JOE ROGAN SPOTIFY EPISODES REMOVED FREE

The site noted that a total of 113 episodes - which includes the 71 taken down on Friday - have been removed from Spotify. On Friday, 71 episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience were removed from Spotify, according to the website JRE Missing, which tracks when the podcast episodes are missing from the streaming platform. Last Thursday, the musician India.Arie - who has said she will remove her music and podcast from Spotify in protest of Rogan’s comments about race - resurfaced a compilation of video clips showing Rogan using the racial slur and describing being with Black people as akin to “Planet of the Apes.” The podcaster apologized over the weekend, calling his comments “regretful and shameful.” The latest batch of ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ episodes pulled by Spotify featured guests including podcaster, actor and comedian Marc Maron, LGBTQ activist and author Dan Savage, political commentator Kyle Kulinski, and comedians Bill Burr, Tom Segura, Iliza Shlesinger, Theo Von, Brian Redban, Rich Vos and Pete Holmes.Spotify Finds New Managing Director for Gimlet Following Lydia Polgreen's Exit Those included segments with right-wing figures such as Infowars’ Alex Jones, Gavin McInnes and Milo Yiannopoulos and also episodes with various comedians. Previously, Spotify had pruned 43 ‘JRE’ episodes from the catalog after the company added Rogan’s show in September 2020 under a $100 million exclusive distribution pact. Malice directed followers to a website that tracks Spotify’s removals of ‘Joe Rogan Experience’ episodes Variety confirmed the ones listed are no longer available. Spotify’s mass removal of additional ‘JRE’ episodes was spotted Friday by right-wing author and podcaster Michael Malice (real name Michael Krechmer), who noted in a tweet that the streamer had removed two episodes on which he was a guest.

In a January 31 statement, Rogan had apologised to Spotify over the Covid misinformation repercussions and said he would “try to balance things out” in future episodes. Rogan requested that the streaming service remove the 70 episodes in conjunction with his apology about using the N-word, a person familiar with the talks told Variety. In recent days, Spotify executivess have met Rogan and his team to discuss Spotify’s concerns about the ongoing backlash against the podcaster. Guests on the 70 episodes Spotify just purged included professor and YouTuber Gad Saad, who wrote on Twitter of the show he appeared on: “I believe that in that particular episode (if memory serves me right), Joe had uttered the n-word (I can’t remember the context but it was not in a racist manner notwithstanding the likely minefield).” “I never used it to be racist, because I’m not racist, but whenever you’re in a situation where you have to say ‘I’m not racist’, you f****d up and I clearly have f****d up.” “I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that now,” acknowledging that “it’s not my word to use”. “It looks fucking horrible, even to me,” Rogan said about the video-clip montage. He said it was “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve ever had to talk about publicly”, although he said he has not used the N-word in years. Rogan, in an Instagram post early Saturday, responded to the supercut of him saying the N-word on the podcast. It’s unclear whether Spotify removed all 70 of the episodes on Friday because of Rogan’s utterance of the racial slur. “He shouldn’t even be uttering the word,” Arie said in the post. For me it’s also his language around race.”Īrie subsequently posted a video clip on Instagram compiling 24 times Rogan used the “N-word” on his podcast. Singer India Arie this week said she was pulling her music and podcasts off Spotify, saying that: “I find Joe Rogan problematic for reasons other than Covid interviews.
