Spotify experienced a glitch with its podcast shows in general, and it is not only on selected shows like the "Joe Rogan Experience" and other titles in the platform. The issue caused a massive stir on Twitter where users speculate that there is something more behind this outage of shows, with doubts about the "technical glitch" from Spotify's camp.
Spotify Glitch: No More "Joe Rogan Experience," Other Podcasts?
Spotify faces an alleged "glitch" about the recent disappearances of shows, including the highly controversial "Joe Rogan Experience" and other podcasts on the platform. According to a report from the Rolling Stones, the platform briefly lost the podcast and other titles on its digital channels, and for a time, fans became confused about the situation.
Anthony Pompliano, a known entrepreneur and investor, brought this incident to his Twitter platform, to which he presented some doubts over what is happening on the streaming media. Moreover, other users are also questioning what happened over at the streaming giant that initially stood by the podcast, to which it paid $200 million for its deal.
The "Joe Rogan Experience" is now back on Spotify, but other shows are still missing.
Joe Rogan's podcast is not available in the Spotify app at the moment. 👀

Did Spotify Remove Joe Rogan's Podcast in the Platform?
Spotify is now the center of another controversy that involves the Joe Rogan podcast being recently lost and back again in the platform. Users doubted that the company removed the podcast from its platform due to its issues, but it returned after several hours without any explanation.
It remains a "technical glitch" from the Swedish streaming giant to date.
Spotify, Podcasts, and Joe Rogan
Spotify became the center of controversy early this year, and it is because it chose a podcast creator, Joe Rogan, over a renowned musician, Neil Young, to stream on its platform. However, there was no choice as Young said that he would leave the platform if Spotify would not let go of Rogan and his show that is rid of COVID misinformation.
After this issue, Spotify's action was to add "Content Advisory" warnings about what the podcast contains, giving people an idea if it has heavy topics like what Joe Rogan's show brought. A significant backlash against Spotify rose in the past weeks, and this is because different streaming artists also boycotted the platform due to its stand.
Now, it seemed for some that Spotify already removed Joe Rogan and other similar podcasts from its platform after previously standing by it in the wake of Young's outrage.
Nevertheless, the "glitch" of lost podcast shows and content are now the centers of controversy that revolves within Spotify, with no statements regarding the issue.
