Must be where a lot of Rush’s listeners went.
Joe’s numbers were strong when Rush was still on the radio.
He has had that size audience for years. When Rush was still here. A whole other demographic.
I’m about the age of most Freepers’ kids. Rogan has been huge with my demographic for 5+ years.
That said, Rogan IS the Limbaugh for people under 40. He commands a LOT of power, voted with his feet (moving from CA to TX), isn't slimy, and doesn't shy away from provocative or polarizing guests.
It would be wise to not underestimate Rogan's appeal.
Rogan has been mega popular for years. Rush mentioned him from time to time and noted Rogan signed a contract for $100 million to do his podcast as an example of how the alternative media is changing the landscape as to how people are receiving information outside of the mainstream media.
