I don't really care who Rogan has on or doesn't (though I'm annoyed he's deplatformed Gavin McInnes for financial reasons).
My skepticism is more related to the fact that a millionaire on a nine-figure corporate exclusivity deal is still pretending that he's running his podcast like a side hustle from his basement.
It is just possible that by claiming he does it all himself he's preventing the people screaming for blood to draw it from someone else. Which they would certainly do if he said anything other than "I do it all myself".
Better they go after the guy making 9 figures than someone making 5.
Press F to doubt
Even if it's not true he's not throwing some staffer under the bus, which is worthy of some respect.

I think that's too charitable.
A big part of Rogan's shtick is playing down how ungodly rich he actually is to pretend he's just a regular meathead guy.
I prefer pre-scandal Louis CK's honesty
