The Joe Rogan Experience is a popular long-form podcast hosted by comedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, featuring interviews with diverse guests on politics, science, and culture. It was initiated on December 24, 2009, on YouTube by Rogan and comedian Brian Redban, who served as its sole co-host and producer until 2012. Jamie Vernon was hired in 2012 to co-produce and eventually took over production. By 2015, it became one of the world's most popular podcasts, regularly receiving millions of views per episode and attracting millions of listeners. Guests have included business magnate Elon Musk, whistleblower Edward Snowden, Senator Bernie Sanders, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, and former President Donald Trump. From December 2020 to February 2024, the podcast was exclusively available on Spotify, with highlights uploaded to the main Joe Rogan Experience YouTube channel. It was originally recorded at Rogan's home in California, later moved to a private studio in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, and production relocated to Austin, Texas, after the 2020 Spotify deal.
