I was thinking the same thing. Who directly compares podcast listeners against cable TV show viewers? Kind of apples and oranges...
Well it’s not like Rogan’s podcast is audio only like podcasts originally were so I think the comparison with cable is fine. Way better than a comparison with Rush but people seem unable to get over Rush and so they grasp for any sort of replacement. Rogan’s not that. He smokes pot and drinks on his show and it’s not all politics by any means.
Tucker started his new Tucker Carlson Today show and if I had to guess, in the mold of Rogan. He does one hour interviews which are also good.
Rogan usually has a bunch of people on that I’ve never heard of and have no interest in like fellow MMA fighters. He also has comedians on and had Ron White not too long ago which was good.
