Joe Rogan podcast guest reveals how much you're paid for appearing on the show after signing 'legal document'

A guest on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast has revealed what it’s like to be on the show – and how much guests get paid.

Rogan has released over 2000 episodes of the podcast since 2009, including interviewing the likes of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Mike Tyson and Aaron Rodgers.

The UFC commentator speaks to his celebrity guests about a wide variety of subjects, from sports to comedy and science, and produces long form episodes from hours of interviews.

It allows Rogan and his guest to cover a lot of ground, although details of one episode that never aired because it went so far off track have now been revealed.

Cosmologist Brian Keating was a guest on the show last year, and has written about his experience.

Among some of the other backstage details, Keating explained that he had to sign a waiver and that he received no payment for his guest spot.

Writing on his website, Keating explained: “Arriving at the podcast studio was unlike anything I’ve experienced.

“You sign a waiver of all rights under the Geneva Convention, and then the wait for Joe begins. In case you’re wondering, guests are not compensated in any way for their appearance on the JRE.”

Keating was full of praise for Rogan’s interview style and attention to detail, which he believes is the reason behind the success of the podcast.

But he revealed that Rogan had an unusual exit strategy.

Added Keating: “Joe is an excellent conversationalist, 100% focused, and attention is most important. He comes off as avuncular with folks junior to him, as I still am. He’s the dominant force in podcasting, with each episode eclipsing the previous episode as the world’s most famous episode as soon as it drops.

“He comes off as a character but can be deadly serious. When it was all over, we posed for a few pictures, and then he left for the bathroom, which was, I realized in hindsight, his form of Irish goodbye! I didn’t see him again.”
