Joe Rogan apologizes as backlash hits Spotify | Rush Hour

Podcaster Joe Rogan has apologized and pledged more balance on his show amid a backlash against COVID-19 misinformation on the streaming service Spotify that wiped more than $2 billion off its market value last week.

Rogan’s show, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” has been the most listened-to podcast on Spotify and is central to its plan to expand beyond music and take on rivals such as Apple and Amazon for a share of the podcasting market.

You should listen to rogans whole message about this matter on Spotify it's only 10min.. then you'll see how media really spins the narrative

[jamesbarnes]

Insane! You should not apologize! What kind of world do we live in… You had an SME Dr. On your show! I can’t believe you’re bending!

[cosplayshop]

Joe Rogan did say he is sorry. It just didn't show on this segment, you need to watch the entire original video to hear it

He said "I’m very sorry that they feel that way. I most certainly don’t want that. I’m a Neil Young fan, I’ve always been a Neil Young fan"

[brandynbeyer]

Either there was no apology and news nation is making up headline titles or it just wasn’t included in the selected clips.
I hope he DIDNT apologize!

Leave Joe alone! Nothing wrong with healthy discussion.

[taxingtime]

No he’s just a gentleman, looking for truth instead of ideology

[rhentertainment]

Where in the video did he apologize? I guess I missed it.

[bloodorangemoon]

I loved her freudian slip when she called him brogan lol

[soootheromanslancs]

This was not an should it be...he is simply responding in a mature and polite

[karolynpieren]

Did you listen to it. He didn’t apologize at all.

[Shervonyak]

I don't want to listen to H&M... Prefer Joe Rogan.

[kristenlynn]

He's a Podcaster. He makes money by having discussions. Though, some people he has on, and some things he says I don't exactly agree with. That's when you need to rely on your own research and decisions. It's ENTERTAINMENT, that's all. Period.

[eliazruis]

F people that try and silence conversations!

[lillyfox]

Why would he apologize? Eff censorship

[terrythemoose]

I just checked and they are both still on Spotify.

[jasonwesley_]

The last line of this was "Unbiased coverage"...that's a lie.

[gleefulme]

Henry & Rachel have produced 1 podcast in the last 18 months. It didn't do well. I might think they were sincere if they coughed up the $18 million accepted from Spotify. Otherwise, they're just jumping on the latest bandwagon to get out of producing content.

[MistaKnifeguy]

Those of us who DO understand the context, and know Joe's body of work aren't ruffled by this bs. Neither are the numerous black people that know Joe personally. Like Mike Tyson, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Izzy Adessanya, and most of the black folks in UFC, just for starters. Context DOES matter. If you can't recognize your TRUE enemy, you're a fool. Joe is not the enemy.

[jasonwesley_]

She's miscategorizing and lying. Whether it's purposeful or not, I don't know; but my guess is she believes the lies she's speaking.

[pgroove]

There's nothing to apologize for!...
