The Joe Rogan Experience is a long-form interview podcast featuring conversations with comedians, scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, authors, and other notable guests. It's for listeners who enjoy wide-ranging discussions that explore ideas, current events, culture, health, and human experience from many different perspectives.
Ibram X. Kendi is at a pivotal moment, with Boston University confirming on January 31, 2025 that its Center for Antiracist Research will close in June as he departs to join Howard University. This transition puts fresh scrutiny on his record and what comes next.
He also has a new book, Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age, scheduled for spring 2026 from One World. That timing makes a Rogan sit down the perfect venue to preview its core claims and test them with one of the largest audiences in media.
In a year when fights over race, academic freedom, and authoritarian drift are defining politics, hearing how Kendi will lead his new institute and respond to critics is news people can use right now. This conversation could shape how millions understand the stakes in 2026.
Support this nomination today so the discussion happens while the country is paying attention.

For the @TheFP, I review Ibram X. Kendi's new book, in which he spams the "neo-Nazi" label at nearly every immigration restrictionist in America and Europe––all while avoiding any discussion of the difficult trade-offs inherent in mass migration. thefp.com/p/what-ibram-x…
Curated by Calvin Builds 6 months agoIbram X. Kendi is as racist, simple-minded, and ahistorical today as he was a decade ago. Read @coldxman brilliant take-down of the activists' latest screed against white people. thefp.com/p/what-ibram-x…
Curated by Calvin Builds 6 months agoIbram X. Kendi noted that over 1/3 of White students lie about their race on college applications; ~1/2 of these White applicants claimed to be Native American. If White Privilege is so prominent, then why would Whites lie about their race in college applications? Answer:
