The Know Rogan Experience
Cross Pond Productions
The Know Rogan Experience is a show where two podcasters with no previous Rogan experience get to know Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan is one of the most listened to people on the planet, whose interviews and opinions influence millions. He is regularly criticized for his views, often by people who have never actually listened to Rogan. So we listen to Joe Rogan, and, where needed, try to correct the record.
It’s the show for those who are curious about Joe Rogan, his guests, and their claims, as well as for anyone who just wants to understand Joe’s ever growing media influence.
