What To Know
On the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan paused his chat on jiu-jitsu and kickboxing with artist Mike Maxwell to speak to his pup.
"Where you going, Marshie? Marshall just woke up," the UFC commentator said, referring to his dog, who is named after Marshall Mathers, better known as rapper Eminem.
"I saw your new puppy," Maxwell shared, to which Rogan replied, "Oh, he's adorable."
Last week, Rogan posted a photo of his new puppy named Charlie Lou on Instagram.
"This impossibly cute fella is @marshallmaerogan's new best friend," Rogan captioned a picture of himself holding his newest family member. "Meet @charlielourogan."
The actor said on the podcast that the two dogs are "really fun together" and noted that the breed is a King Charles Spaniel.
"Marshie, come here, buddy," Rogan continued, encouraging Marshall to meet his listeners. "Come say hi to everybody. Come here, come on."
"He's such a cutie," Maxwell said.
"He's the best. Golden retrievers are the absolute best dogs," Rogan said. "They're just all love. They just want to cuddle with you, and hang out with you and want to play. But the whole thing is they just want to be with you."
"He's just the best," Rogan added, while speaking in baby talk. "And he's sweet to everybody."
"I wish they lived like 150 years," Maxwell said.

Amazon makes surprising decision to cut losses on recent deal
Are you a "Joe Rogan Experience"guy or more of a "Pod Save America" gal? How about "The Mel Robbins Podcast," Jay Shetty's "On Purpose," "My Favorite Murder," or "Crime Junkie"? No matter what, the odds are pretty good that you subscribe to at least a handful of podcasts. Don't miss the move: SIGN UP for TheStreet's FREE Daily newsletter The growth of podcasting is kind of nuts. As of 2025, there are over 4.52 million podcasts worldwide, with nearly 487,200 new shows launched in just the past three months, according to Podcastatistics. Most people in the U.S. listen to podcasts via: • YouTube: 33% • Spotify: 26% • Apple: 14% Notice a name missing from that list? Yep, podcasts are one of the few technology-related lists Amazon doesn't dominate. Now, in a surprising move that underscores the evolving nature of the podcast industry, Amazon is dismantling Wondery as a standalone podcast studio, cutting approximately 110 jobs and signaling a major strategic shift. Image source: Shutterstock The Wondery brand isn't going away completely. Still, the division that produced acclaimed narrative series such as "Dr. Death," "American Scandal," and "Business Wars" will be absorbed into Amazon's Audible platform. Meanwhile, Wondery's high-profile, creator-led shows - like "New Heights" with the Kelce brothers, "Mind the Game" with LeBron James, and "Armchair Expert" with Dax Shepard - will now be housed under a new "creator services" division focused on monetization and partnerships. Former Fox International Channels CEO Hernan Lopez founded Wondery in 2016. Lopez saw an opportunity to build what he called the "HBO of podcasting" - a studio focused on high-quality, immersive, narrative storytelling. The company quickly made a name for itself with hits like "Dirty John," "Dr. Death," and "The Shrink Next Door," many of which were later adapted for television. Related: Amazon plans popular service change customers are bound to hate Barely five years later, Amazon acquired Wondery for a reported $300 million. The plan was to bolster Amazon's position in the fast-growing podcast market and compete with Spotify, Apple, and others. Wondery's library of chart-topping shows was seen as a way to: Add exclusive content to Amazon Music and AudibleExpand its ad-supported audio and subscription offeringsGenerate intellectual property that could be developed into TV or film projects, ideally for Amazon Studios Amazon's goal was to be a content-producing powerhouse - not just a distributor. Fast forward to 2025, and the podcast landscape has shifted dramatically. Amazon VP of Audio Steve Boom said in an internal memo per Reuters that creator-led, video-first podcasts "have different audience needs and require distinct discovery, growth and monetization strategies compared to audio-first, narrative series." This shift reflects changing listener and advertiser preferences. While narrative podcasts once dominated the charts, today's top-performing shows tend to be personality-driven, video-enhanced, and easily shareable across platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Despite some headlines calling this a shutdown, Amazon says the Wondery name will continue to exist, particularly for its creator-led content. However, the heart of Wondery, which focused on scripted storytelling, will now live within Audible. CEO Jen Sargent is departing as part of the reorganization. Related: T-Mobile boots customers off yearslong offers without asking The Wondery+ subscription service will remain available, but it's clear that Amazon's podcast strategy is narrowing in on shows that can scale quickly, attract big-name talent, and command premium ad rates. The overall podcast industry is still on the rise, despite Amazon's retreat from narrative. According to Edison Research, over 135 million Americans now listen to podcasts each month - up from 82 million just five years ago. U.S. podcast ad revenue is projected to surpass $4 billion by 2026, per the Interactive Advertising Bureau. But the growth isn't spread evenly. The fastest-growing category is video podcasts, where content from influencers, athletes, and celebrities generates massive engagement. That's where Amazon is now focusing its efforts. Amazon's move is part of a broader trend across the media industry, where platforms prioritize profitability and scale over artistic ambition. With interest rates high and investor patience wearing thin, companies can no longer afford to fund years of losses just to build market share. Buying Wondery was supposed to help Amazon become a dominant player in podcasts, but it didn't work out that way. The acquisition didn't bring dominance - just more complexity. Now, Amazon is streamlining its audio business in hopes of making it more efficient and profitable. If you love high-production storytelling podcasts, this could be bad news. Wondery was one of the few studios consistently investing in scripted, documentary-style audio. With Amazon shifting away from that model, it's unclear who will pick up the slack. On the other hand, fans of celebrity podcasts may see more content, more video integration, and better-quality production as Amazon doubles down on creator services.

Taylor Swift's Ex Welcomes First Baby
Calvin Harris is officially a father after welcoming a baby boy with wife Vick Hope. '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!' Harris, 41, shared via Instagram on Monday, August 4. 'Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.' The Scottish artist included a series of photos of his son's home birth while praising his 'superhero' wife writing, 'I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom!' 'My boys,' Hope, 35, wrote as she reshared Harris' post to her Instagram Story. Micah is the first child for the couple, who were first linked in early 2022 and tied the knot in a private Ibiza wedding ceremony in September 2023. Harris and Hope have been vocal of their desire to maintain privacy in their relationship. "I think there's something about my relationship that feels so sacred... it's protection. We're protecting ourselves, protecting our energy,' she told Cosmo UK in July 2024. While the pair decided not to make an official pregnancy announcement, Hope showed off her growing baby bump on social media after revealing on her radio show that she would be taking maternity leave. Prior to meeting his wife, Harris was famously linked to Taylor Swift after the pair were introduced by mutual pal Ellie Goulding in February 2015. Their June 2016 split turned ugly after it was revealed that Swift co-wrote the 'We Found Love' artist's hit 'This Is What You Came For' using the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. 'I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do,' he wrote on social media at the time. Swifties have spotted supposed Easter eggs alluding to her past relationship with Harris in the Grammy winner's music including 'Look What You Made Me Do' and 'High Infidelity'.
