Heidi Harris Show Podcast #312: Joe Rogan controversy
This controversy isn’t about one guy. Joe Rogan has the most successful podcast in the world. He makes tons of money, and he deserves it. Jealous people and haters are coming after him now, for simply daring to ASK QUESTIONS and interview experts. Hundreds of doctors have complained about “misinformation” presented by some of his expert guests, and a few recording artists have taken their music off the Spotify platform, which hosts Joe’s show. Spotify has now decided to put a “disclaimer” on any show he does involving Covid, or other “controversial” topics.
Haters want to destroy you. They are not appeased by apologies or anything less than your head on a stick. I wish Joe well, but this is not over for him, or for us. This controversy is about much more than Joe Rogan.
I have first hand experience with the cancel culture mob. You can read about it in my book.
Headlines with Heidi! Guest: Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers Magazine
Michael Harrison is the publisher of Talkers Magazine, the main trade publication for people in the talk radio industry. I’ve been honored to be named one of Talkers Magazine’s “100 Most Influential Talk Hosts” numerous times in my career. That’s a coveted list to be on.
Michael and I talked about the changing media landscape, how he sees radio continuing to evolve, and the fact that anything goes as a background for a video interview these days!

Heidi Harris Show Podcast #311: China shutting down online churches – are we next?
China is planning to prevent online churches from broadcasting. That’s a big deal in a country where church attendance is risky. Don’t think it can’t happen here, with godless Big Tech brats in charge. Maybe people would appreciate church more if they couldn’t go, or hear it online?
Heidi Harris Show Podcast #168: Social media’s censorship and the effect on talk radio
How are radio hosts across the country responding to the censorship and “shadow banning” of conservative hosts on social media? I have certainly experienced it firsthand, and it’s annoying to say the least. Should we let these triggered lefty brats in Silicon Valley shut us down? How can today’s radio and podcast hosts navigate the waters?
For insight on how it’s affecting the industry as a whole, and what other radio hosts are saying, I turned to Michael Harrison, Publisher of Talkers’ Magazine, the #1 trade publication for talk radio. He’s always a fascinating guest.
Fox News Panders to People Who DON’T Watch or Read Them
Honestly, gay rights in NOT my favorite subject, but these days the stories are coming out faster than I can keep up.
Once again, another company is pandering to the gay rights activist who DON’T watch or listen to them anyway. (Been there, done that). Fox News removed Executive Vice President John Moody’s online OPINION columnn because some gay rights groups didn’t like what he had to say. What???
The activists could have “tolerated” his opinion of course, looked the other way, or ignored it, but instead they want him silenced. And what’s worse than those who demand censorship is that the people at Fox folded like cheap tents.
What ever happened to “You don’t like it? Oh, that’s too bad. Sorry, the column/show/person STAYS.” What is everyone AFRAID of? What’s the WORST that could happen?
Every time we cede ground to email terrorists, our culture loses. And the people who tune in for a conservative viewpoint are again disappointed by cultural weenies who don’t stand for anything. You cannot program a radio or TV station with the sole purpose of not ruffling feathers. That attitude is killing talk radio, and it’s killing so-called “conservative” TV networks.
