The Saga of Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan, a former comedian and host of the hit podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” has come under scrutiny in recent weeks for promoting Covid-19 misinformation. Spotify, which owns exclusive rights to Mr. Rogan’s show, has been criticized as the platform for the misinformation. Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removed their music from Spotify in protest. Now, a compilation of video clips of Mr. Rogan using a racial slur on past episodes has surfaced, drawing more outrage. We look into the scandal engulfing the streaming platform and its most popular podcast host. Guest: Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The New York Times.
