My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

    Before COVID Rogan’s show was fantastic. As soon as the end of 2019 ramped up it was all down hill from there.

    He went full Alex Jones.

      Yeah it’s easy to hate Joe Rogan now but there’s a reason why he was the #1 most downloaded podcast for years. Huge range of guests and Joe’s, “Jack of all trades master of absolutely nothing besides MMA” knowledge base of questions got some good stories out of people.

      He went full meth addict. All he does is talk at his guests. He doesn’t listen any more he just rants at them.

      Or he has a comedian on, and they spend two hours mentioning names from back in the day.
