Lots, if not all, of those people are available by themselves though and usually in much better form. To use a famous example, watching Musk's talk on Neuralink, or the orignal MCT/ITS talk was fascinating, but watching him "smoke" weed or pronounce the name of his kid is pretty boring.

For anyone that enjoys the medical / health guests on Rogan's podcast, I'd recommend "The Peter Attia Drive" podcast. (Not to be confused with Peter Attia's appearance on Rogan's podcast).

Many of the same guests are on both, but on Attia's, they are speaking to an MD and start at a way higher level.

It's a great fit for my 100/200 college level basic understanding of biology and chemistry, it usually starts from there and goes up. There's quite a bit I don't follow exactly because of that, but I certainly prefer that than a dumbed down version of everything.

99.9% of people listening to JRE have no idea what the ‘original MCG/ITS talk’ is. Rogan’s usefulness is that he is often the first exposure to a person or idea.

Agreed, but those were not the only things Musk did in each of those episodes and they contained a lot of content (that didn't involve just smoking weed) that was probably interesting to people outside of the HN crowd who wouldn't watch Musks's actual Neuralink presentation or the original MCT/ITS talk.
