10 Joe Rogan Podcasts With The Most Thumbs Up
6. #1191 - Peter Boghossian & James Lindsay
A consequence of running a hugely successful podcast featuring an entirely diverse cast of guests from various socio-economic and political backgrounds is that Joe is often subjected to detractors trying to paint him as a political extremist on one side or the other, depending on who is making the accusation.
Despite this, some of Joe's most popular guests have come from backgrounds attempting to expose inequalities surrounding certain worldviews, particularly in academia.
When Peter Boghossian and James Lindsay appeared on the show last year they had recently completed a project referred to as the Grievance Studies Affair where they had sent in bogus papers into academic journals. They did this to prove their belief that bad science was taking place in several academic fields based on ideological biases.
This episode of the podcast goes into details about the hoax and offers a hilarious if slightly worrying, picture of the biases that are corrupting certain parts of academia.
