"The Joe Rogan Experience" show is back on Apple Podcasts

Over 2,000 episodes of "The Joe Rogan Experience" are now available on Apple Podcasts as star ends exclusivity deal with Spotify.

Spotify reportedly paid Joe Rogan $200 million to move his show to the streaming platform as an exclusive, back in 2020. Now, days after announcing an end to that exclusivity, the show has returned to Apple Podcast with its entire archive.

Rogan's controversial show will remain on Spotify, but the star's new deal — believed to be for $250 million — allows it to be included on other platforms. Spotify has said that it will initially appear on both Apple Podcasts and YouTube.

The podcast is now officially back on @apple

It wasn't clear from the announcement whether Apple Podcasts would include the show's archive. However, as of this writing, more than 2,000 editions are available and the dates range across the three years Rogan was exclusive to Spotify.

"The Joe Rogan Experience" is chiefly controversial because it allegedly included misinformation about the coronavirus. Neil Young and other artists removed their music from Spotify as a consequence, and the firm apologized, but did not remove the misinformation.

They sell the ads that run in the podcasts, and built up the infrastructure to dod so far more aggressively than their competitors. Now that they have strong control over ad sales, there's little reason for exclusivity—if anything, broader distribution helps those efforts.

LOL..."chiefly"? His show is a celebration of lunatic conspiracy theories. Rogan is one of those people that claims the moon landing was faked.

Yeah, it’s a sad sign of our culture in the US that he has such a huge and rabid following.
