“... social history. R.H. Tawney’s Religion and the Rise of Capitalism, published in 1926, was, Tim Rogan writes, by some estimates ‘the most widely read work of history in the interwar period’. Charting the social and economic impact of the Protestant Reformation in 16th-century Europe, Tawney’s book also served as a warning against the moral perils of a ...”

“... Conflict had flickered over the years but never caught flame. What happened? As Eugene Rogan writes in his new history, any answer to this question needs to consider the broader social, legal and economic transformations that had taken place in the preceding decades. In the early 1800s, Damascus was one of the Ottoman Empire’s most important ...”

“... weighs in at 1136 pages – and there are no current plans for a movie.)The American podcaster Joe Rogan is a libertarian, Covid sceptic and conspiracy theorist, with 14.5 million followers on Spotify and 19.9 million on YouTube, an audience heavily skewed to excitable young men. Just before the 2024 US presidential election, ...”

“... Last October James Rogan, a Republican congressman from California, and manager of the impeachment campaign against Clinton, faced the prospect of a tight re-election battle. His district had been targeted by the Democrats. Crucial to the outcome was the largest concentration of Armenian Americans in the US. To garner their 23,000 votes, Rogan – whose only-ever excursion outside the country was a trip to Armenia – proposed a non-binding Congressional resolution condemning the genocide of 1915 ...”

“... says, ‘the NFL is racially segregated and is run much like a plantation.’ The podcaster Joe Rogan, who is white, has tried to ridicule this analogy. He called the opening sequence of Colin in Black and White the ‘dumbest comparison’ he’d ever heard. How could it be slavery when the players work their whole lives to get into the NFL, not to escape ...”

“... as a starter – for a start.’ ‘How many, sir?’ ‘Two. And I seem to remember finding the Rogan Josh rather tasty, so bring us two of that as well, if you would. Now, Manfred, dear fellow, what’s the word on Meat Dopiaza?’ ‘Or perhaps Meat Korma Shah,’ mused Manfred. ‘I’m with you. We’ll have two Dopiazas and two Korma Shahs. Oh, and ...”

“... the mountains and see this place. I went there first with Bernard Loughlin and his girlfriend Mary Rogan on St Patrick’s Day 1976. I remember that we missed the early bus because we had the most vile hangovers. In those days, on the eve of the Irish national feast day in Barcelona, the native Irish and a group known as the Wild Geese – the descendants of ...”

“... For years – since boyhood, really – I’ve seen myself as an above-average soccer bore. At my peak, I would happily hold forth for hours about the rugged terrace-time I’d served, at Feethams, White Hart Lane, the Manor Ground. And when it came to the archival stuff, if you could spare the time, well, so could I. ‘Name three of the Spurs’ double side’s reserves,’ I’d say, or: ‘How many of the 1964 West Ham cupwinning team had names beginning with a B?’ Or it would be: ‘Pick an XI in which every position is taken by a Gary ...”

“... cabal of professors (Jordan Peterson), pundits (Ben Shapiro) and big-league podcasters (Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin). He’s too much of a party of one for that. What he does share with the dark webbers is the conviction that everybody in the educated elite is too sensitive, especially those squishy-soft SpongeBob millennials. Ellis has turned his live-in ...”

“... an XL T-shirt and a gold chain, and becoming a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, told Joe Rogan that the corporate world is ‘culturally neutered’ and needs more ‘masculine energy’. He has proposed AI friends as one solution.On the dark edge of all this has been the manosphere, the network of male supremacist websites, influencers and YouTube ...”

“... a decade when Jewish aggression was feared and blacks kept securely in their place,’ Rogan says, ‘and when white collegians considered blacks less aggressive than Jews, the black mask of deference enforced on one pariah group covered the ambition attributed to the other.’ The Jazz Singer, in other words, is a rite of initiation in which ...”

“... and Prince Harry and Meghan, and paying more than $200 million for the exclusive rights to the Joe Rogan Experience, sometimes described as the most popular podcast in the world.

“... But there is no mention of Polanyi in Thompson’s masterpiece, and it is noticeable that even Tim Rogan – who in his book The Moral Economists (2017) makes a case for substantial commonalities in the work of Tawney, Polanyi and Thompson – cites no evidence of Thompson acknowledging or drawing on Polanyi.*More generally, Polanyi’s stock seems to have ...”

“... married to Christopher Robinson … whom she adores, and they have two gorgeous toddlers.’ Joe Rogan, who first interviewed Knox during the pandemic (they bonded over their dismay at Kamala Harris’s history of suppressing exonerating evidence when she was a prosecutor), fell over himself during Knox’s most recent appearance on his podcast: ‘What all ...”
