On May 20, Theodore Dalrymple was a guest on the popular podcast of the well-known Canadian psychology professor and YouTube phenomenon, Jordan Peterson. The two-hour video has been viewed over 300,000 times in the five days since it was published on YouTube.
A big thank you goes out to Robert R. for bringing this exciting conversation to my attention.
The skeptical doctor was interviewed in April by Lou Perez on his podcast. A wide-range of topics are discussed, including crime, poverty, prison life, and New York City. It is great to see Dr. Dalrymple healthy, witty, and sharp as he regales the listener with his typical assortment of uniquely interesting anecdotes.
Theodore Dalrymple is interviewed about his 1995 book So Little Done by Marcelo Consentino, the translator of the recently published Portuguese language version for the Brazilian market. The interview, which took place in July, begins around the two-minute mark and is well worth a listen.
Below is an interesting conversation our favorite doctor had in May of this year with a member of the Cambridge University Conservative Association.
The Oldie‘s Ferdie Rous interviews our skeptical doctor covering many favorite topics including crime, poverty, addiction, moral and cultural decline, and his fondness for Wales.
Thank you to our reader David for bringing this to my attention.
This is an excellent and informal half-hour interview of the good doctor by an affable Brazilian journalist from the Sao Paulo-based Veja weekly news magazine.
The good doctor is interviewed over the phone by Andrew Heaton on his show Something’s Off with Andrew Heaton in April 2019. The discussion mainly focuses on topics raised in Theodore Dalrymple’s classic book, Life at the Bottom: The Worldview that Makes the Underclass. The interview begins around the six-minute mark and lasts almost 50 minutes.
Below is a Theodore Dalrymple interview with Eduardo Wolf of Café Filosófico in Brazil from September 2018 that was not previously posted on The Skeptical Doctor. There are portions of the program that are in Portuguese only, but the good doctor does speak (in English) for close to half the total time. It is a pleasure to see that the writing and ideas of Theodore Dalrymple are having some impact in the largest country in South America.
Theodore Dalrymple’s November appearance in a half-hour interview on The New Culture Forum’s ‘So What You’re Saying is…’, hosted by Peter Whittle, is below. Thank you to our reader, David, who brought this excellent discussion to our attention. It is always refreshing to see and hear the good doctor expounding on his favorite topics at length.
