It's likely that before ABC chair Kim Williams' National Press Club address on Wednesday, the world's biggest podcaster, Joe Rogan, had never heard of the urbane public broadcaster boss.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses an unexpected media feud between Joe Rogan, a prominent American podcast host, and David Anderson, the managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). The conflict arose when Anderson criticized Rogan's podcast for promoting misinformation, particularly around health and science topics. In response, Rogan defended his platform, arguing that he invites a diverse range of guests to foster open dialogue and that listeners are capable of discerning fact from opinion. This clash highlights broader tensions between traditional media outlets and newer, less regulated platforms like podcasts, where content can spread rapidly without the same editorial oversight. The spat has sparked discussions on media responsibility, freedom of speech, and the role of influential figures in shaping public discourse.
