Peter, thank you for all your preparation and provocative sessions. Please consider sometimes permitting your guest to finish his or her sentence. Often you spoke for five or more sentences, then interrupted during your guest’s first or second sentence.

What vibrant, thoughtful, discerning voices from three cultural icons who are able to both recall their pasts and speak truth to the present. . . . And now I know how a man named John Wesley Rice Jr. ended up as a Presbyterian rather than a Methodist minister. Godspeed to them all.

Thank You Peter Robinson and the venerable Hoover institution for being from the last bastions of intelligence.

Joe Biden is not a Baby Boomer, but rather a member of the Silent Generation. Often people accuse older people in positions of power of being boomers and complain, but their examples are not actually boomers but the generation before. I agree that the older half of the boomer generation should be retired and the second half should be considering retirement. I do believe that there is an attempt to make the term boomer into a pejorative. The category called the boomer generation spans more years and named due to an increase in the birth rate. Naturally there will be more people in that category to be activity involved in positions of power. Joe Biden and Donald Trump are not bad because of their birth date and how they are categorized. They are both bad because they both have serious flaws. I have never voted for Trump, don’t believe that he should ever be president, but he is a far choice than Biden is by a very large margin.

Peter Robinson, never fails to bring the most entertaining guests to Uncommon Knowledge. No matter what the subject is (or how fringe it becomes ), he never fails to leave me wanting more.

The topic is exceptional, the delivery was frustrating w/ both guests talking over each other & occasionally all 3 talking over each other. Peter, it is sometimes the case that the moderator has to moderate & control the discussion rather than be an engaged listenee.

Stimulating. Next best thing to reading a book! Don't stop putting these out! PR well prepares for interviews unlike most.

Love Victor’s story and words of wisdom

I’ve gleaned so much from this man. Great scholar and great American!

Thank you for hosting him, what a wonderful opportunity to hear from Thomas Sowell! I wish him all the best and will be getting his latest book.

The one voice of common sense, logical trends and human dignity—I could listen to him forever exploding the harmful trends and traps we humans get caught up in. Thank you Peter Robinson for this interview.

Dr. Sowell is a national treasure. I’m always amazed by his ability to recall facts and trends and his uncanny nuanced understanding of their implications.

UK, I really appreciate hearing the perspectives of your guests. They are informative and thought provoking. Thank you.

Now that’s science I can follow! I’m listening to the audio book now and have order a hard copy. Unsettled is spot on. Does anyone have Al Gore’s address? I’d like to send him a copy. Many thanks Peter Robinson for introducing us to so many wonderful scientific minds.

I’m so thankful this pod cast exists.

World power was so well described we should be able to hear more from him. Thank you. In the 5 more questions for Stephen Kotkin, I found extremely disappointing at 14:30 in the interview that events leading up to war where totally ignored or purposely left out.

Stephen Kotkin is an historian and a great biographer. Why is he talking about the peace deal in Ukraine? He can talk about Russian history, sure. But munitions and future defense pacts? A bit absurd and Peter didn’t challenge any points.

This podcast has refreshed my love and understanding of all things involving history and politics! I appreciate the truth in each episode and love that Peter and his guests are so articulate in their discussions and studies. As a conservative, it’s hard to find a good podcast with no hidden agenda!! I truly appreciate their point of view on each topic and love how easy matured the host is! Discovered this podcast today and am on my 6th episode already. 10/10

Great podcast! Everyone should listen and understand where this great country is headed. Peter is a wonderful interviewer with some of the most intriguing and knowledgeable guests available!

The best interviewer of all time. My favorite podcast. Thanks for the great work.

Always enjoy Peter Robinson’s interviews.

Peter Robinson is the best interviewer in the game, he should be on PBS!! Every interview is such a great learning experience!!

I live with a conservative and am forced to try to expand my views. I have tried to listen to the shows, thinking that they might allow those with opposing views and equal intellectual accomplishment an occasional opportunity to present their views. Thus far I have never seen such an effort. I can see the logic and the arguments of the right. I want to understand them though I might not agree. The intellectual capacities of the hosts are wasted on self congratulation of conservatives and the arrogant presumption that their arguments are correct simply because they are conservative without any presentation of opposing viewpoints. Lots of intellectual horsepower is wasted here. I wish this show had more depth.

Stephen Kotkin is just amazing, articulate, and speaks the truth. Thank God he is an American.

The podcast with guests Tom Holland, Stephen Meyer, and Douglas Murray was excellent and provided a conversation most do not get to hear. It was one of Robinson‘s best. Then, I listened to his conversation with the inestimable John Lennox, Michael Behe , and Stephen Meyer. I had to listen to it twice. These people are so interesting and their ideas transcend the current intellectual box all of us were raised up in, Scientific materialism. As a trained geologist, I never questioned Darwinian evolution, but over time I kept running up against the wall that is described perfectly by these gentlemen. Thank you for bringing them together. I hope more people open up their minds.

Listen to the episode with Behe et. al. on intelligent design if you haven’t hit your monthly quota of strokes.

The name says it all.

Murray, Holland, and Myers. What a coup! Brilliant and surpsrising conversation. Thank you, Peter.

Thank you for bringing clarity to the economic bounty I lived through 1980-1990 The 4 points that can bring standard of living back toUSA. Gives me hope . Gif Bless BAM

Great content with thoughtful insights. Unfortunately some of the shows are recorded at such a low level that they are almost “unlistenable” if the listener has any ambient background noise. I follow several podcasts and this is the only one with this problem. The content is too good and too deserving - please increase the recording volume.

Peter Robinson is truly a delight as an interviewer and host of this podcast. He is soo well informed about each subject. You can feel and see his constant efforts to gently direct the guest by asking questions so obviously thoughtful and extremely pertinent to each topic. He never interferes with the responses of the guest but rather expands the topic when needed. I am constantly in awe of his grasp of each topic.

This was another great program by Peter Robinson. It impressed me greatly that he had read Laudato Si and not missed Pope Francis’ denunciation of air conditioning. Bjorn Lomborg gave Francis the benefit of the doubt concerning good intentions gone awry, quite fair, but perhaps Francis’ negative view of air conditioning concerned the costly and inefficient use of A.C. in stadia and other fora, for example, at the Qatar World Cup venues. Perhaps. 4 of 5 leaves room for improvement.

Great place to go to be informed on conservative intellectual issues - it has helped direct my book purchases.

Excellent interviews with great thinkers. The interviewer somehow equates being a sycophant with showing respect, but other than that he asks great questions.

Peter is a remarkable interviewer. His depth of knowledge about each guest and their topic keeps me engaged and wanting to know more.

The interviewer’s skill is so key to making a good interview, Peter is a master. These author interviews and the ones John Batchelor does are head and shoulders above anything else available these days.

Loved this; plan to read his book now! His no-nonsense, balanced judgements helped change my mind about a few things, especially about Trump running in 2024; I have supported Trump in past (while despising his pettiness at times) and will support him again if need be, but Barr makes really sound case for why that will probably not be what is in Americas best interest. He has actually restored some of my faith in at least the DOJ. Thank you Mr Barr for being loyal to our constitution verses a political party/or person. We need more like you!

Peter Robinson is among the best interviewers I have ever heard. He asks probing, incisive questions, and gives the person being interviewed ample, uninterrupted time to answer the questions

Just read his book and greatly enjoyed the interview. We need a lot more people like him in government. Serious people who can relate to all of us. People with integrity who know and respect the law and our federalist system. His points about Trump are correct . Trump did a good job, but he is not the only be to win big in 2024 and right the ship going forward.

This visits with Thomas Sowell are the best

So happy to have regular doses of the great Hoover Institution and supporters, one of the few remaining bastions of pro American, mostly optimistic and forward looking policy development centers in US higher education. Thank you Mr Robinson for bringing this resource to the public at large!

Ish he was my uncle.

The more episodes that I view or hear, the more I admire and respect Peter Robinson. Of course, most of the guests are interesting and informative but I gradually came to realize that Mr. Robinson added as much to the dialogue as did the guests. The program would not be where it is without him.

I am a center right conservative and very much value Mr. Robinson's interviews on this podcast. I've heard some on the Right suggest that America is in historic decline (the Left seems to have decided our decline is inevitable &, even, deserved) while others insist that America has historically reinvented itself & become stronger throughout our history & in response to existential crisis. Which is it? I think it's critical for an intelligent & serious show such as Uncommon Knowledge to host a conversation that explores 21st Century America: A Nation in Decline or A Nation ???

The woke movement has joined forces with the corporatists money, the neo marxist critical theorists who concurred all of the Ivy league and elite left academy. It is the existential threat of the short Nazi empire and the longer lived Soviet communist empire and now the Chinese communist empire all rolled into one. It is the stalking killer of Judaeo Christian western civilization and will lead us to nuclear war with the other totalitarian civilizations just like Orwells visionary 1984 but Orwell had no idea of nuclear weapons when he wrote his novel in the 1930s. Their is good news for those with ears to hear and a willingness to be humbled. Not by kissing woksters feet and endlessly prostrating themselves for the sins of long passed ancestors but by embracing a Jewish carpenters message and self sacrifice for even the people who murdered him. When he returns the forgiveness ends in the midst of nuclear annihilation and those dedicated to evil will be delt with once and for all. Amen

He doesn’t seem interested in letting his guests actually answer his questions. They’ll get half a sentence into a response and he’ll cut them off to answer his own question. It’s so bad it would actually be kind of hilarious if he was doing it on purpose. But he isn’t, and so it is just irritating.

Always interested in the show, important and fascinating topics and guests. Stephen Kotkin episodes are so timely, gave us historical analysis and perspectives. Needed this kind of clear thoughts in the current global situation.

Wonderful and entertaining discussion of tough, important legal issues. Thank you!

Just listened to “Judging the Justices”. Right up there as one of the best episodes. “Takings” is available on Amazon. But I can’t find Richard Epstein’s bobble head. When will they be available?!

Fascinating discussion with Andrew Roberts. I love that Peter asks the questions the average listener is thinking of!
