Joe Rogan is now doing his podcast only on Spotify. He signed a $100 million deal to do his mediocre show exclusively on the service.

The curious thing about the move is that many of his old episodes are missing from the archives. This includes the show he did with Alex Jones and other figures who have been associated with right-wing politics.
Joe Rogan’s podcast moved to Spotify today in accordance with his $100 million dollar deal, and fans are noticing that various episodes are now missing from the archives.
Including episode #911 with Alex Jones.
Of course.

I’ve maintained for awhile that Rogan sold his soul years ago. His agreement with Spotify and now the blacklisting of some of his old shows just further cements what I’ve been saying about him.
What’s really sick about Rogan is that he’s been a millionaire for a very long time through the work he did in comedy, the UFC etc.. It isn’t like he needs the money. So the fact that he agreed to take $100 million to do a boring podcast focusing on boring topics says all you need to know about this man’s character.
I honestly never even understood what was so great about his show to begin with. But the fact that they are refusing to host some of his more interesting content is pretty much all you need to know about the direction of his show. There’s going to be little if anything interesting covered on any of the Spotify exclusive shows.
