What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?
I know of someone who says they listen to Joe Rogan podcasts (political I assume) but I don't know what this means or what the connotations are. Both this person and I live in east asia.

He's a wrestler that became a podcaster. At the time his podcasts gained popularity because he was able to get very high echelon guests and he would have a very simple conversation with them. It was new at the time.
As time goes on things got muddy. He's a bit of a doofis who likes to say things without thinking, and some people claim that he is irresponsible with what he says because he has a large platform . Two people having a poorly thought out natural conversation becomes something different when it's being broadcast to millions of people.
In the US he has become associated with the "right wing". He has a bit of a cult of personality following him. People lable his fans as "dude-bros" who think they're smart, but aren't.
Personally I think that just like Howard Stern's interviews, they shouldn't be taken as informational, but can be entertaining. He does have a lot of interesting guests. I treat podcasts like these like I'm going to the zoo. The animals are interesting, but that's about it.

That's too much. He was an entertainer, always has been, always will be.
Whether that was wrestling, interviewing, hosting X Factor or saying n**** with his pals while goofing around microphones in 2009.
