I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don’t know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

    My friend, you’ve asked this question in a very left-leaning forum. As you can see, most or all of these answers are gonna be from people who generally disagree with Rogan. If you want to get an idea of what his podcast is about there’s lots of short clips from his podcast on YouTube. I think we need more context as to why your acquaintance is saying this to answer questions you might have about connotations or meaning.

      Reality is left wing. The posts aren’t wrong. Joe Rogan is a gate way to the far right and extremism.

      Long way to avoid saying all of the important things

      He’s pushed pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, discouraged young people from getting the vaccine, given a blank check of a platform with no opposition or fact checking to climate skepticism, transgender hate in sports, made LOTS of racist comments that just keep popping up, liberal use of the n word, fearmongering some slippery slopes about “the wokes”

      Doesn’t matter which side of politics you’re on, Joe Rogan is batshit insane these days. Well maybe that is the side you’re on, in which case I retract the former statement.
