"Joe Rogan's Multiyear, $250 Million Spotify Deal Goes Beyond Platform Exclusivity"

Spotify has renewed its multiyear partnership deal with Joe Rogan for "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, worth up to $250 million, making it no longer exclusive to the platform. The show will soon be available on other audio platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and YouTube, as part of Spotify's revised strategy to broaden distribution. Under the new pact, Spotify will handle distribution and ad sales for the podcast, with Rogan receiving a guaranteed minimum fee and a cut of advertising revenue. The move comes after Spotify faced backlash over some of the show's material, including episodes featuring controversial content.
