Two October 2026 pieces (Geekblog and UniladTech, both dated 2026-10-09) report the show averages about 11 million listeners per episode, and MillionPodcasts lists an estimated 20.9M monthly listeners, so the claim that it has upwards of 10 million listeners holds as of 2026-10-16.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Folks, again, Joe Rogan's not gonna be with you on every single thing. The point is, uh, I don't know how many people listen to his show. I've heard upwards of 10 million. That's huge.

Supports. UniladTech (2026-10-09) reports the show averages 11 million listeners per episode, which exceeds the 10 million threshold.[2]
Supports. Geekblog (2026-10-09) reports the show averages roughly 11 million listeners per episode and has been the most-listened-to US podcast since 2019.[3]
Supports. MillionPodcasts lists an estimated 20.9 million monthly listeners, consistent with an audience above 10 million.[4]
Context. Reuters (2026-10-08) reports 18 million-plus Spotify followers and 21 million-plus YouTube followers and ranks the show No. 1 by reach in Q2 2026, but it gives no listener count.[1]
Context. Older 2022 pieces also cite audiences of over 10 million, which is consistent with the current figure but not current evidence.[5][6]
Context. Podcast-analytics pages give inconsistent or unusable listener estimates (Podscan shows a garbled monthly figure; CastFox shows 76K to 402K monthly reach), so they do not contradict the claim but add little.[7][8]
