    Feb 10 2022
    Joe Rogan hosts one of the world’s most popular podcasts, regularly listened to by over 10 million people. But after interviewing a notorious anti-vaccination doctor on his show, Rogan and Spotify, the company that paid $100 million to exclusively host his podcast, are being targeted by high profile musicians like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. The episode has sparked important conversations about free speech, censorship, the role of capitalism in art and the ethics of streaming giants.
