There have been some really wonderful guests on this podcast throughout the years (and plenty of ones I have skipped past), but I am finding myself increasingly annoyed with Gordon’s sense of entitlement + condescension/narcissism which has become clearer and clearer to me with each episode I...Read full review »

Or is this late stage Gordon? Yes, brilliant- but also so annoying to listen to self congratulatory pseudo intellectual diatribe.

Highly recommended show. You’ll learn here. Life is amazing and Gordon helps you to find that. Join rune soup members you’ll grow!

Red pilled Australian man obsessed with USA unsuccessfully trying to hide boring right wing talking points in pseudo, spiritual, mumbo-jumbo language.

I have been listening to Rune Soup since the beginning of my spiritual journey in 2015. I appreciate Gordon for the years and years of education and mind exploding ideas!

Did you seriously just say that your idea of utopia is for all Hollywood writers to end up homeless on the streets of LA because you don’t like the latest Star Wars movies?! Dude. Yeah, those movies are crap but these are actual people you are talking about who I am guessing are just trying to...Read full review »

I’ve listened to a few episodes. Idk…I was hoping this podcast would be more informative, not just people shooting the breeze and occasionally touching on the topic of each episode. I’m going to poke around the older episodes to see if I find what I’m looking for, but so far I’m not all that...Read full review »

Gordon is an engaging host, brilliant interviewer, and has a wonderful sense of humor. I have, and continue to, learn so much from him and his guests.

I was previously a regular listener, but this podcast’s descent into Covid-denial, conspiracy theories and Putinist propaganda is unbearable. I’m out.

White finds interesting guest and can pull out the best in them when let’s them talk. It does often feel like he has to be the smartest person in the room but it is his show.

I love The subject matter and title of this podcast as I am a Reiki practitioner myself and love all things about healing, paranormal etc. I just had to turn off the episode with Lance Baker because I have a speaker which is an excellent speaker laying right next to my head and Mr. Baker is...Read full review »

I am a relatively new listener and I love the idea of the show - the esoteric, magical topics and discussion. I just wrapped up the January 13, 2016 Christopher Knowles episode. He rambled and I feel this episode was a complete loss of my time. No substance, he seemed to lack focus, and it...Read full review »

My grandparents lived near an occult shop called the Brass Unicorn. As a teen I used to sneak off to visit the shop. The smell of incense, the bizarre ritual devices, herbs and grimoires took me to another world. The fellow running the store was a scary looking old hippie with long scraggily...Read full review »

captivated at first by the interesting guests in the show but dissapointed to hear the host speak over them alot of the time and just talk about themselves through alot of the interviews. Also bummed about the conspiritorial/anti mask/anti vax route the show has gone on.
hellraisey via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/07/22
When offered some great insight, Gordon never misses the chance to remind us that he knows all about that insight and should, by the way, remind us of his general cleverness and wittiness. Hope he gets over that. Otherwise good show.

Found out about you from the No Simple Road Podcast, keep up the good work

I don’t know where I would be in my practice without this program. Thank you for being so openminded to the various ways to practice magic.
poipoi06 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/21
Was here till the cancellation podcast. What a surprise that two privileged white kids don’t appreciate wokism. When you have the privilege to see woke ways of thinking as unnecessary that’s because you are not benefiting from it. I’m out.

Chaos protocols is a great book and I love when Gordon is a guest on THC
Huacha215 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/21
The playbook used by a famous “news” TV host as outlined by Jennifer Marciela, ie: “ And that is how TC wields conspiracy theory against his audience members. He hijacks their ability to think critically with fear appeals, then uses the language of conspiracy to tell them that they should be...Read full review »

Gordon mixes it up. Doesn’t mess with the woo or any of the wack face palmy type personalities. Good stuff.
drewhunterthompson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/21
I usually love Gordon’s work. Today I am dismayed. What should have been a great piece of discussion turned into white foreign mansplaining on how falsely virtuous BLM can be, and how no one who cares about activism should have voted for Joe Biden. It occurs to me, with respect, that neither...Read full review »

The host propagates the idea that masks don’t work in curbing airborn viral infections and he is an anti-vaxxer. That reflects poorly enough on his intellect, critical thinking skills, intent and energy for me to unsubscribe, stop listening, and move on to better and more responsible podcasts.

Just discovered this podcast. In a world of frequent nonsense, this one is a breath of bracing fresh air. Consistently interesting choice of guests from diverse places too.
NeilTG via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/21
Quickly becoming my favorite podcast and somehow someway the entire back catalogue just became available so back to the beginning. Thanks Gordon!

Binging this podcast on spring break here in British Columbia. Great guests, thoughtful interviews.
potatobug2 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/24/21
I'm a fan and dedicated Rune Soup listener. Gordon is well spoken and tends to have thoughtful guests. That said, he's got a truly terrible habit of referring to others as "dumb" and sharing knowing laughter at the unbearable stupidity of other people. If you can get past the...Read full review »

Gordon’s expertise is plain to see and so is his ability to communicate it well. Although dry and sometimes boring compared to higher profile podcasts, what Rune Soup offers is unique. A look into a side of knowledge and life so often overlooked in this modern life by a serious and level headed...Read full review »

Gordon White has completely lost the plot. His conspiracist output used to be pretty easy to ignore, but in 2020 he went full bore Covid-denialist and Great Reset fear-monger. While people on Twitter seem to be throwing out a lot of baseless accusations against him, he should be accountable for...Read full review »

Glad I found this one. Great for building a framework to understand deeper reality. Magic, geopolitics and permaculture? ?Muah!!!
jeframp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/20
I happened across the podcast by pure chance. What a find!!! Love it.
Toyfarm via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/12/20
Gordon brings intellectual and spiritual rigor that is eons ahead of the contemporary magical/metaphysical fluff we are used to. Rune Soup never fails to feed the mind and spirit!
dweller wilder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/20
I used to love this podcast. I was so looking forward to the episode on the Invisibles, but tbh, it lost my subscription with conspirituality, covid denialism, irresponsible pseudo-anarchism (telling Americans to not vote is not anarchism, it’s technically fascist enableism) and other ontological...Read full review »

Love podcasts that gives the listener something to ponder and think about. A very educational podcast and well researched. Gives the listener the motivation to find out more on the subjects discussed. Thank you for the very professional and interesting podcasts.
Ivalore via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/11/20
Gordon is so smart and eloquently articulated, with very interesting guests. So many great metaphysical anecdotes to enjoy! I love his voice, it’s like a sweet warm wizard hug.

New subscriber. Engaging content and stays focused, ty! One criticism though, not sure if this is a factor on all the episodes but on the H2 2020 Astrology episode I found the constant, sharp breathing noises incredibly distracting. It sounds like you are recording from Everest and are both...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of podcasts, but this is the only one that regularly drives me to grab a pen and start taking notes! I may not always understand the subject matter and sometimes I lose the thread, but I am often inspired by Rune Soup to explore new-to-me (often age-old) texts, concepts, and...Read full review »

I look forward to each episode. Always great guests, thought provoking conversations. 211 is probably my favorite episode so far. I love this podcast!

shame on you
ccccccccccc5c5cc5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/20
Love the show usually but was disappointed to hear anti-vaccination and anti-mask wearing conspiracy theories espoused on a recent episode
joojooo65434 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/20
This has been one of my favorite esoteric podcasts for quite some time, and I have read and enjoyed Gordons books. I even recommended it to a lot of people I know, which made me feel quite sad and foolish to hear the last episode with Joseph Farrell promoting anti-vaccine and medical conspiracy...Read full review »

Unfortunately this show has jumped the shark for me, spouting right wing conspiracy theories and seemingly defending Trump's idea to shine a bright light (the sun??) inside the body to rid it of COVID-19. Two white guys pontificating on the response to the virus from a place physically far...Read full review »

The latest ep is seriously hard to listen to due to the guest’s sniffing and deep breathing. Please take noise sensitivity into consideration!
AmyW23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/20
Having been a listener for a while, I find myself so distracted by Gordon’s deep inhales for breath. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. I hope it improves because I do enjoy the topics of discussion.

If you think you’ve got your magic game on lock and HAVEN’T devoured everything Runesoup has to offer, you are missing out. From magical tech that actually works, to guests who blow the lid off consensus reality, the Runesoup show and podcast will 100% put a spell on you in the best of ways....Read full review »

Really thought I’d found a good teacher, but your various bad takes about Coronavirus and epidemics have been a huge disappointment. You opine with maximum confidence, and it is very convincing...until I realize how much of what you say is based on conspiracy and rumor. I’m so bummed.
AustinLvr88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/20
He is so smart about so many different aspects of magic. I really respect his guests and enjoy the thought provoking conversations.
