Ash and Kane discuss The Joe Rogan Experience podcast and what we can learn from Joe Rogan and the success of the show. They share the ways it follows the trends we now recognise as important, such as authenticity and the things Joe Rogan does in the show that are unusual. They also reveal how much The Joe Rogan Experience earns and the power Joe Rogan holds, including his influence over the most recent US election by interviewing Donald Trump.
