Joe Rogan - suggestions to switch my sibling to better media (lemmy.world)

My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

Make him watch early Joe Rogan content. Back when he actually had an open mind and interesting guests.

Back when he used to be curious about his guests.

I just listened to about 50% of his last episode with Tulsi Gabbard. You know, the Presidential candidate? The whole episode, the entire thing at least up to the 1:45 mark where I gave up, was Joe ranting about shit and Tulsi saying “yeah”.
