To be fair... his move to Spotify coincided with him spewing more and more anti-vax and anti-mask drivel that I don't have any interest in listening to.
I have a Spotify subscription. I used to watch Joe on YouTube. I haven't since he moved. I use Spotify at work to have something to drown out the noise around me. I watch YouTube to relax. My habits mean I don't even think of going to Spotify for a podcast.
Looks like I was mistaken - there is a JRE channel but it may be just clips
Just like Howard Stern (note, SiriusXM also owns Spotify). They traded a broader audience and greater influence for stability and gigantic paychecks. E.g., in Howard's case, even though his personal influence shrunk, his importance to Sirius/Spotify grew as a fraction of the subscriber base is dedicated to one talent and would otherwise unsubscribe. Howard's deal has been renewed a number of times now. I can't blame…
All regular media consumption is down, ratings for all news is down, I think we're all suffering from social media consumption fatigue, and there's is also an explosion of podcasts to listen to now. The Economist has daily 45 minutes, Conan O'Brien is on audio only etc.. And he might actually have a broader audience than before, does it matter that much that guests 'new follower' metrics are down? I think there's a b…
A quick google search seems to contradict this. Can you point me towards a source that backs these claims?

>I'm paying Spotify Premium and still have to listen ads during the show. I have Spotify and don't listen to podcasts much at all. When I have, it hasn't been on Spotify and I've always been able to skip through the recording to get past the ad (either with a "skip fwd 15 secs" button or by grabbing the slider and moving it manually). Does Spotify not offer that capability?
They’ve made it simple to skip ads because each ad pops up as a track that you can scrobble to the end of. I assume they’re satisfied with this because my dragging my finger across the name of the advertiser is probably a better signal of impression than hoping I was actually present during the ad roll. But Apple podcasts “skip 15sec” is still easier, I can do it without looking while driving.
The first time this happened to me (while loading up a Joe Rogan podcast), I legitimately thought Spotify was glitching out. There's no visual indication in the app that it's a temporary ad, or of how many ads you have to listen to before the episode starts. I made it to the beginning of the third ad track before giving up.
This seemed like the obvious trap he was going to fall into. I used to listen to him when he interviewed someone I was interested in. I even installed Spotify so I can access his podcast. In practice, because I don’t use Spotify for anything else, I have simply forgotten about him.
He cashed in before his expiration date. Brilliant move.
When he moved to Spotify I suppose I'll get his podcasts from torrents, but then I end up finding far more interesting podcasts to replace him. After all if any of his episodes are interesting I can just listen them two years later.

this makes more sense for Stern because his audience is much narrower than Rogan's. Stern moving from terrestrial radio gave him more "freedom," whereas the same can't be said for Rogan. also, Stern took the deal when he had been established voice in radio for decades, whereas Rogan was (to my understanding) just reaching his height of popularity before the exclusivity deal began.
> this makes more sense for Stern because his audience is much narrower than Rogan's. In what way was Stern's audience narrower at all than Rogan's? Stern narrowed his audience when he moved to Sirius, but so did Rogan, apparently. When Stern was in syndication and on E!, he had as general an audience as any radio personality (back when people listened to the radio.) Rogan has a very narrow demographic as far as I ca…
really? I was under the impression that Rogan skewed much younger. (at least compared to the Stern audience when he made his platform jump.) and sure Stern narrowed his audience when he moved to satellite, but wasn't he already a bit past his prime at that point?
