Rogan’s recent controversial remarks were from his April 23 episode with comedian Dave Smith. In September, Rogan apologized for spreading misinformation about fires then burning on the West Coast. This is far from the first time Rogan has spurred controversy since joining up with Spotify.

He mentioned Rogan again when asked about podcast advertising. That was the same month Rogan’s podcast became exclusive to Spotify. On Spotify’s earnings call Wednesday, Chief Financial Officer Paul Vogel cited Rogan for contributing to the platform’s strong podcast consumption last December. The report said Rogan’s podcast was helping Spotify grow its ad-supported business and that the podcast had performed above the company’s expectations for adding new users and engagement. On its first-quarter earnings report released Wednesday, Spotify name-dropped Rogan twice. Spotify says it has 8 million creators, but the company continues to single out and champion Rogan, a major name in podcasting who it signed to a licensing deal last May.

I’m hoping he was just trolling for new subscribers, but he has a pretty big platform and that’s really destructive,” CNN media analyst Dr. Rogan broadcast his anti-vaccine message at a point in the Covid-19 pandemic in which more younger people are getting hospitalized from the virus and remain at risk for spreading it. “We have a content policy and we do remove pieces that violate it.”Ī Spotify spokesperson declined to comment beyond Ek’s remarks. “What I will say is we have 8 million creators, and hundreds of millions of pieces of content,” Ek said. When Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw asked Ek about those comments on Wednesday, Ek declined to address them directly. Rogan said in a recent episode of his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” that healthy young people should not get the Covid vaccine, a statement that stands in contrast to all credible public health advice.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek is standing behind and promoting his company’s top podcast host, Joe Rogan, even after Rogan spread anti-vaccine misinformation on-air.
