Joe Rogan has been podcasting for a long now. Although the JRE podcast had humble beginnings, his unconventional ways like inviting guests from diverse backgrounds and talking about a myriad of topics propelled him all the way to the top. And it would not be wrong to state that concurrently, he has a big hand in allowing the podcasting scene to stay relevant around the world.

Speaking of diversity in his guests, the 56-year-old boasts appearances from Business magnates to politicians and now even world-renowned hunters. The podcaster was already at the top of the list when it came to podcasts, and now three of his episodes are ranked in the top five. Interestingly, the highest-ranked podcasting episode is not about any business magnate, but rather about a hunter.

Upon Witnessing this, Cameron Hanes took to his Instagram handle to share a screenshot of the charts with a caption that read, ” Owning the charts… Only the #1 podcast in the world could take a discussion with 2 hunters on the top @joerogan is the undisputed goat on the mike.” The story was later reshared by Rogan.

Hanes has been a frequent guest at the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’, despite having his own podcasting channel as well as other ventures, Hanes doesn’t shy away from spending his time with the podcasting ‘GOAT.’ The Hunter even asserted that Rogan is one of the godfathers of the podcasting game.

In the latest episode of his podcast, #2068, Joe Rogan received the title “Godfather” of ͏the podcasting͏ realm from his guest, Cameron Han͏es͏. This recognition is not unexpected, especially considering Rogan’s recent monumental $250 million deal with Spotify at the age of 56.

However, Rogan asserted that he is not the ‘Godfather’ of podcasting. “I definitely am not. No. Adam Curry’s the Godfather. He’s the pod-father. He was doing like five years before me. At least five years for me,” giving all props to Curry, given his long-time podcasting.”
