What would Christopher Hitchens say about Joe Rogan and his $200 million podcast empire built on performed ignorance? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens’ razor-sharp wit and uncompromising intellect are unleashed on the man who monetized “I don’t know, man” into America’s most influential media platform.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dismantles Rogan’s formula of platforming cranks alongside scholars with equal enthusiasm, exposing how he treats YouTube conspiracies as equivalent to peer-reviewed research. He reveals how Rogan hides behind “I’m just a comedian” while offering medical advice to millions, showing the selective nature of his free speech absolutism.
Join us as we explore how Hitchens’ fearless defense of reason and expertise might confront the most successful ignorance salesman in American history.
