »

Like so many similar programs, you'll get half the story .... just the left half. I hate it when a political agenda takes over for science, but it's pretty common these days. In the latest episode Peter Leyden described his ideal future which would please any Sanders democrat. Jeff...Read full review »

Very detailed, illustrative and didactic.

A much needed look at where we’re headed and what we can do about it.

TED Talks give you 18 minutes of surface level information. The Long Now gives you 1.5 hours worth of informative knowledge, including a Q&A.

Too few people or organizations think deeply about the future. This is an important organization doing important work - thank you for bringing it into existence and for sharing the content with the world. My life is enriched by these speakers and the topics they tackle. I’m inspired by your...Read full review »
The Kobe Beef of Podcasts via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/16
This is one of the few of not only show that thinks about future, works for it, tries to make it better, rather to follow the flow like a dead fish.
jofbyz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/16
some of the most interesting speakers around. anthropologists/ programmers/ philosophers ...jared diamond / stuart brand / brian eno are all very very good.

Hit or miss. Some are very boring and some are very interesting. I don't blame them. I blame myself.Read full review »

Very clever talks by very clever folks.
Alex Leith via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/25/14
I listen to a lot of podcasts of all genre, and have convinced a lot of people to start listening to podcasts. This is always one of the first ones that I recommend to people. After getting my mom into it, I bought her a membership for Morthers Day because she was so obsessed!

Great ideas and stimulating conversations.

Excellent, high quality seminars and talks.
Pipermans via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 07/27/12
This is exactly the type of mental stimulation needed (for me anyway) to help get through a the days robotic actions known as work. Thank you Stewart Brand
Fix the media via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/24/12
It's been said that the biggest think about long term thinking is how it affects how you see and act in the present. Stewart Brand (known for The Whole Earth Catalog from the early 70's) helped found the Long Now Foundation, with the goal of impacting how we see our future (leaning...Read full review »

PhilippeHenriGirerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/12
My favorite podcasts ever. Viewpoints presented are primarily science based, pluralistic, and sometimes contradictory or even mutually exclusive. Understand better what's driving our times by listening to these seminars.Read full review »

This seminar series is brilliant. I look forward to attending one in person.
Vonson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/11
This is a fantastic podcast, but listening on the iPod is a bit awkward when selecting from multiple episodes - the only information in the list is the speakers' names, and that's not enough to make a selection. It would make things so much easier if you could just use a...Read full review »

These talks are in-depth, thoughtful, provocative, intelligent, funny at times, frightening at times, and all worth the time. You will learn amazing things.
Wormranch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/11
Everyone should listen to these talks and spread the word about the important and subtle dynamics driving world events that are covered here.
bloombergsorbet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/10
On the whole these seminars are very good, very thought provoking and given by very enlightened (and sometimes witty) speakers.
Digital Gary via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/28/10
... if you are sub-Lake Woebegon material, if you absorb the knowledge, wisdom, knowledge, and concerns voiced in this incredible series, you will blow by those prairie dogs like they were running in hip waders. Bravo Stewart and team

The problem with Long Now Podcasts is the quality almost entirely depends on the speaker - some can be gripping and interesting, whilst others are dull and uninformative. Nonetheless a mostly good Podcast that is well worth downloading.
Brother Valencio (AKA Valentine) via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/27/10
I have enjoyed listening to the guests Stuart Brand has selected. All of them are knowledgeable and thought provoking. Some of them are hopeful, others downright scary (e.g. Orlov).
gebanks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/09
Not one seminar has been dissapiointing. An essential treasure.
Flandrus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/09
The guests are amazing, and Dr. Brand is brilliant. Thanks for expanding my mind! I would like to humbly suggest that Dr. Brand turn off his microphone when not speaking (and move away from the microphone) since there is a lot of background breathing noise on the podcast. Thanks for your...Read full review »

These lectures, from some of the most important thinkers of our day, have been available for some time at LongNow.org, and I'm delighted to see they're now being properly distributed.
