Uncommon Knowledge
For more than two decades the Hoover Institution has been producing Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, a series hosted by Hoover fellow Peter Robinson as an outlet for political leaders, scholars, journalists, and today’s big thinkers to share their views with the world. Guests have included a host of famous figures, including Paul Ryan, Henry Kissinger, Antonin Scalia, Rupert Murdoch, Newt Gingrich, and Christopher Hitchens, along with Hoover fellows such as Condoleezza Rice and George Shultz. “Uncommon Knowledge takes fascinating, accomplished guests, then sits them down with me to talk about the issues of the day,” says Robinson, an author and former speechwriter for President Reagan. “Unhurried, civil, thoughtful, and informed conversation– that’s what we produce. And there isn’t all that much of it around these days.” The show started life as a television series in 1997 and is now distributed exclusively on the web over a growing network of the largest political websites and channels.

Hosts & Guests
A superb, suave interviewer with often fascinating guests
22 May
Peter Robinson is a charming, conscientious and skilled interviewer whose questions help his guests explain their beliefs and knowledge in a very illuminating manner. He reminds me of an art gallery exhibition curator whose skill and care helps the public appreciate the artist and their art. I invariably enjoy listening to the interviews and afterwards find myself pondering the issues discussed and researching further his guests’ theories and uncommon knowledge.
Gushing over Netanyahu?

I added this podcast with interest to listen but when the hosts started gushing about what a great guy Netanyahu is I knew I had made a terrible mistake. 👎🏻
