Odd. I don't.
Sadly, we need to care, because people who have significant influence over our lives care what he says.
Rogan just parrots or enables what they say. It isn't journalism if it is a megaphone.
If it's that important, why aren't you just listening to Rogan already?
He is arguably the most listened to person on the planet right now. His reach is enormous.
And he should not be. Why should anyone contribute to that, directly or indirectly?
If you think this podcast is contributing to that, then you definitely need to listen to it.
No. The regulators are there to prevent politically undesirable practices. Which are often but not always dodgy practices.
In the US, where everything down to the dog catcher is a partisan political position, of course politics gets into everything like a bad smell. But regulation is not a dirty word.
I mean it in this same sense: Just because Covid is still pervasive world-wide does not mean I want to encourage interest in spreading it. Ditto Rogan.
the pipeline of listeners who moved from Knowledge Fight to Infowars is very narrow indeed. It is doubtful that this podcast will increase Rogan's listenership.
I would be surprised if Marsh and Cecil - both podcasters with a lot of experience - so completely failed in their research that they are basically duplicating something other people are doing.
But here's the thing. You're not spreading it. You're not contributing to Rogan's listenership. You're not being exposed to his advertising partners. You're not spreading Rogan an any way by listening to this show. Marsh and Cecil are, but they're adding a total of two people to Rogan's listenership while potentially speaking to thousands about what Rogan is saying.
