I wonder about the Joe Rogan podcast as a venue for substantive narratives. I suppose, given the wackos he implicitly advocates by giving them a prominent platform, the emphasis might be placed on *either* "substance" or "narrative" at one's leisure. 

That's one of the reasons I dig things like the Lovecraft mythos or deep nonsense like Chaos Magick, weak on substance and long on narrative. But I suppose, like the targetless model, the narrative itself can be the object of study even if the only substance is the narrative itself ... a kind of impredicative Ouroboros.
