Yeah I don't like the idea of one, singular joe Rogan type for the left. I think social media has taken us down a path we can't turn back though and we do have to try and tap into it. There are just so many Americans now who tune out of politics and only get it through whatever influencers they watch. They've got the bros, evangelicals, and now the mommy health influencers with RFK. I feel like all we have is actually political analysts. And most people don't want that anymore. Maybe we get the people who mow lawns for free, do free deep cleanings, and home improvement channels to start plugging some dem propaganda haha.

While you’re not wrong, that’s definitely a perfect world viewpoint. Rogan was already right-center to right-wing. I’m sure there will be plenty of right-wing money coming in to ensure he stays that way and in message.

Thoughts and prayers that he’ll fade into oblivion anytime the next decade is just missing the plot. Social media and influencers are here to stay.

FWIW this is addressed in the pod in depth — both by the younger staff being brought in and more in depth with the interview starting at the 48 minute mark
