However, lately, the JRE podcast is getting a lot of resistance from around the world. Even Spotify has gained a lot of questions over its content policies. Though the music-streaming giant has added advisory notice and removed many controversial episodes, the JRE podcast is still on the platform.

Though some people are clamoring for the show to get canceled, many enjoy its free nature. The show has somewhat of a cult following. It has more average listeners than major news networks. Above all, it is an asset for Spotify against its rival.

The three and half year deal will see Rogan receive at least $200 million, and the figure could go higher. Also, the deal is up for renewal in 2023, as reported by the New Your Times.
