When Douglas Murray confronted Joe Rogan about the impact of giving a platform to controversial opinions

While Joe Rogan's discussions on conspiracy theories have sparked significant controversies, he often maintains that he is simply facilitating a conversation and that listeners of his podcast must use their own judgment to form opinions.

However, British commentator and cultural critic Douglas Murray raised concerns about Rogan's approach during his appearance on 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast in April 2025, stating:

“I feel you’ve opened the door to quite a lot of people. You’ve now got a big platform and have been throwing out counter-historical stuff, but a very dangerous kind.” [0:01]

He continued, expressing his concerns:

"The problem is... because your own platform has come about because you're a very successful comedian and much more, and you do ask questions, and you are interested. But there are a lot of people who have come along, partly, I think, because they have come on this show, who have come along and they've decided, 'I can play this double game. On the one hand, I'm going to push really edgy, and frankly, sometimes, horrific opinions. And then, if you say that's wrong, they say, 'Oh, I'ma comedian.'" [3:01]
