They are both passionate people whose articulation is rife with some distinct regional and broadcast (ie. radio) shibboleths.

Only one of them is a post truth raving lunatic dangerous populist performance artist shill.

You're doing a disservice to Dan Carlin and giving Alex Jones way too much power/credit by justifying a knee jerk bias based on superficial resemblances.

I once came across a podcast that seemed interesting. I was enjoying the content, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the narrator's voice sounded like a friend who committed suicide. I had to turn it off.
