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!
Behind the Bastards
Seconding this rec, seems like a good fit
The Weeds and The Gray Area are also decedent topic driven interviews. Except generally with actual experts and well researched interviewers.
In the same CoolZone Media vein, Hood Politics might fit the bill as well.
I finally gave this a shot and I’m really enjoying it. I just finished the release of his deep dive on Kissinger. I left a comment in this thread and only excluded BtB because I saw that you had already recommended it. I’ll say here that there are related entries that are also good, like Behind the Police and Assault on America, but those are like limited miniseries. I think every American should listen to Behind the Police to understand the history of policing in America and see how straight of a line there really is to draw between their start as slave catchers to what they are now.
BtB is pretty good, and the Kissinger series was great. Check out the Jack Welch series. I think it’s titles the guy who killed capitalism or the reason you were laid off. Something like that. Very good episodes.
I think that was the first one I checked out! Excellent recommendation!
