When was Joe Rogan’s podcast?
December 24, 2009. ( December 24, 2009) – present. Website. podcasts .joerogan .net. The Joe Rogan Experience is a podcast hosted by American comedian and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan. It launched on December 24, 2009, by Rogan and comedian Brian Redban, who was its co-host and producer until 2013 when he was replaced by Jamie Vernon.
Vernon soon took over full time and Redban subsequently appeared on the podcast as a guest. Originally, the podcast was recorded at Rogan’s home in California. From November 24, 2011, some episodes were recorded at the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California, also known as the Deathsquad Studios.
In April 2019, Rogan said that the podcast had 190 million downloads each month. An annual Joe Rogan-inspired ” Sober October ” tradition started in 2017 has influenced some listeners to curb their addictions by partaking in the challenge.
A study conducted by Coleman Insights in 2019 with 1,000 monthly podcast listeners aged 18 to 64 revealed that The Joe Rogan Experience ranked the highest in the “unaided awareness” category, double that of any other podcast.
Redban accepted and relocated to California in the process, following Rogan with a camera and “recording everything”. After several years, Redban noticed that fans were demanding an increasing amount of content from Rogan and for it to be delivered faster.
The podcast has been described as “an important node of the intellectual dark web “, and has featured a diverse ideological mixture of political guests, including Democratic presidential candidates and conservative figures. In a more critical article for National Review, writer Theodore Kupfer wrote that the podcast, hosted by “A weed-smoking DMT -obsessive whose most cherished political cause is the quest to end male circumcision “, has become “one of the last bastions for civil discussion in contemporary America”.
The podcast originally began in early 2003 when Rogan hired Brian Redban, a self-taught video editor and an employee at a Gateway 2000 computer store in Ohio, to work for him full-time to film, produce, and edit videos for his website. Rogan had noticed video work that Redban did for comedian Doug Stanhope and invited him to film him and his group on stand-up comedy tours. Redban accepted and relocated to California in the process, following Rogan with a camera and “recording everything”. After several years, Redban noticed that fans were demanding an increasing amount of content from Rogan and for it to be delivered faster. This prompted the two to seek new ways of quickening what was a lengthy editing process to make their website and content more interactive. Coupled with his interest in popular live video streaming services of the time, Redban wanted “to do the same thing I was filming, but live,” and set up live streams on Justin.tv from the green room at Rogan’s various comedy gigs. Redban had no prior experience with audio engineering, so he taught himself how to operate the mixing board and microphone setups through his subsequent podcasts.
