Not sure. Honestly a right wing hack that spreads vaccine misinformation and ivermectin as the only true covid cure is the opposite of what I want in a programming podcast.

Well if that's all you reduce Rogan down to, then sure. But it would totally ignore why so many people tune in to his show.

Rogan is entertaining, like a drunk guy at a party. And his content is generally useless, for the same reason.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

I discovered interesting people like Lex Friedman, Sean Caroll, Eric Weinstein, through Rogan's show.

Granted, I don't watch JRE anymore but back when I did I found it to be a gateway to people I might not have discovered otherwise. To me that was useful.

That's what I was thinking. A dispenser of garbage information from a garbage hack of a person? I can name a few narcissists I know that have no technical knowledge, despite their claims. Is that what you're looking for?
