    The podcast is very good, I highly recommend picking out a few episodes that look interesting and diving in.

    It’s quite remarkable how he launders dumbass galaxy-brain conspiracy theories to his audience and drives the conversation towards PR for billionaires.

    Mark Andreson led him around like a bull with a ring through his nose; the guy is one of the most useful idiots in history.

    Edit: For people who didn’t read the article, I’m talking about the author’s podcast, The Know Rogan Experience.

      Thanks for the recc. I have a feeling I might like it because I’ve been pretty into Knowledge Fight for a while. If you didn’t know about that one, it’s a podcast that covers Alex Jones and people in his sphere, including Joe Rogan on occasion.

      I oddly haven’t tuned in yet, but I remember when they started the podcast since Marshall is a regular on atheist podcasts I regularly listen to, like God Awful Movies.

      He’s always subjected himself to bullshit though; after all, his other work has him interviewing batshit crazy conspiracy folks and scammy snake oil woo folk.

      He has a podcast called the “Know Rogan Experience” aimed at evaluating and understanding what happens on Rogan. Because, like it or not, Rogan has influence.

      That seems to keep happening. Trump was supposed to always be “that guy with that shitty reality show boomers watched” but instead, millions of people wanted that trainwreck to combine with national and global politics. What a great idea that was.

      He’s an useful idiot for rich fucks who control much of mainstream news and social media, so they tune their algos to recommend people like him and Tate with pseudo intellectual bullshit.

      Creates a feedback loop. They create content to please the right. Businesses that benefit from rightwing ideology have algorithms that recommend them.
