Spotify on Friday announced a new multi-year partnership with Joe Rogan that would broaden distribution of his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” to Apple Podcasts and other podcasting outlets.
Bill Peters for Dow Jones Newswires:
The deal follows an exclusive partnership with Spotify struck in 2020.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal was estimated to be worth up to $250 million over that period. The outlet said that Spotify would sell ads for the podcast, and that the deal includes an ad-sales driven revenue sharing agreement.
A representative for Spotify declined to comment on the deal terms, but said the $250 million figure was “incorrect.” The representative did not elaborate further.
The company announced the deal after struggling to turn a steady profit, and after complaints from many musicians who say its streaming payouts are too low to support their work. The Journal noted that Spotify has been reworking deals to lower minimum guarantees, broaden distribution and share revenue.
MacDailyNews Take: “The Joe Rogan Experience” one of the world’s most popular podcasts, regularly receiving millions of views per episode. It will only grow further now that’s it’s finally freed from its Spotify shackles.

he’s mouthy and uninformed, like howard stern. pfft.
Coming to Apple… good
Turning him off… better
Great interview series he did with David Lee Roth of Van Halen. A certifiable crazy genius type of person.
Check out his segment with ELP.
Absolutely hilarious !
This will be just for the audio or the video podcast too?
Most likely the intestinal discharge version.
Rogie is probably the present day RUSH of podcasts and good news a conservative voice is growing. Not CENSORED or silenced as we have seen with other conservative voices on Facebook, Twitter, et al, during the 2020 election.
Agree with Bill M, “a certifiable crazy genius” who has his values in line with the Constitution and American people of all races and creeds.
You GO Joe!…
