“The partnership with Spotify has been an amazing fit, and they’re incredible to work with,” Rogan said in a statement issued to The Hollywood Reporter.
“I’m extremely happy and excited to continue with them for years to come,” Rogan added.
The partnership between Rogan and Spotify began in 2020, with Spotify’s exclusive licensing rights to “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
Spotify ended its exclusive deal with Rogan in 2024 and began distributing the podcast more widely.
“The Joe Rogan Experience” features candid discussions with comedians, musicians, actors, and public figures, and has more than 18 million followers on Spotify. It currently sits at the top of the platform’s podcast rankings. (RELATED: Latest Climate Blockbuster Starring Tom Cruise Crashes And Burns At The Box Office)

He continued, “Spotify’s podcast business has grown alongside JRE over the years, and we’re excited to keep building on that partnership for years to come.”
