Rogan announced the Spotify deal, reportedly worth more than $100 million, on May 19, 2020, and told fans it would not have creative control over content decisions. Speculation about censorship of his vastly popular podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, resurfaced this week after being featured in a video by righ- wing conspiracy theorist Mark Dice, whose post was also shared among Rogan's Reddit community.ĭice alleged that Rogan had "lied" about the platform censoring his content, although misattributed at least one quote to Rogan that was in fact made by conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones last September amid the initial controversy. Alex Jones and Tim Dillon was like one of my favorite podcasts." "But other than that, in terms of what I do in the future, the big test was having Alex Jones on. There were a few episodes they didn't want on their platform, I was like 'okay, I don't care'. They haven't given me a hard time at all. Rogan said he agreed for episodes to be omitted but future clips wouldn't be policed: "They don't give a f**k man. there's gonna be strings attached." Anwar said, to which Rogan responded: "Yeah, that's the criticism of me being on Spotify." "A lot of people are like, 'they're telling Joe Rogan what he can and can't do.' They're no-they're not," Rogan said last month in a podcast with stand-up comedian Fahim Anwar. Podcast host Joe Rogan recently denied facing any censorship at Spotify despite some videos from his YouTube channel not being transferred to the streaming giant as part of a multi-million licensing deal announced in May 2020.
