The host is woefully out of his depth when discussing with the likes of Robert Pippin.

I often find the topics and guests interesting but as enthusiastic as the host claims to be for the subject matter, he seems to have only a cursory understanding which makes for a dialogue that fails to be any more engaging or illuminating than if the guest were merely presenting their ideas uninterrupted.

Give credit where credit is due. Mr Bonilla is clearly a racist, and uses the term “white” to cruelly label the diaspora of humans of European, Asian and Middle Eastern decent who have Caucasian features. His personal opinions are quite vile. With that said, he is willing to listen and give space to opinions which he disagrees with. This is admirable and freshening. Personally, I disagree with him, but I thought three stars were fair. I would give a five star review if he would simply state that his “opinions” are just that, opinions. Unfortunately, when having conversations with radical Liberals he agrees with - he speaks as if what they are discussing are facts, when they are simply opinions.

In our ever-shifting landscape of current events hinged by sensationalis, Converging Dialogues provides a balanced voice of reason, intellect, and critical thinking — both through its host and diverse range of guests. There aren’t many podcasts equipped with the sense of curiosity and openness as this one does, especially when dealing with such heady and often dense subject matter. Converging Dialogues eschews bias in favor of seeking and spreading knowledge, packages a wide array of topics in an accessible fashion, and asks the questions I wish more individuals with public platforms sought. This is a crucial podcast.

I’ve been listening since the early days of the podcast. Xavier Bonilla’s breadth of topics and intellectual curiosity keep me coming back for more. I can’t claim to catch each episode when it drops because I find myself listening to each conversation multiple times, so I’m a little behind. If you are looking for deep, stimulating conversation without an agenda, I highly recommend Converging Dialogues.

This is a great podcast to listen to if you’re interested in intellectual stimulation. Mr. Bonilla is great in interviewing people on a range of topics, from history to psychology to philosophy, and everything in between. The long format and Mr. Bonilla’s friendly and objective perspective is great for getting to the heart of an issue. Plus, he has a deep voice that’s pleasant to listen to for long stretches of time. Highly recommended and one of my favorite podcasts.

Xavier Bonilla is an excellent interviewer! He goes in depth with topics while keeping the conversations accessible and interesting to listeners. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, and open to other viewpoints—highly recommend!

Xavier is a great, kind, and charitable host. Excellent show!

Xavier is an unusually talented interviewer (& I speak from experience).

Keep up the great work, Xavier.

A variety of subjects discussed from philosophy to psychology to politics and more are all connected in this podcast with insightful takes. Truly pushing our minds outside of group or trendy thinking. A beautiful balance of theoretical and practical approaches that keeps my mind sharp.

I am enjoying every topic and episode. So insightful and mind gripping. Let’s bring the community together with healthy conversations. I look forward to hearing and connecting with more guests. Embracing our uniqueness and diversity.

Xavier Bonilla is off to a great start. His interviews with Ben Winegard and Bo Winegard are especially interesting.
