Embattled podcaster Joe Rogan remains a fixture at Spotify.

This is a good thing. It is also a bit surprising given the onslaught directed at him and the platform in recent weeks. At first, he was accused of helping to spread misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the popular claim is that his regrettable use of the N-word over the years means that he is, in fact, a racist. Rogan himself promised to do better and even apologized for his “regretful and shameful” behavior in the past.
