Spotify Employees Threaten to Strike If Joe Rogan Podcasts Aren’t Edited or Removed
Rogan signed a $100 million podcast deal with Spotify. But there are some who would prefer that he just shut up. Also they would prefer that Spotify not sign any other podcast host who tends to stray from the official line.

That would include the ability to directly edit or remove sections of upcoming interviews, or block the uploading of episodes deemed problematic. The employees also demanded the ability to add trigger warnings, corrections, and references to fact-checked articles on topics discussed by Rogan in the course of his multi-hour discussions.
