    On the Dec. 21 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which has been the No. 1 podcast on Spotify for the past three years

    It should be noted that Rogan has an exclusive deal with Spotify so Spotify is the only place you can listen to Rogan, which is probably largely responsible for his #1 spot on the platform.

    I believe that deal ends later this week. I haven’t seen anything to indicate it will be renewed.

      Spotify cancelled one of the top Gimlet podcasts, Heavyweight, this week, they are really bowing out of the podcast industry I believe. I hope Rogan gets cancelled and fucks off into hell.

        Good, they suck at it anyway. And podcasts are one of those rare things in this day and age that is federated, truly “open” and also mainstream so fuck them for trying to ruin that.
