Joe Rogan is open-minded and simply has conversations with people. The only thing new about his style is the length--his are usually about three hours long and I'm not going to listen to anyone interview anybody for three hours--but the principle is as old as television and radio.

Look at some old Dick Cavett interviews sometime, to name just one. These guys would sit and talk and sometimes intelligently DEBATE a topic for half an hour to an hour. It wasn't a bunch of overpaid shills sitting around agreeing on a prepackaged narrative.

I missed that. Apparently, even younger people who had never been exposed to it missed it. Joe Rogan fills a need, and does it very well.

How does anyone get in touch with Joe Rogan's booking agent? I think they would find me interesting. I am the private investigator, now 83 years old, who uncovered Barack Obama's use of a stolen Connecticut Social Security Number, a felony, when he got elected to the White House. susandanielspi.com

I marked the survey "don't watch it at all," but with a qualification: it's not just Rogan, I don't watch podcasts/interviews at all.

if I'm interested in the content of such a show I seek out transcripts.

I had a friend stay over at my house when he was recovering from surgery. He was rather mobility limited and high on pain meds. So to torture him when he was being pissy, I would put the View on and leave the room with the remote. Seven years later, he is still salivating for his revenge. You got it right about Rogan, it reminds of the days of having beers with friends.

Shawn Ryan also had Mike Benz on an episode. In that episode, Benz talks about censorship, as well as the whole Ukraine story, the people involved, and more. Definitely worth checking out.

Excellent article as always, sir!
