Like questioning scientists because they eat at MacDonald's, shit like that. With Coronavirus, this has happened way more often. But he often has great guests on, and I learn quite a bit from following them afterwards.
Another good one is What A Cartoon! which has 2 hour long retrospectives on individual cartoon series, focusing on one episode. So they'll talk about the history of how the show was created, who worked on it, etc, and then recap the episode. Great stuff,they go over all my old favourites. Still waiting on a Gummi Bears episode though
Also been listening to Around the NFL since I became a fan in 2012. Same hosts the entire time, and they have a great rapport. Often funny, and they avoid the typical "sports talk" bullshit. They don't try to play of controversy, but also don't shy from it when it happens. They don't pretend to be experts on everything and don't pretend to know how everything is going to go. Pretty much the perfect sports show for me.
All the other podcasts I listen to are videogame related. I'm sure everyone who is into games has their own favourites. I listen to Rebel FL, Retronauts, Giant Bomb, 8-4 Play
And Wrestling Observer but that's subscription based. Been a subscriber since 2002 I think

Yeah I agree, Joe Rogan can be opinionated at times, especially when it comes to things like exercise and weed. He's quite subtle with it too - rather than explicitly disagreeing with the person, he'll just question the heck out of them lol. He always brings interesting guests though and that's honestly why I listen too.
I recently just listened to a podcast called Rabbit Hole, which so far talks about how the internet (ie. youtube) feeds our addiction through algorithms and actually brainwashes us. It's told through a real-life case study with commentary, so it's quite the cliffhanger!
