"We need a left-wing Joe Rogan" has been the refrain since the election. Apparently this was the Podcast Election.
You had a left-wing Joe Rogan. It was Joe Rogan, who endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020 and made AOC quiet-quit his campaign. There was also Chapo Trap House, and everyone hated them, too.
And then there was Air America, the original "we need left-wing talk radio" gambit. My dad always made me listen to them on weekends, especially the Sunday night show, which starred RFK Jr.
i listened to marc maron--he had the morning show i think? and janeane garofalo. it was actually decent to listen to, kind of like a rebel npr.
"we need a left wing joe rogan" reminds me of when fox news tried to do their own "daily show". how the turn tables.
