Abstract

This paper outlines a cultural critique of the Joe Rogan Experience. Framing the podcast as an adaptive cultural platform, I emphasize how it is ideologically informed by both the established infrastructure and dynamics of communicative capitalism and Joe Rogan’s ethos as a comedian. The paper discusses three ways Joe Rogan and his format negotiate their relationship with platform infrastructures. The first is Rogan’s relationship with Spotify and his interest in shaping “cancel discourses” and, subsequently, his own role as an embedded, “uncancellable” skeptic. The second is the combination of Rogan’s roast universalism and pioneering speech-a-ton format, designed to establish an infrastructure for platforming his cohort of podcasting comedians on YouTube. The third is Rogan’s relationship with platform-owner Elon Musk, whose communicative capitalist agenda has political implications. The paper establishes a theoretical connection between studies of platformisation and the under-studied cultural influence of podcasting comedians.
乔-罗根体验平台化:取消文化、喜剧和基础设施
本文概述了对《乔-罗根体验》的文化批判。我将播客定格为一个适应性文化平台,强调它在意识形态上是如何受到传播资本主义既有基础设施和动力以及乔-罗根作为喜剧演员的精神影响的。本文讨论了乔-罗根及其节目形式与平台基础设施协商关系的三种方式。首先是罗根与 Spotify 的关系以及他对塑造 "取消话语 "的兴趣,随后是他自己作为一个嵌入式的、"不可取消的 "怀疑论者的角色。其次是罗根的 "烤肉普遍主义 "与开创性的 "演讲一吨"(speech-a-ton)形式的结合,旨在为他在 YouTube 上的播客喜剧演员群建立平台基础设施。第三是罗根与平台所有者埃隆-马斯克(Elon Musk)的关系,后者的传播资本主义议程具有政治含义。本文在平台化研究与对播客喜剧演员的文化影响研究不足之间建立了理论联系。
