Spotify became the home of Joe Rogan's podcast in 2020 after the company reached a multiyear licensing deal with Rogan that is said to be worth roughly $100 million.īut the Swedish company has faced mounting public pressure to explain its position on misinformation policies and whether they apply to Rogan, who has faced blowback for questioning COVID-19 medical orthodoxy and for featuring guests who have been banned from other platforms for violating health information guidelines. “No hard feelings towards Neil Young and definitely no hard feelings towards Joni Mitchell," he said. He also said he remained a fan of Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. I am going to do my best in the future to balance things out." "It's very strange and it's nothing that I prepared for, and it's nothing that I ever anticipated. "It's a strange responsibility to have this many viewers and listeners," Rogan said. Rogan, who hosted Spotify's most popular podcast last year, said he did not anticipate how successful his podcast would be when he started it. "I want to show all kinds of opinions so that we can all figure out what's going on and not just about COVID, but everything about health, fitness, wellness, the state of the world itself." "I will do my best to try to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people's perspectives, so we can maybe find a better point of view," Rogan said in the video. He also said he would be open to having guests with differing opinions after the controversial ones. The podcast host said such disclaimers would inform his audience if guests have opinions contrary to the consensus of experts. Rogan said Sunday that he agreed with Spotify's plans to put a disclaimer on certain podcast episodes that deal with COVID.
Recent episodes of "The Joe Rogan Experience" raised alarm among people in the medical community, prompting major artists including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to pull their music from Spotify to put pressure on the streaming service to take more action.
Rogan has been the center of a firestorm of controversy surrounding how Spotify manages misinformation about COVID-19 on its audio platform. "So if I piss you off, I’m sorry and if you enjoyed the podcast, thank you.” “I’m going to do my best, but my point of doing this is always just to create interesting conversations, and ones that I hope people enjoy," Rogan said in a nine-minute video statement released on Spotify and on his Instagram page.
Popular Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan on Sunday night responded to allegations of misinformation on his audio program, pledging to do a better job of balancing different perspectives and putting more time into researching topics.
