I think we have pretty different ideas about Rogan’s appeal. To me, Rogan isn’t a guru or anything like that. Basically, he’s a really great interviewer - a successor to Howard Stern. It’s a form of entertainment that’s about mimicking regular conversation as much as possible - guys sitting around a bar, a poker table, that kind of thing. People talk about whatever it is they find really interesting - whether that’s aliens or drug trips or whatever - and there are no time limits, none of the constraints of the usual media channels. It feels like a good conversation every time, and that has an immense appeal.
