Spotify Staff Reportedly ‘Outraged’ by Joe Rogan’s Show

/1 Comment/in , /by

Joe Rogan, the notoriously polarizing host of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” America’s most popular podcast in 2020, is upsetting some Spotify staffers, according to a report. Employee complaints, however, fall on the deaf ears of company executives who paid the 53-year-old comedian more than $100 million to exclusively stream on the platform.

“I’m personally bothered by his transphobic comments and am concerned with the way he might spread misinformation,” one Spotify employee wrote last fall on an internal networking channel on the app Fishbowl, Insider reported Tuesday.

A former employee told the publication that, during his time at Spotify, the decision to sign a deal with Rogan was the most contentious one the company made.

However, another employee told Insider that it’s only “a loud minority of people who are outraged” at Rogan. (Read more from “Spotify Staff Reportedly ‘Outraged’ by Joe Rogan’s Show” HERE)

Spotify Quietly Deletes Controversial ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ Episodes

/0 Comments/in /by

The streaming music service has been quietly removing episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” from their platform, according to Digital Music News — including as many as 42 interviews featuring a variety of controversial characters, including former Breitbart news editor Milo Yiannopoulos, Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and comedian Chris D’Elia, who was accused of “grooming” underage girls and soliciting pornographic images.

Spotify has not produced a statement to clarify the action, but Variety has reported on a number of nixed episodes that featured controversial subject matter.

Scientifically tenuous content was also subject to removal. For example, Rogan’s talks with Bulletproof Coffee founder Dave Asprey, the self-proclaimed “father of biohacking,” have also disappeared, DMN reports. Asprey has been criticized in the past for touting a high-fat diet regimen without thoroughly researched support from doctors and other health experts.

Episodes featuring conspiracy theorist Alex Jones have also vanished, though it comes as no surprise since Spotify had already deleted several episodes of Jones’ “Infowars” podcast back in 2018, alleging that the show gave a platform to hate speech.

Trump Jumps on Offer to Have Joe Rogan Moderate Debate With Joe Biden (VIDEO)

President Trump on Monday jumped on an offer from mixed martial arts commentator and Spotify podcast host Joe Rogan to moderate a four-hour debate with former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I do,” Trump responded on Twitter to a post from Tim Kennedy, a retired MMA fighter.

“On my podcast with @joerogan he offered to moderate a debate between @JoeBiden and @realDonaldTrump It would be four hours with no live audience. Just the two candidates, cameras, and their vision of how to move this country forward. Who wants this?” Kennedy said in his tweet. . .

Rogan said that to avoid the bias in the media, he’d be happy to moderate a debate between Biden and Trump.

“First of all, I want no one else in the room, just the three of us, and you’d have to stream it live so no one can edit it, and I would want them in there for hours,” Rogan said. (Read more from “Trump Jumps on Offer to Have Joe Rogan Moderate Debate With Joe Biden (VIDEO)” HERE)
