727: Freestyle Friday | Censorship in Podcasting


Listen Later

We got a spicy one here today folks! What do artists like Niel Young, Brené Brown, and Joni Mitchell have in common? They’re all threatening to leave the Spotify platform if Joe Rogan isn’t “dealt with!”

I hate to break it to people but trying to censor someone may actually have the opposite effect and, in fact, grow their audience. So where do you land on the debate? We’re going to break down our initial reactions and how people (including Spotify’s CEO) are responding.

Tune in to the episode and find out why trying to cancel Joe Rogan is growing his audience and where we land on the censorship debate.
