Something similar has happened once again. ‘JRE Missing’ is a website that keeps track of the available episodes and, hence, can also detect when an episode is removed. Thus, the Los Angeles Times reported that JRE Missing detected the takedown of several more episodes.
As per their report, the removal could have been because of technical glitches. A Spotify spokesperson commented (h/t Los Angeles Times), “Spotify is aware of this technical issue, and we are looking into it now.”
Episodes that have vanished include the ones that feature Post Malone, Everlast, RZA as well as Bryan Callen, Dan Crenshaw, Tulsi Gabbard, and several others.
