Spotify removed more than 100 episodes of the podcast hosted by Joe Rogan, although it did not explain why. The program, one of the most popular of the streaming platform in the United States, faces accusations and boycott for spreading disinformation during the pandemic caused by Covid-19.
According to Forbes magazine, 113 episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience“. With the exception of one program, all the excluded productions were recorded before the pandemic – the others are still available.

This Saturday (5), the presenter posted a video on his Instagram account in which he apologizes for the use of racist slurs on his program.
“It looks awful, even to me. There is no context in which a white person can say that word, let alone publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that now. I never used to be racist because I’m not racist,” Rogan says in the video.
Several artists, including Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, removed their music from Spotify in protest of the misinformation spread by Rogan about the pandemic. The executive director and founder of Spotify, Daniel Ek, however, defended the permanence of the content on the platform, according to the AFP agency.
