These Are the Best 14 Joe Rogan Podcast Episodes of 2022

And after narrowing it down from 27 nominees, also see why neither Neil deGrasse Tyson nor Mark Zuckerberg made the list

The Joe Rogan Experience was filled with some big names in 2022 including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Aaron Rodgers, and Mark Zuckerberg. It was also the second full year of Joe Rogan’s $200 million Spotify contract. Perhaps most newsworthy was the attempted cancellation of his show for alleged Covid misinformation, the notoriety of which actually gained him 2 million new subscribers.

All in all, controversy included, the Joe Rogan Experience in 2022 continued to consistently deliver the value that brought the show its success in the first place: long-form conversations with a diverse range of people driven by Joe’s innate curiosity.

Below, I list 14 of my favorite episodes of the year in chronological order, subjectively evaluated by a mix of conversational rapport, educational value, humor, and new perspectives. I did not include some great repeat guests like Dr. Phil, Theo Von, Mike Tyson, Andrew Huberman, David Goggins, Daryl Davis, Tulsi Gabbard, and Dakota Meyer because I think their first appearances and introductions were more compelling.
