This is a great podcast. Well researched, well written and great effects. Jason’s not just repeating - or accepting “conventional” wisdom about change. Instead, he’s tracking down the real change story and communicating it in a way that leaves you wanting more. Can’t wait for the next story!

Very informative podcast with incredibly delivery. Our friend Jason Feifer is a very good host and asks just the right questions. (Check out his newsletter; also very cool) It’s clear that a lot, A LOT of time has been spent on this podcast. Big names come up and there are lots of perspectives...Read full review »

I listened to a few of these. They had some cute tidbits but definitely not worth subscribing or keeping in rotation. Mostly a waste of time.

This is one of my favorite shows of all time. Why? I not only learn something new every time I listen, I feel differently and better about the world each time I listen. Almost every show I start listening thinking I know how I feel about a thing, and then Jason radically changes my mind and...Read full review »

I love this cast! Interesting stories about historically hilarious pessimism! There is truly nothing new under the sun! Enjoy! Addendum: I would love to hear business wars from further back in time. Standard oil anyone? East India company?

The realistically positive approach to these subjects and depth of research is extremely refreshing, as well as thought provoking. The host is a great interviewer, and strikes the right balance of no nonsense discussion without oversimplifying the topics discussed. I find myself as encouraged by...Read full review »

I learned about BFT from a friend at a technology center think tank. I wasn’t much of a podcast listener before then, but this podcast made me realize how well podcasts can feed my lifelong urge to learn. I now listen to several different podcasts that teach me just super interesting stuff, and...Read full review »

Jason Feiffer dives into issues in a fascinatingly complex way. Take a look at the episode titles for a sense of the great questions he is asking. He consults with experts in fields for research and at the end of an episode you are always left with interesting questions.

Incredibly informative and would high recommend. Worth a listen and is some really thought provoking content.
Ditsjiecjdsfhtjvfdg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/21
This podcast is like listening to your most interesting friend. Great (and unique) topics and lots of fodder for conversation afterwards.
Kelly in tech via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/21
I absolutely love this podcast! Jason Feifer has a wonderful way of bringing the past to life through storytelling and guest experts/historians/voiceover talent. It’s nice to hear details about subjects that I may have learned about briefly in the past, and the production quality is also top notch.
AndrewDarlow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/21
Love Jason’s perspective and knowledge. A great listen!!

If you like facts and not just opinion then give this podcast a try! I think this is my first podcast review. I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of years. It’s part history, part study into human nature and all interesting. I think the name change was a good idea. It was hard to get...Read full review »

I love this podcast. It’s so well produced and the style is so interesting to listen to. I’ve learned so many facts to impress people at parties and meetings! I’ve shared this with everyone.
GinaSchreck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
I love the unexpected facts threaded together in this tale. So many commentators start with a point of view and like to comment on history without actually reading it, unlike our friend Jason. Told with which and humour I just think it’s wonderful.
Greatifitworked via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/28/21
I only planned to listen to a few minutes of this podcast and Jason is such a fantastic storyteller 58 minutes later I was listening to the closing credits. He mixed storytelling, with history and made it apply to the future. Extremely unique and extremely well produced. Bravo!
Tom Antion via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/21
I’m hooked! Great voice and great storytelling.
JaneegJeter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/21
A very interesting podcast but the presenter is exhausting - so hyper it makes me feel stressed to listen to an episode. I would love it if he calmed down a bit.
Li Bor via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/22/21
I've absolutely LOVED "The Pessimists Archive" and wasn't sure if I was going to like the new focus. If the cocktails episode is any indication, I had nothing to worry about. This podcast is dynamite.Read full review »

I was annoyed and skeptical when I couldn’t find my favorite podcast in my feed. But now that I listen to this episode I understand the title change and I absolutely love it. Will continue to use this podcast to encourage my friends and colleagues and will continue to suggest its use for my...Read full review »

These are great podcasts. I’ve been listening since the pessimistic old days and have been consistently pleased and intrigued by the ideas presented and the presentation.

This is a great podcast!!
yazooj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/21
Love this podcast and recommend it every chance I get! Heard about it a from a panelist at a confrence I attended last year on automotive tech and immediately subscribed. Also love the name change as previously people were skeptical when I raved about it. I think the new name will help!
wandering jaynes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/21
“Looking back to see a better future”. Would have been a much better name, but it is an excellent podcast. Keep up the great work.

Listened to the episode on whether advances in technology makes us “dumber”. Very well done! Loved how you sprinkled in interviews, the history of shorthand (who knew), and your reference to losing our contemplative side. Amazing stuff.
Dad of Levi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/21
Hope for more episodes!
Chan Trang via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 01/28/21
Awesome finishing and completeness of every topic covered. A great remark on the use of masks and the San Francisco anti-mask League
AntonioAstronomer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/21
Jason has always been interesting. To read his posts, to hear him speak at events, and also of course, to listen to his podcasts- he puts a lot of thought into what he presents and you can tell. The end result is a treat.
NatashaMiller via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/21
Nothing better than having this show in my routine now Jason!! Always great to have a fresh perspective on the world, especially when the world seems to be crashing down around us at sometimes.
