Will Joe Rogan quit the JRE podcast?

While Rogan might have joked about quitting the UFC, he was once quite serious about quitting his famous podcast. This came after the huge backlash his podcast received earlier this year. Spotify too had to take some heat.

Joe Rogan wanted creative control over his podcast and had a vision for it. He didn’t want the criticism to affect this. Thus, he once said he would quit the JRE if he had to change the way he runs it.
