Time released its list of The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time on Wednesday, and The Joe Rogan Experience did not make the cut. Some of the usual suspects, like Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy, Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert, and New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce claimed spots. Other picks included the recently launched Good Hang with Amy Poehler, Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Wiser Than Me, and WTF with Marc Maron, which is ending its 16-year run this fall. Social media users were most perplexed by Rogan’s omission. Time correspondent Eliana Dockterman explained the selection process in a separate article for the publication, “Much of collating this list, when it came to this particular breed of pod, involved sorting out who can conduct an insightful interview or piece together a compelling monologue from who is just a big name.” Rogan apparently did not fit that description, nor did acolytes Theo Von and Andrew Schulz. “Not defending Joe Rogan’s views whatsoever but we’re just kidding ourselves not including him,” wrote one representative observer responding to the list. The snubs weren’t only for the darlings of conservatives, however. Popular lefty podcasts Pod Save America and Chapo Trap House are also missing from the list. Time did acknowledge the podcaster’s influence when it named him one of its 100 Most Influential People this year.
