Joe Rogan doesn’t have a very complicated condition that needs fulfillment for someone to be invited to the podcast. Recently, on an episode with UFC bantamweight champ Sean O’Malley and his coach Tim Welch. Welch opened up the conversation, asking about the guests Rogan has on the podcast and how long it takes to decide on a guest.

“It’s pretty far and advanced. Most of the time is that it’s booked and it’s all booked on my interests,” said Rogan. “So it’s a 100% on what I’m interested in. It’s like all I do is look at the potentials. Sometimes I reach out to people.” In his trade, a lot of potential personalities want to be guests.

That means Rogan gets a lot of people asking him to let them be on an episode. “And sometimes it’s just they’ll send the email and it goes through my guy and it gets filtered back to me. And he sends the ones that are relevant and I look at those . . . I just look [at] what interests me.”

Clearly, the podcaster has his priorities set in the right spot. Things just become easier and naturally more entertaining if he has guests he’s interested in talking to. This paired up with the easy-go flow of the conversations is what’s made the podcast such a sensation among fans. The conversations can last from anywhere between one hour to three or even five hours at once.

But for Rogan, it all depend on what he’s interested in. Nothing else stand ahead of that reason. As long as it suits him, he’ll do as many episodes as he’d like.

“One day I’d be talking to Eddie Bravo, we’d just be fu*king around, talking sh*t,” Rogan started. and the next day I’d be talking to some super scientist, mathematicians, and geniuses and psychologists.”
