    Amazing 9 part series: Not All Propaganda is Art
    We’re so fortunate Mr. Walker created NAPA episodes while some contemporary sources are still alive. Meticulously researched and presented. I will be reading Richard Wright as a consequence. Thank you Benjamin!

    Fantastic
    Continues to be the most interesting and enjoyable podcast in my feed.

    I’ve been hooked since day one.
    I just realized I’ve been listening since 2012, back in the Too Much Information days. My favorite episode that I revisit every so often is “recent, relevant, random”. I love this podcast because scratches a specific itch for my neurotic and curious brain. I have yet to meet another person to recommend this podcast to me, but I have been recommending it for years and it seems like friends are finally catching on and digging it. IDK if I’m glad people are finally getting where I’m coming from, or if I’m worried that we’re increasingly anxious. Anyways here’s to almost 12 years of listening! Thank you to Benjamen and everyone else who works on the show!

    Come Up for Air
    3 Stars How come the host ALWAYS sounds so astonished and horny? No matter what he’s talking about it’s like he’s saying it while he’s losing his virginity. Unnerving. Im trying to withhold judgment though cuz I can’t tell if it’s a seriously annoying affectation or if he’s got a vocal chord disease. All in all his staccato cadence is enough to make me wanna just read the transcript instead. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Works!
    New listener and thoroughly enjoying the topics. Plus, Benjamin is one of a very few hosts whose voice is easy to listen to and wraps you in. I’m in.
  • jstce_now
    One of the very best!!!
    Thank you Benjamen Walker!
  • Nicksings
    Waaay too far left for me
    Came for the in-depth discussions of interesting topics, left because it’s nothing but politics. Disappointing.
  • Foliageway
    A wild ride
    A desert full of mirages and oases, except you look forward to both.

    Novel!
    Weird in all the right ways
  • TyleDurden
    Sorry
    One of the best podcasts ever, I donated every year to their fundraiser, then out of the blue I am required to pay a $5/month subscription to listen. I’ve listened to every episode and never once was notified this would be coming. I love Benjamin, hate to do this to such an awesome podcaster. Guess you lost a listener and supporter.
  • Trixie_53202
    Has become incredibly cynical
    Just listened to “The Return” and basically everyone Ben knows has decided to become anti social jerks who want to no longer participate in society
  • autumn trillium
    good alternative to twitter
    i have been listening to TOE for 8 (?) years and have re-listened to each episode at least 3 times. benjamen will keep you on your toes.
  • sjjdnehdi
    Great
    There are very few podcasts that warrant repeated listens and fewer still that warrant lingering thought. This does. The deep dives, the interwoven fiction and topics covering several episodes are simply stunning. Keep up the good work.
  • CWH50
    TDS every episode.
    “Its all Tump’s fault”.

    Hypnotic
    Entertains, thought provoking, poignant.

    Go outside, read a book, don't waste you time
    I tried this podcast because of several recommendations from other podcasts that Ooo’d and Ahh’d about it. I listened and gave it a number of chances and it never failed to disappoint. The self-absorbed, often incoherent, “woke” ramblings are played off as thought provoking, enlightened and sophisticated. A woman with a heavy French accent is the announcer for an added level of sophistication. It quickly becomes pretentious and whiney with a flair for the dystopian. The storylines, even those “currently relevant”, follow the mainstream, are safe, predictable and boring.

    Eh....it’s okay
    I went to this podcast on a recommendation from the guys at the West Wing weekly podcast. It was an interesting subject matter, but I was put off consistently by the mispronunciation of nuclear as nuc-ular. Hard to take this seriously.

    Someone who does not take himself too seriously
    And has a lot of fun
  • nnn-gonzalez
    Crazy good
    This show is crazy in an amazing way. There is such little content being put out that is interesting, engaging, and that forces you to think differently about current events that this is a breath of fresh air. Keep it up, dude!
  • jd2020
    Very creative content, takes a hard turn to the left
    Quite different from the “usual” podcasts. Benjamin Walker has an amazingly creative mind. I don’t think every show works, at least not for me. Unfortunately, not crazy with the more and more extreme direction of the podcast.
  • Nickname ZZX
    Benjamen Walker is great!
    Benjamen's is a unique voice. Check out the old "Your Radio Nightlight" episodes from long ago, if you can find them.
  • Misha@44
    Unoriginal & boring.
    After listening to few episodes realized it’s same America bashing crap as mainstream news.
  • Tdhow11
    One episode
    That’s all it took. He was offended because someone put up a flag. He is misinformed and uneducated. He compared the flag to Nazi Germany because he was reading from a Jewish author...seriously. He claimed he is not anti-flag or pro-flag, while in the same breath taking offense to someone hanging a flag. Obviously, there is an agenda in this podcast. Don’t waste your time.
  • Albert Cipriani
    Sublime Mishmash of Fantasy-News...
    ... For example: Read all the one-star reviews of this podcast. Then you too will be in possession of the same list of undesirables that Mr. Benjamin Walker has created this website to ensnare. These one-starers, from the so-called “people” who leave one-star reviews of Mr. Walker’s artistry are enemies of the people. This list of un-evolved cretins will eventually be remanded over to the NSA for special processing at a FEMA center near you. Amen, Albert Cipriani
  • Listener4life
    Perfect
    It’s just so good. Everything I want from art . Really perfect : the subtle art of the sublime absurd daily performance of our world.
  • PeterOliphant
    An exploration of political mixed reality
    This is a difficult podcast to sumarize, and that is one of the reasons I love it. It is an incredible exploration of how ideas, stories, and conspiracies exist through mixing them, and creating them, and acting as if they are real.
  • ATRepair
    Unpleasant and not entertaining.
    Difficult to relate to the sentiments of the stories. Unpleasant narration style.
  • Toabester
    Brilliantly observed
    Walker is a unique voice. It’s not all fact, but it’s all true. The world is a weird place.

    Oh please...you ever hear of “unfriend?” What a whiner...ugh. Count me O.U.T.
  • Hapgood Flight
    Retrospection
    Has there been any thought to readdressing so of the presumptions made in this podcast? This week 12-13-19 many things that were once believed to be fact have been turned on their head. From the impeachment’s articles that list no crimes, the Inspector General report debunking several assumptions made by the people who cover the news and the vote in the UK are all examples of what we once believed to be true (quite indignantly) turning out to be false.

    It’s as if this show was made for me
    It’s as though you were in my head and looked deeply into the exact same things that I’m interested in: 1984, Russia, disinformation, coffee, travel, and Charlie Maynes (a friend), with the same curiosity and humor that I have.
  • TokyoSara
    Brilliant
    Words can barely describe the wonder of Benjamin Walker and The Theory of Everything. Clever, funny, poignant, insightful, deep - only a few of the adjectives that can be applied. May you go far, Mr. Walker.

    I was guided. And it reassured me: Keep this subscription.

    Time to get a real job
    If you enjoy the disjointed ramblings of an autistic narcissist. You be completely enchanted with this podcast. If you don’t. Run away, run far far away.
  • DaveandJoyce
    Wow!
    I was shocked that Benjamin is so assured of the hatred and prejudice of his listeners that he told them that he wanted to give the evil eye to a person for wearing a “make America great again” hat; and that he planned to shout the f word at the wearer and call him a coward. Furthermore his deep state episode had nothing in it about any deep state, not even the deep state of the Russia person of whom he made the subject of the episode. Wow, content-free.
  • Phloyd500
    More please?
    I like this podcast a lot but it only produces one episode a month (maybe it’s a glitch and I’m not getting all of them?)? That’s pretty lame. No offense, it’s not THAT good. SYSK does 2 per week and they are all at least as good if not better than any of these.
  • buckybucbuc
    Not good
    Mouth piece of Al-Qaeda. Bad for America.

    Child of the Daily + Joe Frank
    It’s The Daily + Joe Frank. It’s good. If you like TOE. You will also like The Daily and Joe Frank.
  • Laughingdogvt
    Failure... NOT!
    This podcast, with its mix of truth and fiction, leaves me with questions, questions that are intriguing enough to try to answer on my own. Keep on keeping on ToE crew!

    Wicked!
    Benjamin challenges you to think outside the box within the box and even the next more hidden box within. Now I keep searching and stepping back to consider if I will ever be outside of all boxes 🧐
  • Capo8amax
    Wait what?
    Had this on my list of podcasts to check out for a while and was severely disappointed. Takes listener through seemingly legitimate analysis only to conclude vaguely with an “I guess it was just me.” If you’re going to argue something or prevent evidence on an interesting topic then make a stand. Don’t just waste the listener’s time with your ramblings.
  • Amigps
    Waste of time
    The content of the podcast is entertaining sometimes. Other times it’s confusing and doesn’t make any sense. Add to that the fact that apparently the podcast throws in stories that are complete lies and you get a mess. I don’t have the time to figure out what is truth or what is lie in a podcast. I don’t want to be fed lies that are passed off as truth so that the creator can do some idiotic exploration of podcasting space. What’s the use of telling fake stories and trying to pass them off as truth? Finally, the guys voice is annoying. Sorry guy, it just is. Maybe you should spend more time looking up interesting stories and leave the actual hosting of the podcast to a person with a more pleasing voice.
  • Wes14357
    This show has swiftly gone downhill...
    The content is getting worse. I used to find this show thought provoking and interesting because the content had real substance and the conclusions Benjamin made appeared to be reached from investigation rather than predisposed political bias. It’s seems Benjamin’s new method is to let his political views drive and then manipulate sound bites to tell his story. It’s not compelling. It’s not good content. And now my watch has ended!
  • dmjd45
    Fantastic
    I don’t even know quite how to describe the show other than to say that it’s a wonderful journey into numerous subject matters and ingeniously delves into satire as well

    Bad Recommendations
    I was deeply disturbed by your narrow views on Jordan Peterson. As least you somewhat cleaned up the mess you made at the end. Mr. Peterson is not responsible for the YouTube recommendations attached to his podcasts. His thoughts on the pervasive culture of hyper political correctness is right on. The viral moral outrage and the platforms that contribute to it only add to the toxicity of our dialogue.
  • Benuathanasia
    Meh
    Benjamen’s voice is annoying, he sprinkles fake stories in with the real ones, and if I have to hear his wife’s voice one more time, someone will die. Unsubbed.
  • jtmcftp
    Mindless drivel
    Cannot even be considered entertainment, let alone thought-provoking.
  • BjornssonUlfric
    Meh
    Clear biases visible through mocking rather than making strong arguments.
