    New content needs improvement
    I’ve really enjoyed the earlier episodes of this podcast. However, recent episodes seem to feature guests who subtly undermine women. I miss the focus on health and business content. Please bring back those valuable topics.

    This was literally the best episode of any podcast that I have listened to maybe ever. Thank you Ana! A willingness to hear opinions that may differ from yours is so key. In recent years this has not been my experience. I have learned to keep my mouth shut! You can’t even ask questions without eye rolling and disgusts on both sides! So much appreciate this discussion. Thank you!!

    Better than Rogan
    Best Podcast out there for men. Very informative and entertaining
  • @nick_brfc
    Pretentious?
    I like this podcast because Chris usually asks really good questions and I like some of the guests. But Chris needs to chill with the long winded interjections where he is emphasizing or reiterating points.
  • HalfmanHalfIron
    Exactly what the world needs
    Chris is definitely the voice of the modern man. Amen brotha.
  • rdcu8mbdt
    Good guests but
    The host doesn’t know when to shut up and let his guests. — more entertaining than the host — talk.
  • Kai_hood1
    Great information!
    Great guests, great value, content, and information within such a well run show. Hope my podcast can do the same thing as this one!!!! Love Chris and this show.

    Favorite Podcast
    I’d have a hard time choosing a better interviewer than Chris Williamson. He asks the best questions, plus he’s deep, kind, and funny. Also we seem to be reading the same books at about the same time. I’m not a dude but even the male-oriented topics he covers are interesting.

    Great content, not many ads, and so simple to follow. Life changing content!
  • Jsheb7
    Huge Fan
    There are SO many podcasts out there that I often find myself only listening to an episode when I’m interested in either the guest or the subject matter. But that’s not the case with Modern Wisdom. I’ve learned that regardless of my interest in the guest or topic, it’s absolutely worth a listen. I happily dive blindly into Chris’s episodes and it’s been worth it every time. I appreciate you, Chris and co. Keep it up! 🙏🏼
  • Investissuese
    Ben Shapiro interview
    Rarely do I get to hear good followed up by long form answers. Shapiro is a brilliant guy and Chris just let him talk fairly germane questions.
  • I don't need anything
    Great guests
    But I struggle to listen because the host is possibly even more boring than Lex Friedman
  • Anti Communist Geezer

    Great long form interviews. Great interviewer.

    Has The best guests, has a lot of alpha males on the show, who are striving for greatness, the show is great for both men and women to gain greater perspective on life

    Let the interviewees speak more
    Let the experts speak more. More like Lewis Howes.

    Listening in the Zone
    I’m a Journalism school grad (please, don’t pelt me with rotten vegetables), and Chris Williamson is one of the finest practitioners of the craft. Informed, voraciously curious, well read, well prepared, willing to challenge his guests without becoming confrontational, willing to share his own perspective and experiences. Perhaps most important to me during these days of inflamed rhetoric, Chris is calm. I’ve been listening to him nonstop as I renovate my home, and his conversations make even painting a ceiling tolerable. Thanks, Chris, please keep it up!
  • Mario with Endurify
    Episodes with Hormozi are legendary.
    Convos between Chris and Hormozi are my favorite ones on the internet. Thank you!
  • @Jackblake.today
    The good kind of celebrity we should look up to.
    Such a great show. Chris is fun and a constant learner. What I wish we all tried to be a bit more of. It really matters who we look up to. Chris and his guests fit that role.

    Excellent conversation. Abortion, when does a fetus react to stimulus that would inflict pain? At that point it moves from the woman’s body rights and where the fetus has rights to be considered. Both complete ban or unrestricted are causing harm to a human life.

    Wonderful
    Love this podcast. Great guests, great convo. Thanks Chris!
  • cammy cam
    Hormozi and Rudyard Lynch in the same week?!
    I'm gagged! Seeing Rudyard Lynch AND Alex Hormozi in the same week?! This is brilliant! Chris is delivering HARD and delivering is the... Modern Wisdom to develop our minds, knowledge, bodies and life into real thriving. Super grateful for this podcast and Chris's work. highly recommend.
  • Tom Barnhill
    Dude
    If you’re going to platform conspiracy theorists, at least ask them good questions. Your interview skills are pathetic.
  • JWTS05051991
    This is a bad faith podcast.
    The interview with Tulsi Gabbard is wildly irresponsible. Chris allows Tulsi to vomit blatant falsehoods for 90 minutes, with no pushback or challenge. Tulsi sure knows a lot about the “Deep State”, but apparently doesn’t know what the coconut memes are all about and certainly doesn’t know anything about 2025! There is no wisdom here. Chris is a washed up manosphere parasite
  • JulieAnnNM
    Love this podcast
    Great episode with Tulsi Gabbard! Keep up the great work.

    Great talk
    Worth listening to again

    2020 bro ideas
    Tried this pod for a long time, sometimes has gems, but have to wade through a constant posture of reframing right-wing ideas. Very 2020. Juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
  • TX Sunrise Outdoors
    One of the best pods in the world
    Just wish timestamps were provided

    The tragic result of a sub 80 IQ attempting to be an “intellectual”…. Fairly confident this guy has Down’s syndrome.

    Emergency podcast with kennedy
    WOW if Kennedy wants to be in Trumps military he better start learning Russian, Chinese, and Korean. The languages of Trumps favorite dictators. The Justice Department and Homeland Security were trashed under the Trump administration.

    Best episode #808
    Hi Chris I listen to your podcast on regular bases but number 808 was by far the best continue doing the good work very entertaining knowledgeable.
  • shootthemoonmom
    Great variety of topics and perspectives
    As a bro science enthusiast, this is the most in depth and meaningful podcast that covers topics pertinent to society and our well being. I’m really grateful for Chris and the guests he’s brought on. Some of their ideas have legitimately changed my life for the better.
  • Jethro Tull Hyena
    Humble bragging
    The humble bragging is very patronizing. We get it, you're extremely successful!
  • B-enKIdu
    Intelligent and funny
    Chris is a dreamy Brit who interviews a wide range of guests. The interviews are usually lighthearted and fun. Give Modern Wisdom a try and you’ll subscribe.
  • Jessi Jean321
    Loving it!
    I was pretty moved by the episode with Robin Sharma. A lot of gold in that episode. Chris is a fantastic interviewer and very enjoyable to listen to. Thank you for doing good work well.
  • ronijwebb
    Happy to have found it
    New listener here and wishing I had found Chris YEARS ago I tell all my girlfriends who “don’t get into podcasts” that this one is different. Thanks for the great content
  • B-Rat 94
    Excellent
    I have heard of this podcast for a year or two now but never gave it a try. I was looking for more modern issues to dive into and this was a gold mine of a find for me. The host is amazing and very neutral/ objective on issues discussed. I also love his “current” tone and demeanor. He shows that you can cuss and express yourself more freely and still be an incredibly knowledgeable and respectable person today. I give this podcast a 5 star review for sure and recommend it to friends.

    Better options
    He’s a good host with some awesome guests. But I think it comes off as someone who really doesn’t have much education or knowledge in the topics he’s covering. Goes pretty far off the deep end in some topics which I don’t think is helpful for public knowledge and staying focused on the big important topics instead of “majoring in the minor” as Peter Attia would say
  • raybk35
    What happened at the apple orchard?
    Podcast ended mid story but otherwise great
  • N_sowers
    5 stars
    Insightful podcast with a variety of modern day hot topics. I’ve loved seeing not only the growth of the podcast but also the creator. I’ve enjoyed listening to a male perspective on these topics.

    A Friend We All Want
    Ya know those friends you have (or really wish you had) that you can bring your ideas too, the friend who thinks alongside you, sees your mind as just as interesting a place as you do? This is Chris, except he can’t actually hear you yet somehow reads your mind and produces EXCELLENT content about things you’re already thinking about, or realize you want to be thinking about. Just a great human. 11/10 would work hard to keep in my life. So far it’s been as easy as a ‘+’
  • Rememberist
    I’m grateful for Modern Wisdom
    The recent interview with Josh Szeps was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. Kudos to the both of you.

    Long time listener. You are now Bud Light. I’m out!
  • evanseesred
    PLEASE release an audio only feed.
    For us living in places with less than optimal service, I can’t tell you how glitchy this thing is EVEN when trying to just listen to the audio and keeping my phone locked with the screen off. Please, make an audio only feed!
  • JessBurch
    Highly recommend
    A captivating podcast that entertains, challenges your perspective, and nourishes your spirit.
