Rogan made an Instagram post in May 2020, declaring that he would be shifting the podcast to Spotify in an exclusive deal. According to Wall Street Journal, this deal was worth over $100 million. Rogan also stressed the fact that Spotify would have no creative control over the content of the podcast and that this shift to a new platform would not affect the quality of the show in any way.
