That was really good. I don’t believe in degrading other people to the right, but when I listened to Spencer’s podcasts, I noticed the quality was very dependent on who was the guest, and I would usually remember only the guest talking. But with Greg, his solo casts are equally as good as the podcasts with guests…sometimes better!
Absolutely. This is my personal favorite format.
Yes, and when Greg Johnson does have guests on, he lets them speak. He is very respectful and doesn’t interrupt or argue just to show off or one-up them. He lets the guests have the mic to speak and he also lets them have time to respond.
Kind of rare in the wider world of podcasts.
After the first few uncertain months, my attitude toward the China virus phenomenon has been based on consistent statistics in North America:
99+% of those who become ill with it survive.
75+% of those who die with it are elderly and have pre-existing morbidities.
99.75% of the population has not died of it.
I think this format wastes some of Greg Johnson’s strength. He has the best turn-taking conversational skills you could ask for. When he asks a guest a question, it’s so that he and we can hear the answer, and he does not interrupt till his guest has given their full thought. If they need some time to make a thoughtful reply, not a glib reply, they get it. If they have nothing to say on that topic, Greg Johnson, moves on.
That’s a pleasant way for a host to behave. Joe Rogan has made himself a star, in part because he invites interesting people to talk with him, and he lets them spell out their ideas.
So guests are good, especially with this host.
That said, this podcast was brilliant from the point of view of learning about practical pro-White meta-politics. What does it take to keep the good ship White Survival moving in the right direction? What if anything can be done about the secondary issues that keep adhering to it, like barnacles? What sorts of motives help one to be serious about the survival of the White race, and what sorts of motives conflict with the right sort of seriousness? What if anything should be done to woo the youth? Should we “pile on” when anti-White groups like the ADL do things like changing their definition of “racism” to make it explicitly anti-White, or is it better to “carry on regardless”? If you want answers to questions like those (and we should all want answers to questions like those), this is two hours well spent.
Greg is arguably the most brilliant mind in “the movement”. It’s hard to imagine how two hours of his uninterrupted opining “wastes some of his strength”. If anything, it amplifies it since he is not having to give as much attention to a guest.
That said, you’re right: he’s an adroit interviewer, and for the reasons you’ve listed.
Not that there is anything wrong with the programs featuring guests, but I like the monolog format. It is very information dense, and usually more interesting than most guests, particularly the frequent fliers. Of course, it is not easy generating fresh content repeatedly, but Greg’s musings are always insightful.

Thank you for mentioning the last chapter of The Silmarillion. I now have an added incentive to finish it (or at least to read “Rings of Power and the Third Age.”
That was blasphemous. I think the silmarillion is better than Lotr, and must be read to grasp the full depth of lotr. The tale of Eol the dark elf is one of my favorites. Highly original, it sort of contributes to the “great conversation” regarding dickens’s Old Curiosity Shop. See if you get it!
I’ll have to pay attention — thank you.
It’s almost like an epic poem, and while I enjoy many such stories, I can only read them in small-ish “chunks” at a time.

You’re not alone, Kathryn. I love Tolkien, but I was somewhat disconcerted at first when I read The Lord of the Rings and found that it went back and forth between a down-to-earth style with a lot of humor, when dealing with hobbits as I recall, and a sort of high, stylized manner, sometimes when describing men or elves. The Silmarillion seems very much like the latter, although I haven’t finished it. LOTR was terrific when I got used to this quality, and I look forward very much to reading it again, but since I had read The Hobbit first, it was unexpected. I hadn’t read any other commenters mentioning this quality.
Many, many years ago when I read The Hobbit for the first time, I was also reading it aloud to my younger sister; we both fell in love with it at the same time. Even though Hobbit is somewhat different in tone and style to LOTR and Silmarillion, they all share a lilting quality that seems meant to be voiced, as if they were The Song of Roland or The Odyssey. It may just be me, but I’ve found Tolkien’s work to be much more enjoyable when it’s read aloud, like a poem.
