More than 70 episodes of Joe Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” were removed from Spotify amid calls for the audio platform to censor him over alleged COVID-19 misinformation.
The episodes were removed without acknowledgment from Rogan or Spotify. JREMissing, a website that automatically detects when Spotify episodes are made unavailable, first discovered the deletions.
And while Rogan’s podcast has become controversial recently because of conversations about the coronavirus that differ from the views of the medical establishment, all of the deleted episodes were from years ago and appear to include racially insensitive content.
