    Consistently Good
    Consistently thoughtful, original and interesting!
  • RobSub
    Excellent Podcast
    What a find in a wilderness of inane podcast. As a literary theory professor I have used Nietzsche but never had a full understanding on all his work. This podcast, the host, has prompted me to revisit the books of Nietzsche. Thank you for providing such a great and thorough series.
  • Sascha4real
    Soothing and informative
    The delivery and presentation of the podcast are nothing short of exceptional, showcasing a remarkable evolution across the seasons. I am drawn to this podcast not merely for its content but for the profound intellectual engagement it fosters within me. It instills a sense of erudition that I find both invigorating and transformative; I suspect it is indeed shaping my cognitive landscape in subtle yet significant ways. While the material can occasionally present challenges, it remains far more digestible than grappling with the original texts. Your voice, rich and resonant, is a delight to immerse oneself in for hours on end. I wholeheartedly encourage you to explore the realm of audiobooks; such an endeavor would undoubtedly enrich your already impressive repertoire. Thank you for your invaluable contributions to this auditory experience.
  • Panbozz
    Indispensable
    The Nietzsche Podcast is the most important source of information and entertainment going. Delivered in mellifluous tones by its host; its erudition and circumspection is unsurpassed. I’d sooner give up black coffee than miss a single episode of the vital and engrossing commentary.
  • Shredded-lettuce
    So helpful!
    Thank you!
  • teachershark373737
    Great voice and content
    I love when I can’t tell if the host is reading from prepared work or ad libbing. You can tell this host knows his stuff, but he’s not a robot. I’ve accidentally found myself into episode 5 already, having just started yesterday. Not a fan of most philosophy pods (though I love the subject), but am a fan of this one. Reminds me of sitting in a smallish lecture hall in college 20 years ago, communing with wisdom. Bravo and encore.
  • Gary M_2112
    Consistently excellent
    The depth and breadth of this podcast is astounding. I always look forward to a new episode. I have learned so much since finding this one.
  • Crapshs
    Love
    My love for this podcast is strong!!
  • Sawds305
    Excellent
    This is an excellent podcast. The amount of work and devotion required to produce such content must be staggering, especially when you consider that it is advertisement-free.
  • Hdbdbdjdhzbsujss
    Gold mine
    This is the best thing I have ever found
  • Aeburda
    Wow
    I’m only 3 episodes in but in the ocean of podcast junk it is rare to find something so clear and well done. I look forward to many hours of understanding (and reading) Nietzsche
  • Elkenny559
    Huh?
    Dis- syfil? DisciPLE
  • Colerain15707
    Smooth
    Quiet coffee shop like atmosphere. Narrator is knowledgeable almost to the point of disbelief in the subject. A wealth of information. Intro is tasteful.
  • Ornamentation4All
    “Caesar was a bottom.”
    This 2023 Christmas episode was a treat. ✨💖👍🏻 “There are Nietzschean bakers out there.” Also, Schopenhauer didn’t like anyone, so whoever wrote that he wouldn’t like you is a boob.
  • Neacus
    Look elsewhere
    A very liberal and jewish perspective on Nietzsche's work. This is a great place to hear the opinions of the modern academic orthodoxy of open borders. This guy will not even admit that different races exist.
  • waha-ishwa
    Not Very Objective
    The host idolizes/worships Nietzsche, so seldom views his writings through a critical lens and is dismissive of anything remotely critical. I guess if you like 100 year old masturbatory thought experiments that separate people into higher and lower types you might find it interesting. Doesn’t really apply much to modern life.
  • Bing-1979
    Thank you!
    Excellent, thoughtful in depth analysis of the philosopher’s thoughts and life. Thank you!
  • Oswald Toynbee
    Topic Suggestion
    Have you ever came across The Meaning of Militia: Understanding and Appreciating the Sociocultural Significance of Militia Systems by Sacco Vandal? I’d love to hear you discuss that one or try to get the author on to talk about it. Great book that touches on a lot of the same concepts in this episode and a lot of your other episodes, think it would be a great discussion.
  • Viviennemagdalen
    Articulate, measured, seems to admire and accurately present Nietzsche
    I find this podcast very soothing. I’m obsessed with Nietzsche and have been for 20 years. I rarely if ever hear any commentary on Nietzsche’s work that displays an accurate understanding of the philosopher. This dude understands Nietzsche well and presents him fairly. The host is articulate and I feel very relaxed when I listen to him because he does not confront me with obnoxious ignorance, scholastic pretension, or inaccurate, incendiary, moralized representations of the subject matter. He is obviously knowledgeable about Nietzsche’s work as well as work of those thinkers that influenced Nietzsche and were influenced by him. Very good podcast! Definitely worth a listen and pretty rewarding if your intellect is a bit sharper and more far-ranging then the morally perverted drivel that seems to constitute most allegedly “scientific” and “academic” discourse these days.
  • Merlin Circle
    High caliber, highly recommended
    Very cool podcast. Depth of knowledge and focus of subject matter are of super fine quality, and not for nothin’—the guy’s voice is A++
  • FourMann 25 xx76 swag maater
    Wonderful!
    Almost every episode I learn something incredibly interesting about myself or the world of ideas. Understanding Nietzsche a bit more than I used to, his philosophy as written by himself and explained in this podcast is strikingly coherent and empowering. The host is a wonderful soeaker. Some episodes are a bit drag and boring but the ones that resonate have a ton of meaningful ideas packed in a short time. I love this!!!
  • DocCapps
    High Quality
    The host is quite knowledgeable and presents in an engaging manner. His interpretations of complex concepts are well reasoned and explained. Even on the few interpretations with which I disagree with the host, I understand and respect his take.
  • LOTR2023
    Most in depth Nietzsche Media I know of
    I started learning about Nietzsche around eight months ago, and this podcast has made the journey much more exhilarating than it would have been otherwise, and I love the creator’s receptiveness through the r/Nietzsche subreddit page! My favorite part of the week is when a new episode comes out!
