Okay, but why start with Joe Rogan instead of Eminem? (I’m not advocating for either, but Eminem regularly says far worse things than Joe)

  If I may abstract your question to "Why start with a podcast instead of a rapper?", it does make a bit more sense to me to start with a podcast. At least to me, a podcast has a more informative feel to it than songs. To songs, I listen 100% for entertainment. Could be different for different people, I guess.

    I’ve only tried to listen to Rogan a couple of times, but based on those experiences and his general portrayal in the media it’s hard to imagine people viewing him as informational rather than as straight up entertainment. The guy was heavily criticized for interviewing Alex Jones, a well known comedy sketch character. Most likely his critics are just people who simply can’t differentiate between entertainment and information, so why treat music any different?

      The US had a reality star as president. I don't think people are able to make a distinction between experts and celebrities at this point.
