I've heard Joe Rogan jokingly refered to as "Oprah for middle aged white dudes".


Rogan conducted decent interviews with Roger Penrose and Oliver Stone.

It's not about Rogan, it is about the guests. His interviews are certainly less formulaic than Charlie Rose's, except when he inserts his favorite topics (just use fast forward ...).


Sounds like something Merlin Mann might say on "Do By Friday"


If only he were Oprah.

More like "Gwyneth Paltrow for bros".


Except Gwyneth and friends are emulating Rogan’s ‘model’ and applying it to the female audience. Rogan and his style of broadcasting were around for almost a decade before Goop decided to start podcasting & make a TV show. Pretty smart on their part honestly. When I saw the Netflix show, all I could think of is ‘This is JRE for women’. Even using some of the same guests, and topics Joe had already popularized.


Painfully accurate.
