It's not strange many interesting people want to visit Joe Rogan podcast.
First, he is willing to give a voice to many who won't be able to tell their stories on mass media.
Who other will let speak people like James Damore? What major broadcaster is willing to interview Jordan Peterson without protraiting him as a villain?
He respects his guest, when in disagrement. His interview to Jack Dorsey (not much of his liking, I presume), was criticised for not being aggresive enough.
The interviewed is not afraid of a headline out of context.
Given the current political climate, I'm not suprised a MMA guy is capable of doing what most journalists don't.
- buboard 7y agoThe reason he can be "more independent" is exactly because he's not dependent financially on media, not his MMA bg.
- cm2187 7y agoBut he is financially dependent on youtube, isn't he? I am not suggesting he auto-censors himself but he is not "independent".
- LandR 7y agoDoes the actual podcast, not the one that gets uploaded to YouTube, have Joe reading ads? I assumed it did and they got cut out?
- Phillipharryt 7y agoPodcasts can also be uploaded to services that intersperse advertising (or place them at determined points) on their own, even if the host doesn't read the adverts during the podcast. Midroll is the big name in that business.
- nradov 7y agoYes if you listen through other services Joe reads ads from several sponsors at the beginning and end.
- buboard 7y agoNo his podcast makes more money outside of youtube. I m pretty sure he makes "F U Youtube" money to not care about self-censorship https://www.quora.com/How-much-money-does-Joe-Rogan-make-from-podcasts https://www.quora.com/How-much-money-does-Joe-Rogan-make-fro...
- me_me_me 7y agoHe is a world famous standup comedian. He does MMA coverage and podcasting as side gig for fun. I doubt that his life depends on the podcast.
- cm2187 7y agoI doubt he is making much money doing standups in LA clubs. vs having a podcast with an audience of about 10 millions, which is more than most TV shows can claim.
- huehehue 7y agoHe was also the host of a prime time game show for 5 years.
- dvtrn 7y agoAlso was an actor on prime time tv before even this
- sdan 7y agoNot just Youtube, he gets paid sponsors on his podcast. For example (in my case) if you listen on Apple Podcasts you can hear 5 minutes of him talking about brands. These brands probably pay him tens of thousands per episode to get a shoutout. Pretty sure YT may make a good contribution, but not so much that he relies on it.
- jsgo 7y agoI thought the Dorsey interview (and the round table with them, the legal/moderation lady with multiple titles, and that Pool or whatever his name is guy) were pretty good. Not a fan of Stephen Crowder (sp?), but that interview was pretty uncomfortable. Generally though, yeah, I think he does well interviewing people.
- cyborgx7 7y agoI question the value of letting people like James Damore and Jordan Peterson speak on such a big platform. Edit: The people downvoting me are hypocrites. The function of downvoting to make something less visible. Are you saying what I say has less value and should therefore have a lesser platform? But to be serious, everyone acknowledges that what some people say is of more value than what other people say, and should be seen by more people. We just disagree on what the things that have value are. And your insistence on arguing about the former, rather than the latter is tiresome and dishonest.
- lagadu 7y agoYes, we should selectively filter people whose ideas we don't like from being able to speak them to any audience. In fact I question the value of letting people like <person whose ideas you value> speak on such a big platform. /s Surely you understand that what you're suggesting here is totalitarian? The value you mention is the strengthening of a society where freedom of ideas is considered a core value.
- cyborgx7 7y agoIt's not totalitarian at all. I'm not advocating not letting them speak. I'm saying what they say has no (or negative) value.
- john-radio 7y agoYour "totalitarian" remark is such a shameless misrepresentation of what the person you're talking to is saying that you might as well be talking to yourself.
- andreaorru 7y agoWhat's wrong with Jordan Peterson? I think he's vastly misrepresented.
- cyborgx7 7y agoAll he has done is repackage some pretty basic self-help advice into a gross right-wing ideology. I don't think this has any value.
