Joe Rogan’s podcast is widely regarded as one of the most successful in the world, but it seems listeners on Apple have a different opinion.
The Hill reports “The Joe Rogan Experience” has tumbled down the Apple rankings of most popular shows — falling to third place, behind the New York Times’ “The Daily” and a true-crime hit called “Crime Junkie.”
Despite a lacklustre showing in the Apple charts, Rogan’s show retains the top spot in Spotify’s rankings.

From LA to Austin
The podcaster has managed to lure a slew of A-list celebrities to his new $US14.4 million ($A22.2 million) home on Lake Austin, Texas where he has built a custom studio to record his show.
According to Realtor, the “NewsRadio” actor moved from Southern California to Austin in 2020 after reportedly agreeing to an estimated $100 million deal to broadcast exclusively with Spotify.
In February 2024, Rogan reportedly signed a new $250 million agreement with Spotify that allowed him to broadcast on other platforms, including YouTube and Apple.

That same year, the former comedian opened up about his decision to relocate to Texas, explaining that California’s strict COVID-19 restrictions were partly to blame.
“Everything’s shut down, everything’s staying shut down,” he recalled of the pandemic in California. “All my friends that were in the restaurant industry were struggling.
“I started looking out here in May [of that year], and I went to a restaurant with my kids, and they were like, ‘We don’t have to wear a mask? We could eat at a restaurant?’ Then we went to the lake, and people are playing music and jumping in the water, and [my children] were like, ‘We want to live here!
“That was it. Two months later I lived here.”
Since his Texas move, he seems to be recording shows in a studio built inside his sleek mansion, which sits right on Lake Austin.

Waterfront wonder
Rogan’s mansion was built in 2008 and offers eight bedrooms and 10 baths. There are three docks, a pool, and terraces.
The property features a formal dining room with built-ins, a dual-island kitchen with a casual eating area, a living area with floor-to-ceiling windows, and an office. A gym can also be found on the grounds.
Rogan’s Instagram account reveals several upgrades he made in addition to his studio, including a cold plunge tub and a sauna.
The locale, not far from downtown Austin but seemingly a world away, was a draw for Hollywood A-lister Sandra Bullock, who reportedly owns a home in the area.
