"Left wing approved" Joe Rogan alternative

I was referring more generally to his audience of adoring fans, who are pretty much exclusively right wing, male and conspiracy oriented.

Rogan, a few weeks ago:

My friend, his wife is a school teacher. She works at a school that had to install a litter box in the girl’s room because there is a girl who is a furry who identifies as an animal, and her mother badgered the school until they agreed to put a litter box in one of the stalls. So this girl goes into the litter room, or to the girl’s room, and urinates or whatever. I don’t know if she poops in it, that’s gross...You’ve conned the school into putting this **** litter box in a girl’s room, which is bananas.

Rogan, a few weeks later when it becomes clear that the story about litter boxes is a right-wing lie, conflating the fact that some schools have a supply of "urine absorbtion crystals" in classrooms in case there's an active shooter and the students are trapped in the classroom for a long time:

I fed into that and I should probably clarify a little bit. I have a friend, and my friend’s wife is a schoolteacher, and she told him that there was [sic] discussions in the school that a mother wanted to put a litter box in one of the bathrooms. He told me this and I talked about it on here, and then people were saying ‘That’s not true, that’s an internet rumor.’ So I contacted him again, and I said ‘Tell me exactly what she said. Contact her and find out.’ She no longer works for that school, she works for another school. She contacted the other school, she didn’t get a response.

It doesn't really matter if Rogan is left-wing or right-wing. He's an idiot.

But OP, you can listen to him if you want. Nobody is saying you can't. If you want to listen to him, listen to him.

He didn't admit it. It's a lie/right-wing talking point that he propagated as being something he says came direct from his friend's wife as something that happened, then when it came out it didn't, he waved it away as "I'm having difficulty fact-checking it now". It's barely a step away from "I do have a girlfriend. She's a model. But she goes to another school."

That is a problem. He willingly and knowingly lied, and that confirmation from his friend's wife will never come. It'll be forgotten about.

But, listen to him if you want. Go for it. No one is stopping you. Why are you asking for "left-wing approved alternatives" if you still do want to listen to Rogan? Just **** listen to him.

Okay, I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. You have your taste and I have mine. There is no accounting for taste, there is no wrong or right answers here. Just preferences. For me I would prefer to listen to Lex Friedman any day over Joe Rogan because the guests imo more often than not are more interesting and more fact based on Lex's show. Thats just something I prefer.

Interestingly Spotify is one of the brands currently paused off Twitter…

If we’re going that hard then just listen to The Problem With Jon Stewart. The guy does no conspiracy theories, just real **** like healthcare for first responders and junk

Interesting thread.

If you mean 'left-wing' in the European sense of being socialist, I don't know of any.

If you mean 'left-wing' in the American sense of being liberal/progressive, I would suggest 'The Dollop', or 'Stuff You Should Know'. There is a dedicated podcast section of the radio forum where you can find all sorts of suggestions for new podcasts.

Well Liberty should come with a better fact checkers team.
