This Joe Rogan 'Problem'

 Over the past hundred days...I've sat and tried to figure out this whining about the Joe Rogan podcast 'problem'.  The people trying to make the discussion....want you to know that Joe is crazy, irrational, believing in dragons, giving you tons of misinformation, and you should turn him off.

On my hours per month, following a Rogan podcast?  I probably put in 10 hours a month.  To be honest, there's between 15 to 20 podcast folks I follow.  

Why?  They follow this simple format.....it's like sitting on a rural southern porch, with two WW II vets....talking over 'action' and you get to hear this discussion.  I don't need to participate....they will carry the talk themselves.

The fact that I listen to science, medicine, technology, lost Indian tribes, alien-chatter, tourism, wiccan-BS, Catholic and Voo-Doo similarities?  Well....it's a vast landscape.

So here's the thing....to counter Joe....the Democrats need some liberal Joe-character.  The trouble? Whoever  ends up in this 'drama'....needs to occasionally talk about leper colonies, dragons, wrestling, and ghosts.   I just don't see such a liberal Democrat like that existing.

The democrats also need a Rush Limbaugh back in the day as well. They keep coming up short on all accounts.

I remember that.....some entire radio network. Thought it lasted 2 years, with them admitting marginal profits, and most radio stations dumping the carry-status because no one listened. I listened to an hour of it....no humor....just pure blunt politics.
