I wouldn't say it's dead. Spotify just renewed his contract.
I bet that's a huge payday for him.

I still find a lot of episodes I like, just don't bother with the MMA and most comedians.

Mad that they would pay him that much and then make it non-exclusive to Spotify again.

I assume that means it just didn’t bring the audience figures in to Spotify they expected.

I stopped listening a long time ago, in fact I would actively avoid anything to do with Joe Rogan now.

I'm in the same boat. I just get really turned off by the anti-government, Covid, Trump/Biden rants that seem to be a feature in all his podcasts now.

I'll check in to see who's on, but rarely can make it through. The alien ones aren't even fun anymore lol.

Still listening to the odd few. The latest one is pretty good. I no longer listen to many of the stand-ups. James English has taken over for me in the main

Can’t abide when Rogan has on comedians or the MMA show
As for J English some good guests but I wish he would stop interrupting his guests or oft on tangents about his past then positive energy and stuff

Are we talking about the same James English? (The Anything Goes Podcast) I've found him brilliant at letting the guest speak with just the odd nudge now and again if he thinks something's been missed. Much as I love JRE I'm finding him moving the convo back to hunting/JJ or whatever he's learnt recently (which is often complete BS)

English does have a lot of more interesting guests / stories

For some of the podcasts (not Rogan though) that Spotify bought exclusive rights to, listeners fell by up to 75%.

With Rogan, Spotify have worked out they can make more money by selling the ads on other platforms

I'm the same. Started listening to him in 2014 I think. Was when I started watching UFC and picked up on him from that. Was the first podcast I ever listened to, and the only one for quite a while. Now I listen to a few others, so I'm not sure if I'm bored of JRE or just have more choice. Probably a bit of both. Feels like it has lost something since he left LA to me.

I trained with Geoff many moons ago (still at a BCA club now) and was really looking forward to it when it came out. Fascinating guy, but as you say, that interview was hard work sadly.

A couple of good ones back to back, I'd recommend for very different reasons:

2151 - Rizwan Virk
This feels like classic JRE, without the culture wars, anti-vax stuff. It's 90% about the simulation theory. Very interesting discussion, without Joe steering the conversation off topic. The guy teaches a class sim theory at MIT, used to develop computer games, so he's got some good points and credibility.

2152 - Terrence Howard
This one is very entertaining. Kind of like a Kayne West, Jesus complex character, although far more likable! It is a little like the ramblings of someone with paranoid schizophrenia. Thinks he's figured out the universe. Maths is wrong. 1x1 = 2, not 1. Physics is wrong. Gravity doesn't exist. Thinks he's got patents for wild technology and perpetual motion machines. Really a wild ride and a load of fun. He's got a serious memory on him and an impressive ability to go on long word salad rants. He communicates utter nonsense in quite a coherent way, something to behold!

I might consider taking up pot to listen to that one.

Sounds like he's a guy with mental health issues - so just as well you couldn't understand him.

Howard definitely has some issues.

-physical abuse and harassment incidents
-falsehoods about his education

His 1 x 1 = 2 "logic" is truly laughable:

"How can it equal one?" he said. "If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told it's two, and that cannot be."
