Joe Rogan is the host of the biggest podcast in the world. The Joe Rogan Experience’, averages almost 11 million viewers per episode. This is partly due to the 55-year-old commentator-podcaster inviting people from various walks of life. This gives the show an interesting edge and helps the audience constantly engage with very interesting topics.

Joe Rogan recently had Hollywood star Jon Bernthal as the guest on his podcast for episode #1916. Rogan talked about his way of holding interesting conversations with various guests. He stated that the key to having a great conversation depends on the type of person the guest is. Rogan said, “Depends entirely on the person. With a comedian, there’s no preparation. But maybe I’ll listen to their podcast.”

He said, “But I’ve had a few where I took a chance on authors and have them come in. Unfortunately, they talk the same way they write, where, you know, people write, they’re very deliberate and slow, and sometimes people talk deliberate and slow. That’s brutal.”
