Let Joe Rogan Speak

Joe Rogan is amazing.

Five years ago, I left Fox to start a TV show. I left because I wasn't happy with live TV. Guests talked a lot, but didn't say much.

I like having a month or more to do research and then more time to edit the video into a short clip that explains complicated things, but is also fun to watch.

This model was edited. 2 million views is the average for our short videos.

People are busy. They don't want to sit for long periods of time. Rogan proved me wrong.

He talks to people for three hours. 11 million people listen. That's eleven million!

How does he do it? He didn't have journalism training. I notice that Rogan is the best commentator at UFC events because he acted on a sitcom and hosted a reality show. It is very different to host three hours of serious talk with intellectuals like physicist Brian Cox or mathematician Roger Penrose.

I started listening to Rogan's podcasts. I was spending an hour with Rogan and his guests. I learned more when I watched TV news. I don't know how Rogan does it. Maybe it's because he asks good questions. He uses what he learned from previous interviews when he questions other guests. He makes three hours fun.

Rogan is being criticized for broadcasting misinformation and having anti-vaxers on his show. Rogan didn't get a vaccine. He believes that he and his family have enough protection. He thinks it wouldn't hurt him much if he got COVID-19 again.

I'm skeptical. I'm about to get my fourth vaccine. I still enjoy hearing Rogan question people with strange ideas. I learn from him.

Other people say that Rogan must be stopped. He kills people by broadcasting misinformation.

Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and some other musicians who have never listened to Rogan pulled their music from the service that carries his podcasts. They and others want his show to stop. It hasn't been done by Spotify.

Rogan didn't hide, unlike many people attacked by the mob. If we are attacked for something we say, we should fight back with more speech.

Many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact. CNN has openly and repeatedly stated that. You would be banned from many social media platforms if you said that. That is on the cover of Newsweek.

Rogan is correct. The arbiters of truth are often wrong. Rogan faced another controversy. There was a video of him using the N-word. Rogan fought back with more words. Rogan said he only said it when others said it. I was talking about how it was used in the movie.

Rogan is a comedian who has done thousands of shows. He will make mistakes and offend some people. So what? He corrects his mistakes. Let Rogan speak.
