Spanning over ten years, the Joe Rogan Experience is a podcast that has had over 1400 episodes and featured over 550 guests.

Hosting people from all walks of life including comedy, business, and journalism, Joe is never one at odds with finding topics for discussion. Many episodes are valuable for knowledge on technology, pop culture, and MMA, while others are just entertaining. When tuning in to an episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, listeners can be sure that they will be entertained and informed for up to three hours at a time.

The vast majority of guests are excellent communicators and everybody has a story to tell. However, with such a variety of people appearing on the show, and with the content focused on the stories of these individuals, episodes can sometimes take a dark turn.

10. Jon Ronson Getting Stalked By The Bilderberg Group

Appearing on JRE twice, Welsh writer Jon Ronson has discussed many stories revolving around his investigations.

From the antics of being associated with a pre-InfoWars Alex Jones, and the tragic tales of mental health issues amongst porn stars, Ronson reveals a daunting anecdote revolving around a meeting held by the elusive Bilderberg group, a secret organisation whom conspiracy theorists believe run the world.

Researching the group for Them: Adventures with Extremists and a 2001 Channel 4 documentary series, The Secret Rulers of the World, Ronson visited Portugal to cover the Bilderberg meeting. Posing as salesmen, Ronson and his contact, ‘Big’ Jim Tucker scouted the Caesar Park Hotel area the day before the assembly.

After leaving the area, Ronson realised he was being followed by a mysterious car. After engaging in a low-speed chase, Ronson pulled over to enquire the reason for the tail. The nondescript driver didn’t engage with the writer, leading to Ronson to conclude that they were ordered to follow and not engage.

Anxious over this event, Ronson phoned the British Embassy for assistance. The Embassy reassured him that if he was aware of being followed, the Bilderberg Group were just trying to intimidate him. If he was being followed and was unaware, that would be more of a cause for concern.
