I get the question, “How do I make a podcast like Joe Rogan?” Please let me put my tongue in my cheek and answer this question.
Joe did the following to prepare for his podcast:
1988: Started doing comedy in Boston
1994: Moves to LA six years after to do television (including News Radio)
1997: Start working with the United Fighting Championship (nine years after starting)
2000: Releases first stand up special released (12 years after he started)
2001: Start hosting Feat Factor on TV (NBC)
2003: Takes over hosting The Man Show on Comedy Central
2003: Also involved with Last Comic Standing television show.
2006: Goes back to comedy
2009: Launches his podcast
Watch Joe do an interview and he makes it look easy. He is a very INTENSE listener, and you might think all you have to do is ask some people some questions, but it’s just not that easy. There is a lot of prep involved in doing interviews. Joe’s background in comedy and working in clubs for years gives him the ability to think on his feet.
Do you have to wait 21 years to start your podcast? No, but if you want someone to consume your content in 20 years and think, “They make it look so easy” you do need to start now. You can help anyone with your message in your head. You can change the world with a recording on your hard drive.
