Joe Rogan responds to claims that Spotify is censoring him YouTube: Joe Rogan Experience \/ SpotifyPodcaster and comedian Joe Rogan has responded to theories that his podcast is being censored by Spotify, saying that he has not been contacted by the platform at all regarding the matter. At nearly 10 million YouTube subscribers, Joe Rogan stands as one of the most influential podcast creators on the platform, and has hosted a variety of huge guests including Elon Musk and Miley Cyrus. As a result of his immense success, Rogan announced in May 2020 that he also signed an exclusive deal with streaming service Spotify that will mean his podcasts will no longer be available in full on YouTube from the end of the year. Speaking on the topic, he said that the JRE podcast would \u201cremain FREE, and it will be the exact same show. It\u2019s just a licensing deal,\u201d \u2013 also stressing that \u201cSpotify won\u2019t have any creative control over the show.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CAYSqQLFP_l\/?utm_source=ig_embed However, when the Joe Rogan library went live on Spotify for the first time on September 1, eagle eyed viewers spotted that there were several episodes missing. Due to the controversial and often far-right personalities that appeared in the missing episodes, many suspected that Spotify was censoring the podcast, and was not under Joe\u2019s control as previously assumed. However in episode 1544 of his podcast, he strongly disagreed with claims that Spotify was censoring him, saying \u201cthey have literally said nothing to me about it. Zero. It\u2019s never come up.\u201d \u201cNow, is there someone at Spotify complaining about the Abigail Shrier episode? I\u2019m sure.\u201d He continued by saying \u201cme on the outside reading these f**king articles, \u2018oh my God, Spotify\u2019s censoring Rogan, Spotify\u2019s doing this!\u2019 Spotify has said nothing.\u201d Topic starts at 1:02:10 and 1:09:20 https:\/\/youtu.be\/ikJq6wcgrXI?t=3730 \u201cListen to me. Nothing. They haven\u2019t said anything to my manager, they haven\u2019t said anything to me, they\u2019ve said nothing.\u201d Rogan mentioned that apparently Spotify has \u201chad meetings\u201d, but also stresses that \u201cthey have a lot of meetings. They have meetings about all sorts of shows.\u201d He said Spotify is \u201ca great company, they\u2019re open minded, they treat their employees very well,\u201d and again made sure his viewers know that \u201cin terms of then silencing me, zero. There\u2019s been nothing.\u201d There\u2019s certainly a big transition in place for the Joe Rogan Experience amid the shift over to Spotify, but it seems that this is one rumor that he wants to shut down as early as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
