Context matters.
The Racist Joe Rogan
How the blue stack created the false impression that one of its COVID enemies also happened to be a vicious bigot
BY ZAID JILANI
[…] Missing from all this uproar was any context for the video that the Twitter account posted. In 13 years of conducting thousands of multi-hour interviews, Rogan apparently spent a total of 29 seconds uttering racial slurs and made a single ugly joke—hardly enough evidence to impugn his entire character or to claim, as Noah did, that Rogan is simply addicted to using racist language.

In order to evaluate the actual context of Rogan’s remarks, you’d have to be able to watch the episodes yourself. […]

At this rate no one will be on the telly

Nah, something weird is going on with Spotify. When you search for Joe Rogan the podcast comes up but then you can't click through to it.
You then go to browse all podcasts and you can get to The Joe Rogan Experience through there but then it seems to limit you to about 10 podcasts.
I wonder if they're culling more to make Spotify safer for everyone.

And it's back. Wonder what changes (if any) were made.
