I used to maintain that the Joe Rogan Experience was the best fucking place to see people be interviewed. 

Rogan used to be an actually phenomenal interviewer. His questions were insightful, his guests always felt welcome to expand on their views or experiences. 

You’d have people who would share just incredible life stories, like the black musician who worked to convert KKK members (I feel bad that I can’t remember his name).

And then you’d also have the political episodes. I mean, where else would Bernie Sanders, Andrew Yang, and Ben Shapiro do interviews where there was no manufactured pushback and instead just a genuine conversation on their views? 

Seemed like with COVID that all this was flipped on its head and instead Rogan became the focus of his own podcast.

Like many, I haven’t listened in years.  

I think what makes him such a good interviewer is that he 100% buys whatever the interviewee is selling.

So when the interviewee is making a good faith argument, it makes for an insightful conversation.  When it’s a bad faith argument, it’s like he’s a sycophant.
