While Spotify will become the exclusive distributor of JRE, Rogan will maintain full creative control over the show. By partnering with Spotify, Rogan and his team will enjoy the support of the world’s leading audio platform.įrom his earliest days behind the mic, Joe has been a commentator, fixture, and driving force in culture helping to lay the foundation for the podcasting renaissance we are experiencing today.

In addition to the wildly popular podcast format, JRE also produces corresponding video episodes, which will also be available on Spotify as in-app vodcasts.īringing the JRE to Spotify will mean that the platform’s more than 286 million active users will have access to one of culture’s leading voices. Rogan brings his sensibilities as a stand-up comic to the show, and alongside dynamic and diverse guests, he fearlessly broaches far-ranging topics including neuroscience, sports, comedy, health, infectious disease, and our ever-changing culture-all with a mix of curiosity and humor. Since its launch in 2009, the pioneering Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) has broken ground and built one of the most loyal and engaged fan bases in the world. And, like all podcasts and vodcasts on Spotify, it will remain free and accessible to all Spotify users. The talk series has long been the most-searched-for podcast on Spotify and is the leading show on practically every other podcasting platform. He added: "But it's not my word to use, I'm well aware of that now.The Joe Rogan Experience, one of the most popular podcasts in the world, is coming to Spotify via a multi-year exclusive licensing deal. "I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing." "Now, I haven't said it in years, but for a long time, when I would bring that word up, like if it would come up in conversation, instead of saying 'the n-word', I would just say the word. "Now I know that to most people there's no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that.

"It's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together, and it looks f****** horrible, even to me. "There's a video that's out, that's a compilation of me saying the n-word," he said. Rogan has since apologised for using racial slurs in his podcast, saying it is the "most regretful and shameful thing" he has ever had to address, and said he has not used the n-word for several years.
