Spotify also says: “This partnership represents a major addition to the already unrivaled slate of exclusive audio content available to audiences on Spotify” - possibly throwing a bit of shade on Luminary’s exclusivity model, though Spotify really doesn’t need to. By partnering with Spotify, Rogan and his team will enjoy the support of the world’s leading audio platform.” Spotify says: “Bringing the JRE to Spotify will mean that the platform’s more than 286 million active users will have access to one of culture’s leading voices. The video portion (which was launched in 2009 on YouTube) will be included - Spotify calls video podcasts “vodcasts.”

The show (formally, The Joe Rogan Experience) will remain free to all Spotify users, not just the Premium subscribers. Going forward it will be glaringly present, and it will exist nowhere else.

It’s that the industry coverage stretches across the mainstream in USA Today, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, South China Morning Post, FOX News, Engadget, POP Culture - on and on. If there would ever been an indicator of podcastings’ maturity as a media category, or a podcaster emerging as a media mogul, it is today’ blockbuster news that Joe Rogan has signed an exclusive arrangement with Spotify, worth $100-million.
