DarkHorse Podcast

On The DarkHorse Podcast, we will explore questions that matter, with tools that work. Weekly episodes of "The Evolutionary Lens" are co-hosted with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, in which we use an evolutionary toolkit to reveal patterns in nature--including human nature. Guest episodes feature Bret hosting long form discussions. Some guests are well known, others obscure, but all are chosen because they have demonstrated unusual insight. The state and future of civilization will be a recurring theme, so buckle up!

    Apple will no longer let me listen
    For the past several months every episode says “temp unavailable try later” this has been happening since early this year

    Grateful
    Appreciate you two more than I could ever express

    We’re Beating The WHO
    Thank you for your efforts to fight the WHO and drag their tyrannical agenda out of the dark. Very few are talking about this dangerous issue. Love you guys…keep up the good work. Grateful for you!

    Analyzing the Global Controligarchs
    I cannot download from a VPN for some reason. I have the same problem when I try to listen to The Rubin Report. An IP address is used to personally identify internet users. Then why can’t I listen to this podcast anonymously like every other podcast?

    Wow supper smart and balanced in thinking
    I am one that leans towards ID, but highly respect Darwin’s contribution to science. I think six day creation is an embarrassment to Christianity. If I was shown the mathematics behind macro evolution, I would convert. As an aerospace engineer, I understand that science does not follow a linear path (ie, micro truth does not prove macro theory). Hence, I don’t see macro evolution as a plausible explanation. Thanks for making me a better thinker. You both bring critical thinking to the next level.

    Great show
    The show description that explains they will “explore questions that matter, with tools that work” is perfectly expressed. Great discussions connecting science, current events and public policy. Bret and Heather are smart and fun, easy to listen to, and some of the most truly courageous individuals in the public eye.
  • ithinkyannimaybetrans
    So informative
    Awesome to hear scientific evidence about things going on in our crazy world!!
  • bose 901
    A big thanks
    Thank you all for your efforts.
  • denversj
    Great information
    Appreciate all you do
  • Jenn G in NC
    Thank you
    One of our greatest resources for learning are stories from generations past. I am so grateful you also recognize the value of living history & chose to interview Martin. I get a lot from your show, but of all your podcasts, that was my favorite. My only criticism is that Heather wasn't in on it too. It is amazing you two crossed paths, especially at a time such as this. Thank you Jenn G in NC

    Embracing the the angry
    First I think they are great when discussing science. In fact this is why continue listening to their podcast. But I get the impression that they feel so battered by what happened to them professionally that they are moving closer to ideology that is far to extreme and to some in this country who could care less about facts.
  • DFinMA
    The best
    Heather and Bret consistently provide the best discussions on many relevant topics. They are the best.
  • Sabot6
    Interesting Info Poor Execution
    You guys have good content but it’s painful to listen to. Too much interrupting each other, too many bunny trails off the main topic and too much beating around the bush instead of getting to the point. It’s not a conversation between you two but from you two to us. Please get more crisp and to the point.
  • Dan Dodbbeling
    Great show!!!
    I would have loved to have had the experience of having either or both of them for even just one college course. That said, I feel like I’m improved in one way or another after listening to each episode. Our vulture is in dire need of more people like Heather and Bret.
  • fkha-3
    Worth a listen nothing else like this
    The ant story was crazy cool. I have always loved science
  • ritecon
    Speed it up.
    Good gosh. First time listening and I’m 10 minutes in of my valuable time and you have talked of nothing but chatter and commercials.
  • Suzysammy
    Intelligent and Fascinating
    The topics and discussion make this one of the most interesting podcasts around. Their discussions are interesting and in-depth. I always learn something new. Their delivery is comfortable and relaxing - like hanging out with a couple of a friends, who just happen to be incredibly smart. I’m glad they’ve invited us to their conversations.
  • killkorine
    Comprehensive and lucid
    I enjoy this podcast and the hosts introduced me to Disaffected with Joshua Slocum, which is also very good. My one complaint is the irony of Weinstein and Heying talking about the dissemination of misinformation and then shilling for Moink and other companies claiming to offer “humane” meat. There is no such thing as humane meat and two biologists should know better! Aside from this annoyance, this is is a very enjoyable pod.
  • NikkiPogo
    Science, humor, and critical thinking a rare bird.
    Thanks for Doug this podcast guys you are truly a breath of fresh air with your perspective and approach on sore subjects. I really appreciate the hidden gems of humor in each episode that reminds me that you are the good guys.
  • Centrist in Flyover
    Follow the Science
    Thank you for sincerely following the science, admitting when you are wrong, and leading by example in parenting and marriage.
  • rightisrightpeople!
    Great show!
    Smart, in-depth, and funny commentary on interesting topics and news of the day.
  • struggling to hear
    Turn up the audio levels!
    Turn it up!!!!
  • I'm reviewing the situation
    Every podcast worth a second listen
    One of the few podcasts I slow down to regular speed and a occasionally take notes.
  • Unwoke anti-zionist
    Gaza genocide
    Hi I'm wondering if you're planning on doing a show about Israel's genocide in Gaza and their heinous, evil war crimes. Iilan Pappe says that their brutal military regime is in its last stages. Have you thought about interviewing someone like Ronnie Barkan, Gideon Levy, Dan Cohen, Miko Peled, David Sheen, Max Blumenthal or Ilan Pappe to talk about the sickness that is Zionism? Over 7,000 children murdered so far by the IOF. Paid for by US tax dollars. Endless shame on humanity.
  • Kjindigo
    5 stars for the episodes without Heather
    I love the episodes in which Bret is allowed to complete a sentence without Heather hijacking the entire conversation due to one word he uses instead of another, which most of us would consider a synonym. The guests he interviews seem to be able to have a conversation, whereas the cohost, Heather, has no ability to infer meaning to keep the conversation rolling. Honestly she stresses me out and I don’t even have to try to converse with her or near her.
  • Quite Trippy
    The first intellectuals I can tolerate.
    I love this show. Brett and Heather have such a wonderful and respectful relationship. Both of their voices are so smooth, I often fall asleep to them and must listen to each show twice. In a world full of credentialism, I find that those who insist we call them Dr. are the ones we are finding we can trust the least. Dark Horse is the exception. Instead of using their education to gain power and money, Heather and Brett are fighting for truth.

    The One Podcast I Always Play
    Informative discussions of very complex issues. Generally covers multiple viewpoints including logical explanations of who/what/where/when & why.
  • Boma's biggest fan
    Hits the spot!
    Love the variety of topics- from food and holiday traditions to the love of nature, but human and nonhuman to policital nonsense to lies of biolog. Have immense respect for the role you are filling and love hearing points of view that are new to me! Thank you for your offering!

    My husband introduced me to Bret and Heather Weinstein quite sometime ago. I make an effort to listen to their podcast every week. I have learned more from Bret and Heather than any other podcast available. The topics they discuss are relevant to all Americans. They do their due diligence; they are very well spoken; and have pleasant interchange with interchanges even they disagree with each other.
  • cms729
    Excellent
    Love them! Great take on things. Highly recommend

    From a conservative
    I first heard Bret on The Ben Shapiro Show. In the past I have always been immediately on the defensive, when hearing anything from any liberal however, in the wake of the pandemic, and after the shocking results of the 2016 election, I had a strong desire to better educate myself on current events and matters of the political and especially interested in hearing what people who may disagree with me, politically had to say about current events and happenings within today’s world. I began listening to the Dark Horse Podcast after hearing Bret on Ben’s show. I found myself agreeing with him on just about every position that he and Heather take. This, of course, was a giant shock to me as I consider myself an ultra-conservative. I have found Brett and Heather to not only be patriots of this great nation, but they show care and concern for humanity regardless of which side of the political aisle you fall. Today I am a devoted and loyal listener of the show, and while I do not agree with them 100% of the time, I have found through listening to their podcast that there may be hope for us. Yes, I am still a conservative, yes, we can come together and still disagree and YES! there is hope... Thank you!

    Old school
    I love Bret and Heather. They have such a normal point of view. Where questioning and skepticism and doubting is the normal no matter who says what. They inspire critical thinking skills for us all.
  • ObjectivismIsNotPhilosopy
    Dangerously Stupid - This podcast kills people
    People have literally died because of the misinformation on vaccines and Ivermectin spread by this podcast. Apple needs to remove it. Call Bret what you will - Chaos Agent, Peter Thiel’s Puppet, Sociopath, Mossad agent. What is absolutely clear is the man has an unwell mind and he wants to influence yours. Run.
  • Glowy Moon
    Amazing Conversations
    Very open minded, scientific, factual topics discussed. I learn so much from listening to this podcast. They both are so cool 😎
  • Strider Storm
    It’s the why not the what
    Love you guys but things have seemed to become moralized and bogged down in the material rather than deep exploration of the evolutionary WHY…. which I believe is more interesting.
  • Betty T Wilson
    I can’t hear you.
    Why are you whispering!?! I love your cast but gosh it’s REALLY QUIET. I’m even listening on a speaker… I hear every 18th word, as if you lean in to begin your thought and then gradually recede back into the cochlear shadows. Heather should be easier to hear but it’s like she got shocked by the mic once and now her fear of waking it up insulates her whispers. Zack, put a compression gate on them and crank em up. You can’t be even close to -20bd as it is… if you’re using some kind of automated mixer, stop it. That’s lazy. Ride the faders my man, we want to hear what they have to say! Thanks for your service. Keep it up, and please, TURN IT UP.

    The Definition of Losing your Way
    Oof, sad to lose you guys… it’s like watching some teenagers argue on tumblr using TikTok clips as analogies. Lol
  • f1-fan not taken
    Some interesting convo but you guys aren’t experts
    Ivermectin - wrong Myocarditis from mRNA - “technically” correct but it’s close to 0% occurrence You guys talk like self obsessed blowhards. Be careful about listening to these people. I lean somewhat conservative and I can’t take these guys seriously.
  • Radiofanoftheyear
    Drinking game!
    Uh - drink Um - give a drink (Still a great podcast w/ honest liberals)
  • The egg whites
    The train didn’t stop at my station
    Love the show but the constant crying that the revolutionary train didn’t stop where I wanted it gets old. You bought the ticket so take the ride
  • Str8nm
    Hard to enjoy
    Scientists turned political pundits. What we won’t do for money.
  • waiting4rain
    Love this
    Not gonna lie some truths are hard to swallow but the world is truly lucky to have these two standing up for what they believe. These guys are heroes by every definition of the word.

    I give dark horse 5 stars, but Shermer is a hard to listen. Not sure why.
  • Tx43214321
    Stick to Biology
    Stop taking your opinions so seriously or stay within your expertise. Usually love your insights but not this.
  • KMinTexas
    Objective truth and good humor!
    This podcast is an inspiration to me in so many ways! Your dedication to finding the truth is wonderful and I so enjoy the way the two of you banter with each other as you discuss the issues of the day. Your show is the highlight of my week! Congratulations on your 25th anniversary!
  • Suick680
    Appreciate the Attention to past decisions
    I greatly appreciate that you have not dropped off of the Vaccine follow-up. This will be very important as we elect those who control public policy, and hopefully we can impart wisdom and patience in the future to this end. Keep up the good work supporting those who are not captured by systemic forces.
  • DRCTNMD
    Web3 and future of the internet
    Love your show and always impressed by your diverse knowledge base. You/your guests should look into Qortal, it’s the only blockchain I know that was built correctly and has practical application. Only a matter of time before it gets on people’s radar, and is my front runner for true Web3 implementation.
  • Kathy's New Ipad
    Outstanding
    I have really enjoyed sharing many of your episodes over the last year I am new to your journey sad to hear that it happened however predictable for so many reasons. Covid has been the great uniter for those willing to hear, speak and live truth and reality. Thank you for your efforts to speak truth we have all sacrificed much in our life time many of us for years before Covid knowing that socialized medicine and Obama care would destroy our healthcare and our small businesses. Sad we were not considered years ago and not heard.
  • Beerliver
    About time!
    Finally we get to see both of their beautiful faces on the podcast “album” cover. Great job Dr’s.

    This episode is an excellent example of truth telling dialog. Thank you. Few podcasts are so consistant in debunking what is being force feed the public at large. Logic, rational Evaluation is like water in the desert. Keep on doing the noble thing—- seeking the truth. And under duress inform those of us who depend on you.
