Johnny Harris, filmmaker and journalist, joins Offline to talk about Joe Rogan—how he became the world's most famous podcaster, where he stands (or doesn't) on censorship, and how he created a brand of anti-woke contrarianism. Johnny argues that people who are tired of polarization and tribalism see Rogan's openness, curiosity, and resistance to mainstream labels as a breath of fresh air. But Rogan's guests also regularly spread misinformation, and Johnny considers the machismo atmosphere of The Joe Rogan Experience to be a gateway podcast, one that leads listeners away from openness and curiosity and towards men's rights activists like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate. |
