Joe Rogan - suggestions to switch my sibling to better media (lemmy.world)

My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

It's really worth it.

Just got done reading it. (Try adding "12ft.io/" before the URL for a better experience).

Please, everyone, read it fully.

Why does 95% of the text focus on his personal life? What about the podcast's credibility?

There are countless clips of Joe Rogan showcasing his ignorance. Show me Huberman's lies or dangerous advice.

I'm not defending Andrew, but his content is mostly well-reviewed and delivered with delicacy for such complicated topics. If you have SEEN otherwise, tell me.

Again, don't link to articles about his personal life, because now I sadly know all of it and it bores me to death 😅

The fact he doesn't actually use the lab and it kind of has folded is something worth noting. Also wouldn't you think from the article he's pretty dishonest?

So Veritasium is also a liar because they don't have a lab? I am not going to comment on personal life issues unless there is a legal case there, which there isn't, so the probability of it being bullshit for clicks is high.
