Following the election, there has been online chatter about the impact of podcasts on the election results.

Male Voters: In the final days of the campaign, Trump went on many male-oriented podcasts, including Adin Ross, Theo Von, and Joe Rogan's podcasts. The Joe Rogan Experience was the most listened to podcast in 2024 with 14.5 million listeners—80% of listeners are men. Trump won the men's vote, leaving Democrats wondering how to better appeal to young men. 

Joe Rogan's Views: Left leaning late night host Jon Stewart said in response to whether the left needs its own Joe Rogan, "I think that's oversimplifying Joe Rogan," adding, "I don't know what I would necessarily classify him as he has some ideas that I think are wildly progressive." Rich Lowry (Right bias) mentioned Rogan was once a Bernie Sanders supporter, and "a key aspect of Rogan-type influencers is that they question authority." He added, "woke Democrats" could never embrace such a figure. 

The Path Forward: Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker said, "I don't think that the Democratic Party can podcast itself out of this issue. Joe Rogan, he endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020, maybe they should do an autopsy on why he left the party." Piker argued the Democrats need to adopt left-wing populist policy change. A New York Magazine (Left bias) writer argued that Democrats should engage in left wing alternatives to Rogan-types, like Piker, as well as engage more with Rogan-types, whose audiences often have politically fluid opinions.
