The ones with Carmack and an ex-pilot (regarding UFO) were interesting. Other than that I really didn't have any knowledge of. It's more of the people he interviewed then his channel.

It's even hard to listen to these. I have heard enough of Rogan's "Wow!" and "Really?" to last a lifetime.

Lex did one [1] with the same pilot that saw the ufo (commander fravor). I went from "no friggin way do they exist" to "shit... it actually sounds plausible".

yes, to some extent Rogan is a modern day Larry King. i.e. he's a very easy interview in that he allows his guests to say pretty much what they want without too much push back.

In general the easiest to way to make any one like you is to let them to all the talking, and sound like you ask interesting questions about their experiences, which make them and listening audience feel they are intelligent.

There are these anecdotes about Benjamin Disraeli that anybody who ever talked to him felt like they were the most intelligent person in Britain, and at times if there were a bunch people around him, they felt like they took turns being the most intelligent people in Britain.

I had no idea John Carmack had gone on the podcast.

John Carmack and James Hetfield are a couple of very interesting guests he had.
