Ash and Kane discuss the most hated podcasters in this episode. They reveal Google's top five most hated podcast hosts including Steven Bartlett, Joe Rogan, Logan Paul, Meghan Markle and Andrew Tate, exploring why these figures attract criticism despite their success!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Steven Bartlett makes the list of most hated podcasters due to controversies around his business claims, association with Huel and because his interview style focused too much on making celebrities emotional.
• Joe Rogan appears on the list because of his massive success and controversial political interviews, hosting divisive guests can attract criticism regardless of the host's own personal views.
• Logan Paul's reputation suffered from the "Crypto Zoo" scandal, which was essentially a pump and dump scheme that cost followers millions.
• Meghan Markle's podcast failure after an alleged $20 million Spotify deal contributed to public criticism, with accusations she wasn't even present for guest recordings!
• Andrew Tate rounds out the list as one of the most Googled people in 2023, with his controversial views making him particularly reviled despite maintaining a long running podcast.
• Some podcasters, like Theo Von, seem to avoid significant backlash despite controversial content. Personality and delivery style definitely play a role in audience reception.
• Success inevitably attracts criticism, with the David Goggins quote: "You'll never find a hater doing better than you."

BEST MOMENTS

"Everyone loves to hate successful people. What's the David Goggins quote? You'll never find a hater doing better than you."

"Controversy sells but also he would interview people that had strong opinions... you end up getting all of the hate because you have essentially hosted this person. Even if it's not your opinions at all."

“I mean, everyone loves to hate Tate and he has extremely contrarian views, so that one barely needs explaining."

"Let me introduce you to gambling addiction... If you buy a shitty meme coin with all of your money like that, that some influencer promoted, who just appeared a month ago, you deserve to lose your money."
