The closest I know of is Lex Friedman, but when he still gets technical guests on his show it's usually more about high level topics around AI and tech rather than the specifics about code or ML, although that sometimes happens. It's a great show to check out regardless.
I believe they mean someone with the charisma and depth to give great interviews with many interesting people but specifically in this case, people that code. Much of Joe's audience would tune out after a few minutes of coding discussion. So in this case, an interviewer that can pull in some of the top developers from around the world and be able to carry on interesting conversations with them that would draw in an audience of developers. ckvamme, please correct me if I am wrong.
Are we watching the same person? I like Rogan's interviews, but he draws out good content by being dopey and asking simple questions, not by being charismatic and deep.
Not sure.
Honestly a right wing hack that spreads vaccine misinformation and ivermectin as the only true covid cure is the opposite of what I want in a programming podcast.
That's what I was thinking. A dispenser of garbage information from a garbage hack of a person? I can name a few narcissists I know that have no technical knowledge, despite their claims. Is that what you're looking for?
This doesn't really answer the question, but if you touch on PHP the PHP Internals podcast can be very informative. A lot of interviews of the people writing the RFCs for the next versions. And the host is the creator/maintainer of XDebug.
Lex Fridman. At first I thought, who is this unheralded plebe and how is he
getting famous people to talk to him? Turns out he's thoughtful, oddly
charismatic, sufficiently smart, and most importantly, non-cringey.
