·This thread was actually much more civil than I expected when I first saw the title.
I just discovered Watchtv. I prefer the DON vs DNN open debates over JR.

·I was really hoping i was going to come in here and see a bunch of Seamaster talk. But I knew better.
Regarding one specific topic mentioned, has Rogan really given flat earth a “platform”? I’ve seen a few clips of him openly mocking and forcing Eddie Bravo to logically explain the flat earth theory (spoilers, he couldn’t, but it was hilarious).
I’m not necessarily here to debate Joe Rogan, but I will say in the war against bad ideas, we should give them a platform for open scrutiny vs. governing what is and isn’t acceptable to debate.

·I know there are a lot of his podcasts that are criticized (unfairly IMHO) due to his guests but i would recommend watching or hearing his podcasts with people like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bob Lazar, George Knapp, David Fravor etc.

Yes, there was a time when exposing craziness to the light was helpful in, if not stopping it at least slowing it down. This is no longer true. Bat shit crazy is often legitimizing bat shit crazy. For example, as a liberal, I do not and do not know any other liberal who kidnaps children or is a cannibal. Unfortunately, in some circles that needs to be noted.
Yes, allowing freedom of speech is important. But that's only one half of the picture. What seems to be lacking these days is, after someone has their say, the person listening is not telling them they are batshit crazy.
I am not referring to JR or his show, which I know little of, although I am not unfamiliar with JR's background.
This comment applies to the general notion of allowing anyone to say whatever they want in the interest of free speech. We assume too much when we rely on others capacity to think logically.

·For sheer entertainment, listen to a Rogan podcast with Bob Lazar, who claims to have seen alien spacecrafts at Area 51.
That episode was epic!

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Guy that does MMA and fear factor. That’s all I know or thought he done.
Not that big in Australia.
Funny but I find myself looking up a lot of US people I’m supposed to know when I have been in the States with work.
Yet Crocodile Dundee was/is the only Australian most Americans know. 😉

·Failed standup comic, who then became an MMA announcer.
parlayed that into a podcast where he tries to look smart by giving time to any idiot and being neutral.
Somewhere his old partner in crime Dan Cortese is wondering how it all happened.
Let's not forget his bit role in NewsRadio. One of the most underrated TV sitcoms of all times.

·#23 on Apple’s podcast chart in Australia, no wonder I’d never heard of him. I guess at least he’s 5 places above Dolly Parton and 8 above Bill Gates (for context, #1 is currently Stuff The British Stole)
‘Conduit to the Gaian Mind’ Hmmm, indeed, is that to do with ‘the entelechy of the planet via ayahuasca, without which we wander in a desert of bogus ideologies’?
He seems to be unpopular at the moment because he’s ‘sold out” to Spotify. Whatever, I’m open to new shows so I’ll give an episode a crack to see if it’s worth the move away from radio. Which one is best?

·I loved that show and have zero recollection of him on it.
He was the maintenance man for the station and had a penchant for conspiracy theories. Art imitates life or something............
