Why has the UK fallen for the cult of Joe Rogan?

. It’s right to condemn Rogan’s handling of Covid, of course. He has invited numerous vaccine sceptics onto the, he became a proponent of the controversial – and medically dubious – drug ivermectin, often used for de-worming livestock. His critics brand him an idiot. If so, he’s an idiot with the platform of a statesman.

How exactly did Rogan manage to strike it so big? For one thing, he was already a media figure, albeit a relatively fringe one. His breakthrough role came on the cult 1990s workplace sitcom, in which he played handyman and conspiracy theorist Joe Garrelli. Of all the show’s stars, among them Dave Foley, Maura Tierney, Andy Dick and, until his tragic murder, Phil Hartman, it seems almost perversely unlikely that Rogan would be the one destined for superstardom.

On the one hand, this attests to an ever more porous boundary between our two cultures. American culture already pervades our televisions, our news websites, our social media feeds. Why would podcasts be immune? But more than this, Rogan’s international popularity reveals something fundamental about the man’s appeal. To some extent, Rogan’s approach to interviewing is one rooted in open-mindedness.

'It's clear he's offering listeners something they don't find elsewhere.' Yeah, the truth.

It is laughable that Yapuke says Joe is spreading misinformation..talk about the pot calling the kettle black...Joe had always said people should research info for themselves..you idiots at Yapuke expect people to take your biased stories as gospel..there's fu*kery going on

You mean his words make so much sense that many people agree with it, but you dont like it so its misinformation? Does he uses hypnosis? Does he drug them? Is it voodoo? stfu and contradict his arguments if you can, if not go away

What 'misinformation' do you speak of, Queen of FakeNews?

I liked him better when he was having people laying coffins of snakes and eat chicken eggs that have been cooked with a baby chicken in them.

Must hurt knowing he has 10X the audience has lmao keep on with the slander.

That would be called 'TRUTH', you spelled 'misinformation' wrong.
