The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

In this episode of the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Dr. Peterson interviews Matt Walsh, a fellow Daily Wire contributor, about his successful documentaries "What is a Woman?" and "Am I Racist?". They discuss the creative process behind filmmaking, the roles of producers, directors, and editors, and the importance of humor in social commentary. Walsh shares his experiences dealing with controversial topics, the challenges of staying in character during filming, and his perspective on the emotional inputs, particularly anger, that drive his work. The conversation also explores broader cultural and political issues, including the feminist movement, racial tensions, and the state of universities, before touching on Walsh's recent online exchanges with James Lindsay and the concept of the "woke right."
