10 Best Podcast Episodes Of 2019

10. The Joe Rogan Experience #1372 - Kevin Smith

To be honest, this list could easily just be filled with episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience. In a podcast world where we've all got our own particular tastes and interests, it seems unanimous that everybody loves The Joe Rogan Experience - as shown by the show's high ranking on podcast charts across the globe.

Rogan has offered up so many memorable episodes of his show across 2019, and one of the true highlights of The Joe Rogan Experience from the past year is Kevin Smith's return to the podcast this past October.

Smith himself is a legendary talker and host in his own right, and Rogan matches the filmmaker on that front. As such, just the idea of having these two in the same room is enough to get listeners excited. And in #1372 of The Joe Rogan Experience, Smith and Rogan didn't disappoint.

The Joe Rogan Experience has been used as a political platform, has been responsible for a drop in Tesla stock, and has even been cited as the main influence behind this year's 'Storm Area 51' campaign. What the podcast never fails to be, however, is an entertaining listen.

For Kevin Smith's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, there was plenty of talk about Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, yet there was a whole wider array of topics covered, such as Smith's heart attack and previous health issues, his longstanding bromance with Jason Mewes, and his genuine appreciation of his fanbase.
