Joe Rogan’s Close Friend Reveals the “F**ked Up” Issue With His Spotify Podcast

Joe Rogan has built a massive podcasting empire by churning nearly 2000s episodes over the course of nearly 13 years. The veteran comedian has built his show on the concept of offering free-flowing conversation with no filters. It enables the viewers to not only learn about the guests but also get the chance to understand them better.

Rogan’s exponential growth can attribute to his personality, hospital nature, and mega-successful career as a comedian, and UFC color commentator. He even has made several appearances in popular TV shows and spearheaded ‘ Fear Factor’, as its host.

Fellow comedian and Rogan’s friend, Bert Kreischer, has seen the journey that Rogan’s podcast has been through. From humble beginning to now, having the massive $100 million deal with Spotify. The show’s popularity is at its peak and Kreischer is simply blown away by it.

Speaking with Tom Segura’s podcast show, 2 Bears, 1 Cave, Kreischer jokingly brought up the topic and said, “Isn’t it so weird, how big he has gotten? It’s so f***d up.”

Segura in response stated that every time he opens Twitter, he finds Rogan’s name or shows trending on the website. Users on social media continue to talk about him every other without Rogan involving in any drama or major controversy, which seemed quite strange to Segura.

Spotify deal enabled Joe Rogan to make money from his podcast show

During an episode with popular YouTube, MrBeast, Rogan looked back on his journey and how the show never produced any revenue. He clearly stated that it took him a long time to make anything out of the podcast. And mostly, he ran the show out of his own pocket. Finally, after independently running the show for over a decade, Rogan landed in a once in a lifetime opportunity with Spotify.

Not only did this exclusive deal see him rake in $100 million in revenue, but enabled him to earn a good chunk per episode. His decision to move away from YouTube has produced positive results as he continues to rope in millions of viewers each month.
