In 2024, Spotify’s annual "Wrapped" data revealed that The Joe Rogan Experience maintained its dominance as Australia’s favorite podcast, despite ongoing criticism from ABC chair Kim Williams. Rogan’s popular podcast featured prominent guests such as President-elect Donald Trump, his vice-presidential pick J.D. Vance, and tech mogul Elon Musk. It outperformed the well-regarded The Diary Of A CEO hosted by Steven Bartlett, and Andrew Huberman’s Huberman Lab, which secured the third spot. Williams has been publicly critical of Rogan, expressing his disdain for the influence of right-wing commentators, including Rogan, on societal narratives.

Following Williams’ remarks at a National Press Club event, he faced backlash on social media, receiving a flood of negative messages that echoed the polarization surrounding Rogan’s popularity. Williams characterized Rogan and other right-wing figures as opportunistic, asserting that they exploit societal fears and anxieties. He suggested that such commentators present fantasy outcomes and conspiracy theories as legitimate contributions to public discourse, which has sparked broader discussions about the influence of these media personalities on culture and politics.

Rogan’s response to Williams, encapsulated in the social media post "LOL WUT," garnered widespread attention, reigniting interest in the ongoing debate about media influence and the rise of the "manosphere." This term refers to a subset of online communities centered around men’s interests and issues, which some observers criticize for promoting toxic behavior and ideologies. Rogan’s platform, which often features controversial figures and topics, has been both lauded for its reach and critiqued for its potential to misinform.

Spotify’s list also showcased remarkable diversity in podcasting, with Casefile: True Crime being the sole Australian podcast in the top five. This highlights a growing appetite for true crime content among listeners. Additionally, Call Her Daddy, a sex advice and comedy podcast hosted by Alex Cooper, completed the list. Known for its contrasting themes to Rogan’s show, Call Her Daddy appealed primarily to female audiences and featured notable guests, including Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of her election campaign, marking a significant intersection of entertainment and politics.

Despite the stark differences in content and target demographics between these podcasts, the top-ranking positions on Spotify illuminate the varied tastes of Australian listeners. While Rogan’s podcast engages with high-profile guests in a more expansive commentary, Call Her Daddy focuses on personal narratives and relationship advice, fulfilling different niches in the podcast landscape. This discrepancy may reflect broader cultural discussions about masculinity, femininity, and the kind of media that resonates with audiences across gender lines.

The rivalry between Joe Rogan and Kim Williams symbolizes a larger cultural and media battle, with implications for the way public opinion is shaped. Williams’ critiques have not only highlighted the divisive nature of contemporary media but also underscored the responsibilities that come with such influential platforms. As podcasting continues to evolve, discussions about content credibility, audience engagement, and ethical storytelling will remain critical in understanding the dynamics of modern media consumption.
