Bryan Fogel (2021) - Exposing Russia's Doping Programme

This recap episode comes from an interview between Joe Rogan and Bryan Fogel, the director of the documentary "Icarus". Fogel discusses his documentary which exposed Russia's state-sponsored doping programme, leading to international bans on the country's athletes. He also talks about his subsequent film, "The Dissident", detailing the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the hands of the Saudi Arabian government. Fogel highlights the challenges of distributing "The Dissident", suggesting that major media companies avoided it due to business interests with Saudi Arabia, contrasting it with the widespread success of "Icarus" on Netflix.---We all love The Joe Rogan Experience and much prefer the real thing, but sometimes it's not possible to listen to an entire episode or you just want to recap an episode you've previously listened to.
