I’m not gonna lie about having fallen in love with the new era of podcasting that revolves around the rogansphere, it gives me a bit of humanity while studying endlessly in my room.

However.

I’m not rich and or famous, which means I can’t really relate with whatever the fuck is on their agenda. Audemaris Piguet watches, 911 GT3RSs, 1.2M dollar houses an hour from austin, etc.

Which means

I 100% rather watch video essays made by normal people talk about what I’m thinking when I watch the “bro casts” which is usually “oh fuck off, why are y’all playing dick measuring contests” or “Jesus fucking Christ it is obvious you’re speaking through your ass, I hope someone grills you on everything you said wrong.”

It all translates to I miss the company of my high school friends, I don’t miss the gay jokes and having to sit quietly through their bullshit.

I'd like to recommend a few non-rogansphere podcasts:

  • LeVar Burton Reads - LeVar Burton picks a short story and reads it to you
  • Darknet Diaries - Jack Rhysider investigates events from the dark side of the internet (mostly cyber crime)
  • NPR: Up First - daily 15 minute top news stories
  • This Week in Tech - 2-3 hour group discussions of current events primarily focused on technology
  • risky.biz - great coverage of current events in the cybersecurity field, plus interviews with industry professionals

Obligatory Knowledge Fight shout out.

The Rogan-centric episodes might be a good place to start.
