The Aussie journo who fact-checked the world’s biggest podcaster

American comedian and sports commentator Joe Rogan hosts the most popular podcast in the world – often clocking up 11 million listens per episode. Last week, an Australian journalist and radio presenter appeared on the podcast. His name is Josh Szeps.

Josh hosts Afternoons on ABC Radio Sydney, and spent more than a decade in the US appearing regularly on television and radio.

During the course of his podcast chat, Joe mentioned some statistics in relation to myocarditis in teenagers. Joe’s figures were incorrect, and Josh called him out. The footage and audio has gone viral around the world. So who is Josh Szeps? And what does it say about media and culpability, if the number one podcaster in the world can just riff on something as important as heart disease?

Josh also hosts the podcast "Uncomfortable Conversations with Josh Szeps"
