Spotify's $100 million problem
Joe Rogan's podcast drags the music streamer into a free speech debate.
One of the world's most popular podcasters has given Spotify a headache. Some critics and musicians claim that Joe Rogan is promoting COVID misinformation in his podcasts, which are exclusive to Spotify after a reported $100m deal in 2020. So how did Spotify - originally a music streaming service - become embroiled in a free speech debate? Also in the programme, 91热爆 Three returns as a traditional TV channel, six years after the 91热爆 decided it should be online only.
