We've all heard the saying that you should read banned books, because there’s usually something in them that “they” don’t want people to see.
I think the same idea applies to censored or removed media on the internet.
I recently came across this list of removed JRE episodes and decided to look into who the guests were and what topics they discussed. Below is a short recap for anyone interested in conspiracy theories, media criticism, UFOs, alternative narratives, political corruption, or fringe discussions.
Disclaimer: I’m aware that Joe Rogan has received a lot of criticism in recent years for allegedly becoming more controlled or “bought out,” depending on your perspective. Most of these episodes come from an earlier era of JRE, before many people believe the show became more heavily moderated or censored. Obviously, stay skeptical and think for yourself, but I still think these older episodes capture a version of Rogan that felt more open to unconventional conversations and controversial guests.

It’s a bit sad, some of these were very good episodes.
One of the big reassons he probably went to Spotify. YouTube went through a phase (worse than it is now) of censoring everything that upset the perpetually offended crowd.
Is there anywhere I can find these
Wtf ever happened to Eddie Bravo? Did Joe just ditch him?
Someone already asked but Im asking again to keep it at the top. Is there anywhere to watch these episodes?
