Description

It began last month when a number of musical titans began to leave Spotify, accusing Joe Rogan's podcast of spreading Covid misinformation. Rogan's name hasn't left the headlines since. Calls for the streaming platform to drop its most popular podcaster intensified after old clips emerged of Rogan repeatedly using a racial slur. What responsibilities do Rogan, and a mainstream platform like Spotify, have to the 11 million listeners of The Joe Rogan Experience?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
