After a three-year hiatus, the acclaimed “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast marks its return to Apple Podcasts. This move comes as Spotify, the former exclusive platform for the podcast, renews its deal with Joe Rogan, expanding the podcast’s availability to include Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and soon, YouTube.
According to The Wall Street Journal who first reported, Rogan’s show, known for its candid discussions on a myriad of topics ranging from politics to health, has consistently ranked as the number one podcast globally. Its return to Apple Podcasts signifies a significant shift in Spotify’s strategy, favoring broader distribution over exclusivity. This decision aligns with the podcast’s vision to reach a wider audience, ensuring that more listeners have access to Rogan’s diverse and often controversial conversations.
The new arrangement not only makes “The Joe Rogan Experience” more accessible to fans across different platforms but also underscores the evolving landscape of podcast distribution. Spotify’s renewed deal, reportedly worth up to $250 million, illustrates the podcast’s substantial influence and the high stakes involved in the podcasting industry. Rogan’s podcast has been a subject of both admiration and criticism, engaging audiences with its unfiltered approach to discussing societal issues, health, and politics, often featuring guests with unconventional views.
This broadened access to “The Joe Rogan Experience” on Apple Podcasts and other platforms is a testament to the growing demand for content that challenges the status quo, providing listeners with diverse perspectives.
