[QUOTE="heavy, post: 531997, member: 5620"] Rogan is...and somehow it's taken me a long time to realize this, being a huge fan...the best interviewer I've ever heard. Listen to his first Randall Carlson interview. Or that Peterson interview. Or when he has multiple guests on getting drunk / high. Not sure how many of you guys are sports fans, but I've always thought Dan Patrick is great. And he is a great interviewer. But he's no Rogan. Part of it is his medium. Rogan's only medium is podcast, and he takes up to 3-4 hours if that's what it takes to talk to someone. (he says this many times, how he thinks he somehow generically tapped into something valuable, the long drawn out conversation that people want) And it's great. He has a gift. I'm not a big fan of his stand up. But his interviews. If he has someone with less content, he'll fill the space with witty remarks and little tangents. He mixes in serious and humor. And again, if he has somebody like Carlson or Peterson or Alex Jones, he let's them go and knows right when to cut them off or re-direct or focus in or zoom out to keep the conversation interesting and informative. I swear without having counted, he'll let guests go for 20 minutes without interruption if they're being informative/interesting. I know I sound like the biggest fan, but I'm simply stating the fact. I have plenty of times, maybe more often than not, where I disagree or think he's being a moron...but he's hands down the best interviewer I've ever heard.
