My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩
What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?
Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.
My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!
[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]
Thank you!
Funny that you want a muscular male host, 😅
Currently my most favourite podcast is Andrew Huberman’s, which would probably fit the muscular male criteria.
It’s also very progressive in the sense that it is basically about science-based protocols to become a healthier human being both physically and mentally.
I strongly recommend listening on YouTube with sponsorblock if possible.
So far, the only truly bad episode was the one with Zuckerberg (that I have found) because, you know, there is really not much to learn from him, specially considering the topics of the podcast.
Oh, I just saw your comment about him, 😅, always interested in seeing evidence on his fakeness.
They finished building the road they knew no one would ever use.
So now everyone that has been on Joe Rogan is a right wing fascist? Cause I couldn’t imagine Neil deGrasse Tysson like that.
In terms of the pseudoscience and supplements… It clearly shows people don’t watch his stuff. I am SURE it’s not perfect, but most of it is clearly WELL referenced on the show description, and anything that hasn’t been officially approved he states that clearly with CONSTANT warnings to PLEASE CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL.
I hate Joe Rogan. I hate fascist propaganda. Yes, Huberman makes money with his podcast, all podcasts are business, all big ones, at least.
All the claims about his personal life seem to me like journalists trying to come up with vector attacks to a famous figure for clicks, just like it happens with any other celebrity.
Yeah, he may be a terrible boyfriend, but Einstein married his cousin and Oppenheimer was a cheater and we live in this amazing (or horrible) world thanks to them.
The blue parrot drove by the hitchhiking mongoose.
You cannot take an article and say it’s true and therefore “Andrew bad”. It doesn’t work like that. I’ve seen that article a million times already. It presents no proof, it’s just a reddit comment as an article for clicks.
The sunscreen thing, here’s the first link that comes up when you search online:
In any case I am sure he wasn’t saying ALL SUNSCREEN IS BAD but you know, people are going to build up their stories.
No, his personal life isn’t relevant if all he does in his podcast is condense evidence about a subject, with all relevant sources right there.
Whenever he saw a red flag warning at the beach he grabbed his surfboard.
Good journalism would be an article going through all the papers from the Huberman podcasts and his analysis of them (which he always cites if it’s been peer-reviewed, etc) and debunking all the misinformation. But nope. It’s all about talking to enough people hoping they say some crap about the personal life about a private person, cherry picking information and building up a story from that.
The sunscreen thing, I just passed the first link that came to me, showing that in fact there is proof of bad agents in sunscreen.
If you go check the video of Huberman and sunscreen, very easy to find, you’ll see how he literally says that sunscreen is important because you don’t want to get cancer, it’s just that SOME SUNSCREEN has been found to have toxic components that may cross the blood-brain barrier, and he simply advices to BUY A GOOD SUNSCREEN.
See how this “journalism” works? They pick those little things and extrapolate into madness instead of doing actual work. Because why would you do the actual journalism if there is an easier way to get clicks?
And I am sure one could find some contradicting science to Huberman’s podcasts and I would LOVE to see that. In fact, I think Huberman would love that too. That’s science!!
Random words in front of other random words create a random sentence.
First of all: yes, science is about constantly trying to disprove hypotheses. That is what the guys at CERN are doing, that is what people at Stanford are doing. What else could it be?
If you think Huberman is giving these people a right to spout off scientific matters and that’s horrible, then we should cancel Veritasium, we should cancel Sabine Hossenfelder, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox, MinutePhysics, VSauce, all TED speeches, damn, BURN every science book and magazine, cause it is making people have opinions about these evil things!!

Huberman just got outed as a big time aerial cheater and quasi bogus scientist just FYI. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/andrew-huberman-podcast-stanford-joe-rogan.html
OMG that is a long, paywalled read. Do I have to go through all that? Will try, tho, and report back.
It’s really worth it.
Just got done reading it. (Try adding “12ft.io/” before the URL for a better experience).
Please, everyone, read it fully.
Why does 95% of the text focus on his personal life? What about the podcast’s credibility?
There are countless clips of Joe Rogan showcasing his ignorance. Show me Huberman’s lies or dangerous advice.
I’m not defending Andrew, but his content is mostly well-reviewed and delivered with delicacy for such complicated topics. If you have SEEN otherwise, tell me.
Again, don’t link to articles about his personal life, because now I sadly know all of it and it bores me to death 😅
The fact he doesn’t actually use the lab and it kind of has folded is something worth noting. Also wouldn’t you think from the article he’s pretty dishonest?
So Veritasium is also a liar because they don’t have a lab? I am not going to comment on personal life issues unless there is a legal case there, which there isn’t, so the probability of it being bullshit for clicks is high.
