10 Best Podcast Episodes Of 2019

In the history of podcasts, there have been few that were as hotly anticipated as Edward Snowden appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience.

Rogan is one of the most charismatic and outright entertaining people in the podcast game, period, and he always poses the perfect mix of fluff, fun, and hard-hitting questions to the guests on his Experience show. So, when whistleblower Edward Snowden was announced as doing an extremely rare interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, there was the potential for something legendary.

After listening to the near-three-hour interview, it's enough to make you instantly flush your smartphone down the toilet - with the government tracing your every move thanks to your trusty mobile device.

The deep dive that Joe Rogan did with Edward Snowden was a terrifying one at times, yet it was one of the most eye-opening, informative interviews of the past decade or more.
