Why the left is lashing out at Joe Rogan and his podcast

Unforeseen by everyone including Rogan himself The Joe Rogan Experience has become one of the last, few unwavering pillars of American liberalism, critically dissecting important topics in conversations that are simultaneously rigorous and breezy. His show has ushered in a renaissance of long-form, exploratory dialogue that has made intellectual inquiry appealing to a wide audience. (On Tuesday, Spotify revealed that Rogan s podcast is the most popular podcast of 2020 on its platform, with hundreds of millions of downloads a month.) 

During the three hours of doing Joe s show, you get taken on a journey: from politics and culture to spirituality and introspection, Greenwald told me of his recent appearance on Rogan s podcast. Every word he says, you can feel the sincerity of someone doing their best, and not always succeeding, to understand the world and all its complexities. In a world of scripted orthodoxies and partisan dogma, it s easy to see why it resonates for millions.
