Joe Rogan signs massive new nine-figure deal with Spotify
Joe Rogan has just renewed his partnership with Spotify in a huge nine-figure deal that extends his podcasting agreement with the platform.
Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, has been sat at the top of podcast listening charts for years, with the show bringing in on average a whopping 11 million listeners per episode.
After first launching in 2009, Rogan’s podcast has been the top most listened to podcast in the US since 2019.
Now, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the podcaster has signed onto a new deal with Spotify after his previous one, which saw him cash in around $250 million, came to an end.

Exact details of the new deal have not been released by Spotify but it is thought to be similar to his previous agreement.
Rogan said: “The partnership with Spotify has been an amazing fit, and they’re incredible to work with. I’m extremely happy and excited to continue with them for years to come.”
Joe Rogan supported Trump during the 2024 election
During the 2024 presidential election, Rogan notably threw his support behind President Donald Trump and received backlash for interviewing Trump on his show despite snubbing his then-opponent Kamala Harris.
Rogan has claimed that multiple presidents have tried to have his podcast removed from the Spotify platform.
As reported by Dexerto, he made the wild claim during the 2515th episode of his podcast, declaring: “They tried to crush my sponsors. They organized campaigns. There was PACs involved. I can't even talk about it. But there was presidents involved and former presidents involved that were contacting Spotify.”
Rogan further claimed that they ‘spent a lot of money, a lot of money’ trying to take him down, but did not specifically name which prominent political figures were involved in the action against his podcast.
Considering Rogan officially joined Spotify in September 2020, that would mean that for there to be ‘multiple’ presidents involved it would apply to both former President Joe Biden and current President Trump.
Rogan also emphasized the importance of his relationship with Spotify, attributing that to his ability to maintain his position on the platform.
He continued: “Thank God I was on Spotify. And thank God Spotify is not an American company, and also it helped that I was number one [on the charts] in, like, 90 countries and not number 90 in one country, you know? That helped. That helped a lot.”
