Spotify CEO Daniel Ek held an all-staff meeting about Joe Rogan, where he revealed he has already held nearly a dozen meetings to discuss the top-rated podcaster with concerned staff. “In the case of Joe Rogan, a total of 10 meetings have been held with various groups and individuals to hear their respective concerns,” said Ek, according to Vice News. “And some of them want Rogan removed because of things he’s said in the past.”
To add “context,” that meeting took place in September 2020, four months after Rogan signed a $100 million deal with the streaming platform. At the time, certain Spotify employees wanted to cancel Rogan over his allegedly “transphobic” comments. Ek noted that numerous employees objected to Rogan’s July 2021 interview with Abigail Shrier, author of the book “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” which Target removed from its store shelves in November 2020.
