I will say that Rogan is NOT a journalist. He provides a platform that puts the subject at ease. He summarizes an unclear point in the most gracious way possible. He asks no hard questions nor points out uncomfortable contradictions nor corrects important misrepresentations of facts. It's a chat; not an interview.
Discussion
Absolutely. I think that's what makes it work so well. You probably get a better idea of who the person is through this medium than through a normal interview.
