It may just be the interviews I am watching but I don't see the interviews Rogan does with the guests I care nothing about and don't want to even listen to (including the conspiracy theorist-type of guests). It's generally the celebrities.
In Rogan's standards he's able to extract information from guests. Good interviewing from my standpoint means that someone like Rogan is able to get the truth out, even if he does show he doesn't have much understanding of certain things and goes off in tangents.
Howard Stern on the other hand I will say is a far better interviewer and more professional, even more inquisitive.
That's one part of good interviewing, and I agree that Rogan is good in that area, I certainly don't think its the entirety of it and depending on who the person is and what they say not the most important part of it. And where Rogan fails miserably is that the subjects his interviews often veer into him and/or his guest don't have a great factual grasp of and him or them will wind up saying wildly untrue things. A better interviewer would have a better grasp of the subject matter he's talking about so that he doesn't say untrue things and doesn't allow the person he's talking to to say untrue things unchecked.
You make valid points. I'll just say that when I'm looking for the best kind of interviews, I typically don't go to Rogan. But there are entertaining ones he's done, especially with comedians like Pauly Shore with discussion about Nicolas Cage.
I think those are good examples where his interview style is at its best, people who are pretty interesting but also not particularly controversial (I wouldn't say Kamala is a controversial person, but I think you get the point I'm trying to make). Its when he delves outside of those types of people or outside of trying to understand a person's life and general perspective that it can start to get rough.
