He has a right to have any guest on his show that he wants - just like you have the right not to listen to it 🤷🏼‍♂️

'The Joe Rogan Experience' Returns to Apple Podcasts After 3-Year Hiatus

It's a strange new concept in the media world called "pivoting to profit".
Please cite an example of both claims.
Where’s the strawman? Does he not invite neofascists, climate change denialists and antivax wackos? Are we talking about the same show? You call it strawman because you don’t know what a strawman is.
About the “think of the children”, you completely misunderstood my point. I was just taking an example of opinions that exist but are universally considered unacceptable and unworthy of broadcasting.
But since you mentioned that aspect… he did invite Milo Yiannopulous a few times, right? That makes my hyperbole wrong because he actually invited someone who doesn’t even agree with basic common sense about child molesting. So… sorry about that, I guess.
Not sure if you have no idea of who you’re talking about or just don’t care or even condone the dangerous ethical consequences of his “open-mindedness”.
Seeing a lot of people saying Apple let him back on Podcasts. Y'all know the reason he wasn't on Apple Podcasts is because he had an exclusivity with Spotify, right? Literally that's what the article is about.
I don’t want to sound condescending but if I where to make a Venn diagram of intelligent people I know and people I know who listen to Joe Rogan…
…well we all can guess those circles won’t touch. They actually kind of repel each other.

Mediocre white bro makes it big on the backs of mediocre white dudes. Rinse, repeat.
That was a hyperbole. I just meant to show some opinion not worthy of any consideration do clearly exist.
Neofascism is one of those, right there with people who think it’s fine to molest anybody.
And the problem is not about his opinions (he’s a moderate in many ways) but what people he invites say. He does invite and (very mildly) debates fascists.
Some embarrassing juvenile responses here. If you don't like him, don't listen. I don't.
Also: if you can't handle "misinformation" or "disinformation" or "misdisinformation" then you are the problem. Because it's coming at us like a firehose from EVERY SINGLE DIRECTION.
Calm down and grow up.

They are people who can't make a cogent case for their own ideas, so they put all their energy into trying to control what the rest of us can and can't see. It's exhausting.
Amazingly awesome. Thank you for doing the right thing Joe.
Nice!, Joe Rogan is an entertaining interviewer. Nice he gets everyone from any side of a discussion. We have reached a point where people can just be destroyed for even having a person the media disagree's with on his show.
How is that unlike most media outlets ?
Gotta love the ignorance around here. Apple didn’t “let him back”. He had an exclusivity deal with Spotify that’s now over. But thanks for proving why we need other voices out there that tell people facts.
Love it!!! I hate the Spotify player even more than the Apple one!
Guess y'all missed the Bernie interview, Abby Martin, Jimmy Dore, Tulsi Gabbard? I can almost taste the tears!
Please provide a link to your go-to source that identifies misinformation.
This practice of driving a dump truck full of money up to Joe Rogan’s house is why I left Spotify — a platform I loved — in 2020. Sadly this deal means I can’t go back for another few years, but I’m basically used to Deezer at this point anyway so it’s all good.
Better stop watching /reading most main stream media outlets then pal
People take him way too seriously on here. He's a wannabe comedian with a talkshow. He sucks at being a comedian (in my opinion) but he's funny enough as a host of a pod or a UFC match. I stopped listening to him entirely when he went to Spotify, but his guests are mostly considered subject matter experts with differing interpretation of science, medicine, politics and culture. He's done a decent job in giving every side a chance to talk. He's a self proclaimed 'meathead' so I don't know why people here think he's actually the cause of misinformation. If some of his audience choose to believe some of his guests over others, then that's their prerogative. He's merely providing a choice. One side can't just completely shut down the voices of others because they don't believe or agree with what they are saying, regardless of their version of the facts. His inner circle comedian friends are equally unfunny as him and when he has them on or his MMA buddies, that's a waste of air. But his political, science, medicine and culture guests, are usually worth a listen or at minimum a proper way to use a platform. I think his approach to mix serious topics with his attempt at comedy and his 'bro-science' speak, confuses some people. Some prefer that entertainers stay in their subject lanes I guess? Apple never banned him nor do they pay him. Jon Stewart was a totally different scenario where AppleTV+ was paying him to make content, tried to intervene when he wanted to criticize China I believe? And JS decided to move on because of this moderation. People should be more upset at Apple for this insane censorship, than anything that Rogan has vomitted out of his mouth.
Right. Just seems a strange deal. If your Joe Rogan why not just do your own and keep the profit. Is it that hard?
Funny, those who say his podcast expresses extreme views and spreads misinformation are the very people who are actually spreading extreme views and spreading disinformation.
It’s the mainstream media and establishment’s desperate attempt to cling to power, but it’s not working. People are waking up to their lies thanks to people like Rogan and independent journalists who are actually practicing journalism.

Exactly. Most of what was called “misinformation” turned out to be fact. And the mainstream media refuses to update or report on any of it.
What Rogan is practicing is many thing, but it's not journalism. He very rarely challenges his guests with interesting questions, which makes most interviews boring and a waste of time. I tried to listen to some shows where he had more controversial guests, but there is really not much you can learn from them.
FYI: you can’t be “candid” if you’re lying.
