Why Is Joe Rogan So Popular?
I&#x27;ll take a stab. I&#x27;m not a &quot;fan,&quot; but I do like to listen to him from time to time. He&#x27;s ...<p>- Open to nearly any idea.<p>- (almost) Never talks down to the audience or his guest. Although the motivations are almost certainly different, this is a bit reminiscent of David Letterman always playing a bit of a fool. It&#x27;s generally endearing to most people.<p>- Generally friendly and congenial.<p>In a world full of Joe Rogans, you wouldn&#x27;t have very many good interviews. He&#x27;s not adversarial, he&#x27;s often not prone to, nor equipped to meaningfully disagree with a guest, and he&#x27;s open to multiple, mutually contradictory opinions. But, the adversarial interview has gained in popularity for so long that it&#x27;s become the norm. In this environment, he&#x27;s a breath of  fresh air. There really is a place for hearing someone lay out their views in a long, methodical way without being badgered every few minutes by an interviewer looking for a sound bite.
