PODCAST 74: The makers of The Rise of Jordan Peterson talk about their controversial documentary
Could this podcast possibly have more awkward edits?
Where is Dr. P these days? He seems to have dropped off the planet.
Jordan Peterson has declined public appearances since around October last year, the work load of his world tour and the constant attacks have taken a heavy toll. He suffered some sort of breakdown I believe. He’s taking a well earned break and working on the final edit of his new book. God bless him, I hope he’s feeling better.
Thanks for the update. I wasn’t sure how long he could keep up that pace. And he is a rather sensitive soul. Yes, God bless you doc.
In addition to the other stressors his wife became suddenly life threateningly ill. All in all he’s been through a rough time and if nothing else is taking a well deserved and necessary sabbatical. Miss him though.
Agree. I really hope they both make a full recovery.
I purchased the movie on I tunes. As a fan I found it very interesting, well worth watching.
Things got really bad for him and his family.

It certainly was a trip to hell for the good doctor; complicated by life threatening pneumonia. Great to hear he is on the mend and will be making the next update himself.
