Spotify, Which Hosts Joe Rogan’s Podcast, Creates an 18-Member Advisory Council to Tact Against Controversial Content

Joe Rogan had multiple controversies at the beginning of 2022 because of some comments made either by him or his guests on his famed Spotify podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. Though the millionaire podcast host was frequently in the news for negative reasons, things worked well between him and the streaming giant, as it backed the UFC commentator to keep hosting the show on their platform.

According to reports, Spotify is strengthening its content policies, by creating an 18-member Safety Advisory Council to take the experts’ opinions on controversial matters.

The audio/video platform will present the issues in front of the council to review. The council will then provide feedback on what action to take on the said matter. However, Spotify will have the final say in what goes on, as the council’s role will be purely advisory.

Joe Rogan’s top-rated show was the biggest reason one could think for these changes, chiefly, since these came in just months after the controversies. But according to Spotify, it is not the case, as they clearly mentioned that they didn’t decide because of ‘any particular creator or situation’.

The former Fear Factor host, whose JRE podcast became a cult show on YouTube, signed a multi-year, $100 million deal with the platform in 2020. It gave Spotify exclusive rights to the JRE catalog.

Rogan’s move to the platform saw the audio streaming giants introduce the video version. Later, Rogan’s Spotify deal’s real price also came to light, which was double as previously reported, yet the company was happy to back the podcast during its hard time.

Meanwhile, Rogan is living his best life by calling UFC fights, hosting a beloved podcast, and doing stand-up gigs.
