While Spotify will become the exclusive distributor of “JRE,” Rogan will maintain full creative control over the show under the agreement.Ĭorrection: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported that the episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” with Stefan Molyneaux, Joey Diaz and Tommy Chong were unavailable on Spotify. There will still be clips from the show on YouTube but full versions of the show will only be on Spotify after the end of the year. Under the mutiyear licensing pact, “The Joe Rogan Experience” will become exclusive to Spotify later in 2020. Rogan’s deal with Spotify is worth more than $100 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. The episodes on the service date back to 2009, when the comedian and former TV host first launched the show. Reps for Spotify and Rogan didn’t respond to requests for comment.Īccording to Spotify, “The Joe Rogan Experience” has long been the most-searched-for podcast on its service. Spotify announced the arrival of Rogan’s podcast in a tweet Tuesday, calling him a “stand-up comic,” “mixed martial arts fanatic” and “psychedelic adventurer,” neglecting to call out one significant element of his brand - a political provocateur, one who has been willing to provide a platform for the far-right fringe.Īmong other episodes not available on Spotify are Rogan’s podcasts with comedian Chris D’Elia (recently accused of sexual misconduct involving, in some cases, teenage girls) one with comedian Tommy Chong from his May 23, 2019, appearance and two featuring comedians Joey Diaz and Brian Redban. 21, 2014, episode with Molyneaux (who was kicked off YouTube in June for alleged hate-speech violations and booted from Twitter in July for operating fake accounts), is unavailable.

Two episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” with far-right commentator Stefan Molyneux (from 20) are available Spotify.
