Popular Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan on Sunday night responded to allegations of misinformation on his audio program, pledging to do a better job of balancing different perspectives and putting more time into researching topics.
“I’m going to do my best, but my point of doing this is always just to create interesting conversations, and ones that I hope people enjoy,” Rogan said in a nine-minute video statement released on Spotify and on his Instagram page. “So if I piss you off, I’m sorry and if you enjoyed the podcast, thank you.”
Rogan has been the center of a firestorm of controversy surrounding how Spotify manages misinformation about COVID-19 on its audio platform.
