Andrew Huberman Opens Up About Admiration for Joe Rogan

On a recent episode of his podcast, Huberman Lab, Andrew Huberman opened up about his thoughts on fellow podcaster Joe Rogan. 

"One of the main reasons why Rogan is the top podcast in the world," Huberman explained, "is because he has lots of different kinds of friends—and he can sit down with intellectuals, he can sit down with comics, he can sit down with criminals—he likes the understanding and communication with different kinds of people."

He continued, "His life is filled with these people outside of the studio, so he's very comfortable in the presence of anyone. You put anyone in front of him, and he can be genuinely interested in learning from them."

This profession of admiration isn't a complete shock— Huberman has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience multiple times and the two are known to be buddies. 

As podcast listeners know, both podcasts are highly successful. According to OLGB.com, Rogan stands as the favorite to remain Spotify's top global podcast of 2025. His odds to nab that title are seconded by Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, and Huberman Lab. 

In 2024, The Hollywood Reporter announced that The Joe Rogan Experience was the top podcast on Spotify for the fifth consecutive year. Call Her Daddy was second. 

In an interview, Jordan Newman, Spotify's head of content partnerships, shared, "I think there are a lot of new podcasts launched today that start with video... It definitely feels like it’s becoming an endemic part of the podcast industry for the right podcast that can support that sort of creative format.”

Many months remain before November, when Spotify is set to unveil its most successful podcast of 2025. As always, its success will depend not just on today’s cultural climate, but also on the caliber of its guests.
