His show, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” is known for its huge following , eclectic guest list and long conversations that can sometimes reach three hours. Published Tuesday, the Sanders interview outlining his platform has already reached 6.1 million views and spent part of the week as the No. 1 trending video on YouTube.
Rogan has been criticized for opening his large platform and noncombative interview style to individuals who push “alt-right” ideologies, including conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has appeared on the show multiple times.
