    Who Should Joe Rogan Interview Next? Vote on the Guests JRE Fans Actually Want
    In one paragraph Joe Rogan guests don't just get picked by producers guessing at what listeners want. On dLogos, fans vote for who they want to hear next on The Joe Rogan Experience, and the board is public: the current leader has 1,179 votes from people who took the time to say so. This post walks through who's leading the board right now, how the voting actually works, and how to add your own pick if the guest you want isn't listed yet.

    01 / The BoardWhere fans vote on Joe Rogan guests right now

    The Joe Rogan Experience is the biggest podcast on the planet by a wide margin: it ranked as Spotify's #1 global podcast for the sixth year running in 2025, and that same year it topped Apple's and YouTube's charts too, the first time one show has led all three at once, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In the U.S. specifically, Edison Research had JRE as the top podcast for Q1 2026, already more than two and a half times the size of the second-place show by the end of 2025, as reported by Forbes.

    A show with that much reach gets more requests than any single producer could ever sort through. Rogan's YouTube channel alone has grown to 21 million subscribers and 6.6 billion total views across more than 2,500 episodes, according to figures compiled on Wikipedia. At that scale, a suggestion left in a comment section or shouted at the account on social media has almost no way of standing out from everything else competing for attention.

    That's exactly the gap dLogos's JRE nomination page fills. Instead of hoping a name gets noticed, fans nominate a specific person and vote on the nominations that already exist. Every vote is public and attached to a real name, both the voter's pick and the guest being requested, so the page becomes a running, sortable record of Joe Rogan guests fans actually want. It works the same way across the platform's other shows too, which you can browse from the main podcasts directory if you follow more than one.


    02 / StandingsWho's leading the JRE guest requests board

    As of this writing, the top of the board looks like this:

    Behind them sits a long tail of smaller but still active nominations, from independent researchers to political figures, each with its own vote count climbing or stalling depending on how hard its supporters push. None of these numbers are static. A nominee sitting at 20 votes today can pass one sitting at 300 within a week if the right group of fans decides to rally around it, which is a big part of why checking back on the board is worth doing more than once.

    A nomination only one person has seen is still a private wish. A nomination with 1,179 people behind it is a public case a producer can't easily ignore. — Why the vote count matters

    03 / MechanicsHow Joe Rogan interview requests turn into votes

    The mechanics are simple by design. Anyone can search the nomination page for a guest that's already been suggested and add a vote, or, if the person they want isn't there yet, start a new nomination in a couple of minutes. Once it exists, other fans can find it, vote on it, and attach the specific questions they'd want that guest asked if the episode happens. The full steps are laid out in the nomination guide, but the short version is: search, nominate if it's missing, vote, then keep an eye on where it lands.

    This is different from a poll or a one-off comment. Votes persist. They don't reset after 24 hours the way a Twitter poll does, and they don't get buried under a wall of replies the way a YouTube comment does within a day of posting. A nomination that picks up 40 votes in its first week and another 150 over the following month builds a visible track record that a producer or booker can actually point to, which matters more than most fans realize, since JRE, at this scale, is fielding far more requests than any one team could read individually.

    The questions attached to a nomination matter almost as much as the vote count itself. A guest listed with no context is just a name. A guest listed with three or four specific, well-formed questions fans want answered starts to look like an actual episode brief, and that's a different pitch than a producer gets from a cold suggestion with nothing behind it.

    For the full breakdown of how nominating, voting, and rallying work across the platform, not just on JRE, the guest voting guide covers the mechanics in more depth.


    04 / ComparisonHow is this different from tweeting at Joe Rogan?

    Plenty of fans already try to get a guest booked the old way: reply to a clip, tag the show, tweet at the host directly. It's understandable. It's also close to useless, because none of it leaves a record anyone can act on.

    Comment on a YouTube clip
    Tweet at @joerogan on X
    Vote on dLogos

    Scrolled past by morning

    Sometimes
    Rarely, gets lost in replies
    Always, by name
    Backed by other fans
    A handful of replies
    Maybe a retweet
    Votes stack from everyone who agrees

    None of this means tweeting doesn't help at all. It just means it disappears. A vote doesn't.


    05 / ProofFans have already moved a real nomination: the LTW campaign

    The second-place name on the JRE board right now, Lily Tang Williams, is also the subject of dLogos's clearest case study of what organized fan demand can do. Without any paid promotion, her supporters coordinated around the nomination and pushed it far past the platform itself.

    That campaign is the model. A nomination doesn't need a marketing budget to move. It needs enough people who genuinely want the conversation to happen, telling the platform so in a way that keeps adding up instead of scattering across a hundred separate replies.


    06 / NominateHow to nominate Joe Rogan guests JRE hasn't booked yet

    If the name you want to hear isn't on the board, adding it takes a few minutes:

    • Search the nomination page first, since someone may have already started your nomination and it just needs more votes to move up.
    • If it's genuinely new, start the nomination with the guest's name and a short reason they'd make a good conversation, not just a name with nothing behind it. You can browse the full speaker library first if you're not sure whether someone already has a profile on the platform.
    • Add the specific questions or topics you'd want covered. This is where a nomination stops being a wish and starts looking like a real episode brief, and it's the detail that separates a nomination people take seriously from one that just sits there.
    • Share it. This is the step people skip, and it's the one that matters most. A nomination only you and a handful of strangers have seen will sit near the bottom of the board indefinitely. One you actually send to the group chat, the subreddit, or the specific people you already know want the same guest is how a nomination goes from 12 votes to 300.

    That last step is worth taking seriously. Richard Heart didn't reach 1,179 votes because one person kept clicking. He got there because enough separate pockets of fans decided the same thing and each pushed the number up in their own corner of the internet, and those separate pushes added together on one public page instead of scattering across a dozen unconnected threads.


    07 / Why VoteDoes voting actually change who Joe Rogan interviews?

    This is the fair objection: Joe Rogan already books whoever he wants, so why would a vote count matter to a show with 21 million YouTube subscribers and 6.6 billion total views, according to Wikipedia's tracking of the channel's public metrics?

    The honest answer is that a vote doesn't guarantee a booking, and no platform can promise otherwise. What it does is remove one of the two problems every booker faces on a show this size: not knowing who's actually wanted, and not being able to tell the difference between one loud voice and a genuinely organized audience. A nominee with 1,179 named, public votes is a different kind of evidence than a producer's inbox full of one-off suggestions, and it's evidence that exists whether or not anyone at JRE is actively watching the board this week. It sits there, growing, until someone is.

    The other reason it's worth doing has nothing to do with whether Rogan personally reads the board. Voting and nominating build a public record of what audiences want across podcasting broadly, not just JRE, and shows well outside the top of the charts do pay attention to it when deciding who to book next. Your vote for a JRE guest counts on its own, and it also adds to a pattern other shows can learn from. For more on how that broader model works, see the audience-driven podcasting overview, or start from the explainer post if you're new to the idea.

    There's also a version of this that has nothing to do with JRE specifically. A guest who gets 300 votes on the JRE board but doesn't land the interview hasn't wasted anyone's time. That same nomination, with the same questions attached, is now visible to every other show on the platform looking for proof that an audience actually wants a particular person. A vote aimed at the biggest show in podcasting can still end up landing that guest an interview somewhere else entirely.


    08 / FAQFrequently asked questions

    How do I vote for a Joe Rogan guest?
    Go to the JRE nomination page, find the name you want to see interviewed, and vote. If they're not listed, you can start a new nomination in a couple of minutes.
    Is it free to submit a Joe Rogan interview request?
    Yes. Nominating a guest, voting, and adding suggested questions are all free. Some fans choose to pledge money behind a nomination to signal how much they want it, but that's optional and never required to vote.
    Does dLogos work with the show directly?
    No. dLogos is an independent platform where fans organize demand for guests across many podcasts, JRE included. The nomination board is public data anyone, including people who work on the show, can look at, but there's no formal partnership behind it.
    Can I request more than one Joe Rogan guest?
    Yes. There's no limit on how many nominations you can vote for or start. Most active fans end up backing several names at once, since demand for one guest doesn't take anything away from another. Each nomination builds its own separate vote count.
    Why is Richard Heart the top JRE nomination right now?
    Because more individual fans have voted for that specific pairing, guest and show, than for any other name on the board: 1,179 votes as of this writing. The ranking changes as other nominations pick up votes, so it's worth checking back rather than treating today's order as fixed.
    What's the single most effective thing I can do to help my nomination succeed?
    Share it with the people you already know would vote for it too. A nomination sitting alone rarely climbs the board on its own; one that gets passed around a group chat or a subreddit thread usually does. Ready to weigh in? Vote for the next JRE guest or add the name you've been waiting to hear.
