The Biden administration has made clear it would like Spotify to act where the Constitution restrains the government. Rogan’s most potent would-be censor lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Each group had its own motive for seeking to suppress Rogan’s reach. It is an ongoing effort to purge the culture of any figure who does not espouse the left-wing party line, much less one who allows intellectual rogues and dissidents to speak uninterrupted. This forgotten history makes it clear that the effort to stifle Joe Rogan is neither new nor especially focused on COVID-19. “There were a few episodes they didn’t want on their platform, and I was like ‘Okay, I don’t care,’” Rogan said nonchalantly. In fact Spotify, which deleted a total of 113 episodes of the podcast this month, opened its relationship with Rogan by removing 42 episodes of the show. Ek noted that numerous employees objected to Rogan’s July 2021 interview with Abigail Shrier, author of the book “ Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” which Target removed from its store shelves in November 2020. At the time, certain Spotify employees wanted to cancel Rogan over his allegedly “transphobic” comments. To add “context,” that meeting took place in September 2020, four months after Rogan signed a $100 million deal with the streaming platform. “And some of them want Rogan removed because of things he’s said in the past.” “In the case of Joe Rogan, a total of 10 meetings have been held with various groups and individuals to hear their respective concerns,” said Ek, according to Vice News.

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek held an all-staff meeting about Joe Rogan, where he revealed he has already held nearly a dozen meetings to discuss the top-rated podcaster with concerned staff.
