A pioneer in the podcast space, Joe Rogan started the podcast in 2009 from his home and gradually grew to become one of the most popular channels on YouTube. The UFC commentator took his podcast off of YouTube and signed a three-year $200 million deal with Spotify in 2020.

And as his deal was set to expire by the end of 2023, there had been speculations around the podcast hosts’ next moves. Putting an end to the speculations, Rogan has announced that he has signed an extension with Spotify.

“I am very happy to announce that I will extend my partnership with Spotify, the largest podcast platform in the world. In addition to being available on Spotify, the show will soon be available on additional platforms like Apple, Amazon, and YouTube,” Rogan wrote on his Instagram account.
