Doesn't Bernie Sanders have a podcast? Think they should just use his.

Part of the reason I mentioned Conover was the extreme coincidental similarities. Rogan thought being a meathead was being a comedian. Adam Conover actually is a comedian. Both have been TV personalities good or bad. Both have podcasts where they invite on interesting people and have discussions.

The problem with Sanders are largely things out of his control. Things like his age. And his duty to his constituents. Being a media personality would likely get in the way of serving the people who elected him and I think that's a no-go for him.
