The world’s most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan, has agreed to host guests with a broader range of opinions going forwards after Spotify suffered a barrage of criticism..And Spotify says they will put a “content advisory” on discussions about COVID-19 on his podcast..“One of the things that Spotify wants to do, that I agree with, is at the beginning of the controversial podcasts, specifically the ones about COVID, is put a disclaimer,” said Rogan in an Instagram video addressing the Spotify controversy..The podcast interviews with highly controversial doctors have been labeled as “dangerous misinformation” by Spotify..“The problem I have with the term misinformation, especially today, is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact,” said Rogan..“For instance, eight months ago if you said if you get vaccinated you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID, you’d be removed from social media. They would ban you from certain platforms. Now that is accepted as fact.”.Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removed their music from Spotify in protest of Rogan’s podcast messages..Rogan said he’s open to having people with differing opinions on the show, scheduling those in close proximity to one another is his plan..The podcast host clarified his job is having conversations with people with different opinions, and he is going to try to promote more balance by having guests with different opinions..“I want to show all kinds of opinions so we can figure out what’s going on, and not only about COVID,” said Rogan..The most criticized podcast shows were with doctors Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone who disagreed with the mainstream narrative of COVID-19 procedures and information..McCullough spoke about unapproved alternative treatments for COVID-19 patients and the promotion of mass vaccination..Contributor to the creation of mRNA vaccines, Dr. Robert Malone, spoke on how vaccination poses risks of myocarditis, dangers to ovaries and how mandatory vaccinations are illegal..“Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished people, and they have an opinion that’s different from the mainstream narrative. I wanted to hear what their opinion is,” said Rogan..Ewa Sudyk is a reporter with the Western Standard.,.esudyk@westernstandardonline.com
