What inspires me most about the success of Joe Rogan's podcast has less to do with Joe Rogan himself than with how it proves that there's an audience for the kind of long-format current affairs coverage that the big mainstream platforms, and their increasing emphasis on memeable soundbites and self-congratulatory gotcha questions, seem capable of providing. So if nothing else, it'll put pressure on them to either up their game or fall even further into irrelevance.
