So why not extend that oversight to podcasts as well? Part of the rationale is that Spotify already exerts control over content like playlists, even those created by outside curators. Now, Digital Music News has learned that the protesting employee group is stepping up its demands to control Rogan’s work. Also missing are episodes featuring right-wing figures like Owen Benjamin, Stefan Molyneux, and Charles C.
That included controversial interviews with the likes of Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Gavin McInnes.
Rogan’s appeal to millions of listeners is his unfiltered and irreverent approach, though that style isn’t sitting well with an activist group of Spotify staffers who say he needs to be reined in.Įarlier this month, Digital Music News first reported that multiple podcast episodes were missing following a migration to Spotify’s platform. The demands follow a string of controversial comments by Joe Rogan, who was lured to Spotify in a massive, $100 million deal. That includes content flags, trigger warnings, references to fact-checked information, or simply refusing to publish an episode at all. A group of Spotify staffers are now reportedly pushing to introduce direct editing oversight over The Joe Rogan Experience - before the episodes go live.

I want to thank my truly great and supportive record company Warner Brothers – Reprise Records, for standing with me in my decision to pull all my music from Spotify. “I was prepared to do all I could and more just to make sure that happened.
I announced I was leaving anyway, because I knew I was.” “Before I told my friends at Warner Bros about my desire to leave the Spotify platform, I was reminded by my own legal forces that contractually I did not have the control of my music to do that. “I realised I could not continue to support Spotify’s life threatening misinformation to the music loving public,” wrote Young. In 2020, the podcast made an exclusive deal with Spotify reported to be worth $100 million. Rogan’s podcast has come under fire for continually doubting the vaccine and openly encouraging young fans not to take the vaccine.
