It's because he doesn't silence opposing opinions, he welcomes them. More news organizations and websites should learn from this strategy.

It's funny when people try to associate him with whoever he brings on the show. One day he will be a neo-nazi and the next he will be part of Antifa.

With the many thousands of podcast hours, what people choose to 'hear' often reveals a lot about them. This author likes to feel outraged and superior to those who don't agree with him.

As he puts it: If we all have fatal flaws, this is Joe’s: his insistence on seeing value in people even when he shouldn’t, even when they’ve forfeited any right to it, even when the harm outweighs the good.

That's just it, everyone has value and you can usually learn something if you'd stop being so judgmental.

Joe is one of the great interviewers of our time. His genuine curiosity enables the conversation to unfold naturally so you get to know the guests good and bad traits and they are revealed honestly without an agenda so you're free to come to your own conclusions.

I hope the all the presidential candidates will be guests on the podcast. Yang and Gabbard(s) are particularly good if you want to learn more about them.
