What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?
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.

The dude is a bit of a meathead who will listen to anyone he has interest in for better or worse. I enjoyed his show for a while because I generally enjoy hearing people share their thoughts on things, even if sometimes they end up seeming a little off. As it so happens, I was just as willing to hear out criticisms against his show as well when I started noticing those. Then I just kind of lost interest. It can be a fun show to listen to, but it’s kind of like a dude-bro celebrity magazine-turned-podcast for people who fantasize about being rich and smarter than everyone else. I like to call him “Joe Brogan” now because I think it fits.
The basic issue with Joe is that he can't or won't really challenge his guests to justify what they're saying. Sometimes he gets great guests , and sometimes gets nutjobs. In either case he just lets them talk unchallenged regardless of how crazy or obvious wrong the the person is. And people will argue that by putting nutjobs on the same platform as his better guests he's elevating them and granting a degree of legitimacy. I sort of agree to some extent.
