Along with his work in MMA for UFC, Rogan also hosts his podcast called The Joe Rogan Experience, becoming an instant hit. Many people tune in on the UFC commentator's YouTube channel to watch the show, which included a wide range of guests, such as U.S. president Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and many others.

In a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan spoke to content creator Cody Tucker and revealed what made his show so famous, saying:

''Well that's how podcasts get good, that's what I started out doing with this. I never advertised this thing once. This thing got where it is 100% word of mouth...we started in 2009...But when I started, you know me and my friend Brian, when we started it, we weren't even thinking it was a podcast...Joey [Diaz] would be talking sh*t in the green room and we'd be having fun and you know, we'd just film it, just for fun.''
