Spotify Technology SA's (NYSE:SPOT) top podcaster Joe Rogan over the weekend apologized for using a racial slur on previous episodes of his show as the company removed over 100 episodes of the “Joe Rogan Experience,” according to JREMissing, a website which tracks the podcast.
What Happened: Rogan posted a video on his Instagram account on Saturday to apologize for his previous use of the N-word. He said his use of the word was "regretful and shameful," adding that “there’s nothing I can do to take that back,” and that he wishes he could do so. Rogan also said he would like his mistake to be used as a “teachable moment.
Rogan has already been facing criticism from musicians over another issue related to his show. Neil Young had his material removed from the platform in January over Rogan’s interviews discussing the COVID-19 vaccine.
