“Some staff inside the company feel alienated by Spotify’s hosting of certain ... episodes”
Alienated? The horror.
When Spotify was first asked why certain past episodes were no longer avsilable (e.g. Alex Jones) we were told there were technical difficulties. No we know the real reason.
Joe is definitely a liberal, but he is morphing into a liberal that has been mugged. He left California for Austin, Texas because of all the BS in California. The likes of Tim Kennedy, Dan Crenshaw, Ted Nugent, Jocko, and Andy Stumpf and others who have been on his show are slowing opening his eyes. He is open to intelligent discussion.
Cancel culture is inherently fratricidal, as is every totalitarian movement. Hitler had his Night of the Long Knives, Stalin his 30’s purges, Mao the Cultural Revolution. Rogan does sometimes appear a bit surprised (when he’s not ripped to the nipples) that the virtue of toleration should be with the conservative side, and he’s still adjusting, because the opposite stereotype is so pervasive and longstanding that it’s difficult to see around until it’s in your face.
well, how much money do these staffers make for Spotify compared to how much money Rogan can make for them. Besides, they signed a contract. It would cost tens of millions to try and dump him. Especially over something they already knew about when they signed the deal.
They ought to be given the chance to get over it by feeling unemployed for a while.
Alienated? The horror.

Isn’t that cultural appropriation, from Mars?
These companies want the free-speech legal protections of the public square.
But they want to police who is allowed to have free speech in that public square.
maybe its the employees’ problem
remember when companies said shape up or ship out?
its impossible for a business to appease every single employees personal beliefs and opinions
therefore, do not try
if they are unhappy, perhaps its time to look elsewhere
I’m encouraged that Rogan’s audience has 3 hrs a week to dedicate to him, but likewise bewildered that that’s 3 hrs a week they aren’t getting additional input.
Kinda good and bad, I guess. I don’t have the time, not even at 1.5x speed, becuase I have far more informative sources to listen to, including No Agenda, John Batchelor, Chris Plante, EconTalk, Dan Bongino, Devin Nunes, VD Hanson, not to mention history and philosophy podcasts I consume.
Clearly Rogan audiences listen only to Rogan.
