The Joe Rogan Experience

connundrum

In searching, the last thread on this show was about 4 years ago - so here's a new one.

Have been a subscriber for about a year now, and really enjoy most shows which are not MMA related.

Midway through Lance Armstrong ep now, enjoying the kind of easier time he's getting from Joe as it is an alternative to the usual (justified) vitriol.

The variety of guests is a big plus and I enjoy most comedians shooting the breeze. I'm on the road a bunch so this long form is grand.

I like it a lot too - great for long drives.
I think Joe is a really talented communicator, with way more hits than misses give the volume of these that he pumps out. He gets really impatient with his producer/occasional guests which is often kind of funny and human, and I like that he lets his guests express themselves. Means you get to understand where they're coming from. Plus given the long form it's harder for any guest to pull off a false persona.
He's an interesting guy; helps that I'm a big MMA fan though and I enjoy his angles on fighters, training approaches etc.

Sometimes the downside is his near zealous adoption of a side or theme, he can be very closed to dissent - for example he's soooo pro weed it's a bit naively over the top (and I'm pro). And sometimes he seems too much in awe or too respectful of the science guests. Guess it's his 'all in' attitude that has made him so successful though!

Find the podcast far too long to listen to regularly but it's great for the occasional guest. Still laugh at the Bill Burr monkey story from recently.
