In the 1980s shock jock Howard Stern became the self-declared "King of All Media," but in recent years his relevance has been on the decline. The same can't be said for Joe Rogan. His podcast is now considered more important to up and coming comics than The Tonight Show was even in the era of Johnny Carson.
And even as he courts controversy Rogan shows no signs of backing down.
...
Just this week, a group of 270 medical experts called on Spotify to cancel the top-rated "The Joe Rogan Experience."...In particular the group of medical professionals called out a December 31, 2021 episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, which featured guest Dr. Robert Malone...Yet, even as some in the medical community may have called out Rogan, his power is certainly felt on social media as many users quickly came to his defense.
"The more our media tries to get us to hate Joe Rogan, the more I love the guy," wrote YouTube Channel and Twitch host Gary Sheffield Jr. (@GarysheffieldJr).
...
Rogan, a comedian and UFC color commentator, launched the podcast in December 2009. Since December 2020 it has been available exclusively on Spotify, while highlights are also uploaded to YouTube. In January 2019, the podcast won Best Comedy Podcast at the iHeartRadio Podcast Awards, and last year it remained the most popular podcast in the United States.
The power of his brand was also on display earlier this month after he very publicly signed up for the Twitter rival Gettr, which was created by former Trump aid Jason Miller. The platform had launched last July, but after Rogan joined up the service reportedly saw a massive influx of users.

Thanks for confirming that he said that about BHO.
To hell with this guy.
I hear what your saying and don't disagree regarding his topics/guests.
That said, if Rogan voted for Obama...He is in my opinion part of the problem. If he helped foist that knukka-head on this nation, he IS the enemy.
Shows poor judgment, therefore he holds no credibility.
If he would vote for Obama, he would vote for liberal congressmen/senators the likes of Schumer, Pelosi.
My good FRiend, when you secure a $100MM deal with Spotify, and your posts on FR attract the fear of 250 alleged medical practitioners who want to silence you, and Ted Nugent wants to sit with you for a 3 hour interview, talk to me about your failed comedy act.
This.
He was a failed a comedy act. Cripes his best paying gig before this podcast was getting people to eat bugs for money. Yeah sure now he’s making lots of money, basically playing the same conspiracy obsessed nut he played on News Radio. I doubt highly he believes a single word he’s saying, but people sure are eating it up.
Ted and Walter are still alive.
Don't get my hopes up like that this early in the morning.
Maybe voting for Obama is your Deal Killer. Everyone has a Deal Killer...for many it's abortion. For others it's the 2nd Amendment. And so on.
We are all sinners. Repentance is key. I suspect millions of Obama voters went for a Trump twice.
And for what it's worth, I think Rogan wasn't saying he WANTED Mrs O to be President. He's making a political calculation, and in many ways he makes a plausible argument insofar as elections are popularity contests (when not rigged). I also think Michelle has a great life and wouldn't be bothered with the muck and mire and grind of an election.
And Rogan has the ear of many young people!
To say Rogan is a “failed comedian” shows extraordinary ignorance. He’s had a very successful career as a comedian & continues selling out most of his stand up gigs. I’ve enjoyed his comedic work for the most part. Some of his standup specials are a RIOT!
He’s actually good at more than one thing. His podcast success speaks for itself. He’s a fight caller for the UFC & he’s great at getting ignorance to expose itself!
He's not a libertarian. He's a mix of things, like most of us. I'm not gonna piss on him because he's doing well. Good for him, too many people want people in checked boxes, etc. My main gripe with Joe, is that he fled to Texas. The blue migration to 'red' states isn't a 'good' thing. Migration always destroys.
The cursing and Profane imagery - I’m out
But three hours?
Someone wanted me to listen to the Malone interview. I know all about Malone. Why am I listening to three hours?
No
Son and husband are Joe Rogan addicts.
Life Site News came down hard on Gettr yesterday, and referenced Rogan’s possible misgivings about moving to the platform.
Gettr gets slammed as a fake conservative social media app with troubling Big Tech, China ties
Sure he’s made money. Playing the same nut on News Radio he’s playing on his podcast now. Or getting getting people to eat bugs. And his standup act kept him in food. But nobody ever called him one of the best. Cause he wasn’t. There’s a reason his most famous standup stuff was complaining about comedians stealing stuff, but never from him. He was just never all that. And he still isn’t. If you wanna worship him I ain’t gonna stop you, but I will feel you could have made better choices.
Well said. That is why I listen. But bumping up the playback to 1.5X helps. ;o)
And honestly his presidency failed. He barely beat one of the least appealing candidates in the history of politics, got no major legislation passed, and then lost to a senile old man that can’t even find the mic stand half the time. I know we all like him here, but looking at his run honestly, it just wasn’t all that.
Who are “medical experts?” Nobel Prize winners dismissed as nobodies, and then teams of “medical experts” are to be heard and obeyed?
