But everything is riddled with speculation nowadays.Įven if listeners believe Rogan, the glitch reminded everyone of how serious censorship’s effects can be, and the desires of some Spotify employee to censor Rogan have brought up huge red flags for creators on the platform. Rogan said the same in an Instagram post that - ironically - was also deleted. If you believe what Spotify has said, then you’d think that the episode’s deletion was due to a technical glitch. Recently, fans noticed another recent episode with Jones had disappeared. Those included Mikhaila Peterson, Owen Benjamin and Alex Jones, among other right-wing “activists,” comedians and YouTubers. Yet, when it first debuted on the platform, his show was missing episodes with his most controversial guests. Rogan promised back in May there would be no censorship, and that the entire library would be available on Sept.

They even threatened to walk out if they could not have “direct editorial oversight” of the show. Afterward, Spotify employees held meetings to voice their concerns about including his content on the platform. Rogan dominated podcasting independently before agreeing to a $100 million deal with Spotify earlier this year. From politics to sports to neuroscience, he covers it all. His fans not only respect his jokes, but they appreciate his willingness to embrace controversy. Rogan is among the world’s most popular podcasters, and The Joe Rogan Experience has garnered a fiercely loyal fanbase.
