Spotify appears to have quietly removed roughly 70 episodes of Joe Rogan's podcast after expressing support for the comedian, who's stirred controversy for spreading COVID misinformation.
The apparent removal of the episodes, all of which were recorded years before the pandemic began, was spotted by JREMissing. The fan-made website uses Spotify's API to compare available episodes to a database of all episodes recorded.
It's unclear when the episodes stopped being available. Roughly 40 episodes had previously disappeared from Spotify.
What about the two controversial Podcasts? The ones from Dr. Peter McCulloagh and Dr. Robert Malone?
Those two each garnered over 30 million listeners ( Malone’s interview was probably higher ).
Were those taken off?
Why even bother staying at Spotify?
It’s not going to end with the 70 episodes, and every other one will be removed.
Hey, Rogan, say good-bye to Spotify.
They need you more than you need them.

Before I get too worked up I’d check and see if it’s SOP for them to drop the oldest casts in favor of newer ones as an ongoing thing. “FIFO - First in, first out”.
I am going to remove Spotify from my phone. I only installed it to listen to Rogan because of all the publicity. I tried listening to him, but he is not my cup of tea.
Let’s go Spotify!
Were those taken off?
no
these seem to be older
someone on twitter said they thought the common theme was that they featured comedians
did they “offend” someone
I hope they didn’t take down the one where Alex Jones and Eddie Bravo start yelling at each other about flat Earth vs. hollow Earth. That was quality material. Oh, yeah, and all that important COVID stuff, too, obviously.

I just found out from neo-Nazi

that
@spotify
has deleted one of my appearances on
@joerogan
(#1218). WTF?!
You can't be serious. Rogan has about 100 million reasons to stay with Spotify. Sure he's wealthy, but without his Spotify deal he's not "F#%& You" rich.

newFight Companion - February 19, 2017
We somewhere got transcripts of those interviews. I don’t recall where they were, but they are available online.
I loaded them into a word document and am doing some editing to clean them up for personal use.
Rogan’s two interviews with Drs Malone and McCullough were well worth listening to, but otherwise, I agree. I tried listening to some other stuff of his and just was bored.
I hope they didn’t take down the one where Alex Jones and Eddie Bravo start yelling at each other about flat Earth vs. hollow Earth
it’s gone

Nooooo!!! Not Sargon of Akkad!!!! Is nothing sacred???!!!
Joe Rogan, an often stoned former actor and MMA fighter, can determine the direction of podcasting, and maybe even free speech itself, for this era. His next move will be interesting and really important (if he wants it to be).
That sucks. Glad I (allegedly) saved it. That episode was insane. I’m sure that YouTube is following suit.
I think it’s BS. I’m watching/listening to Rogan & Jordan Peterson and while doing so, scrolled way down through Rogan episodes and saw two different Michael Malice episodes, whoever he is, and two episodes with Michael Malice are on this list of allegedly deleted episodes. Also, none of the “controversial doctors” are on that allegedly deleted list.

#BREAKING NOW: | Spotify takes a Swift Turn — REMOVES TWO Joe Rogan Podcasts from its platform with guest Michael Malice — Episodes #963 and #1197..
When does the Trump conservative alternative come online? Soon I thought....
FYI
The site https://ogjre.com tries to upload the deleted episodes, at least the first 40 or so are up there
https://ogjre.com/playlist/61/deleted-by-spotify
In 2 weeks I believe. Supposed to be mid to late February.
