This is a hectic time in the podcasting world with a number of podcasters and artists taking a stance against Spotify's content policy around Joe Rogan episodes propagating vaccine misinformation.
Musician Neil Young told Spotify that it can "have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both," reports Rolling Stone. This demand was made primarily due to the "steady stream of misinformation" on the COVID-19 vaccine that happens on Rogan's show. This action was backed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Spotify responded by pulling Young's music from the platform.
Joni Mitchell declared that she stands with Young on this stance and decided to remove her music from Spotify. Guitarist Nils Lofgren followed suit "in solidarity with Neil Young."
We talk about the ramifications of "content management" that is being proposed by various groups. Apparently, it's "screw the 1st Amendment time" with old rockers (who used to fight for their right of free speech).
Plus much more. With Norm Murdock from Team Blitz at the roundtable and Brett Johnson from Circle270Media Podcast Consultants.
