The media personality, stand-up comic, UFC commentator and perhaps nowadays most importantly podcast host Joe Rogan has shared a huge announcement on Instagram. The host of Joe Rogan Experience has announced that the show will be soon on Spotify.
What's crazier, after the initial move on September 1 to Spotify in addition to other channels, JRE will become Spotify exclusive starting at some point late in the year. No more YouTube videos of JRE, except for short clips he assures are to stay on Google's video platform.
Both audio and video versions of JRE will be moved to Spotify only but Rogan made it clear in the post that Spotify will have no editorial control, he's not an employee of Spotify, and the show will remain free as always. No changes to the show are expected, except for the platform it is hosted on.
There's no word on how large of a purse full of gold coins the Swedish streaming giant had to offer Rogan in order to secure the licensing deal but it must be an all-time most influential move on the podcast market.
Joe Rogan Experience guests this year alone have included Elon Musk, Bill Maher, Robert Downey Jr. and host of other high-profile experts, comics, leaders, actors and other guests.
