David Seaman On Joe Rogan Deleting 40 Episodes, Including His 7 Appearances
Journalist David Seaman replying to an interesting story on the homepage of Reddit yesterday, where redditors added it up and found Joe Rogan deleted 40 episodes from his show archive upon the move to Spotify, 7 of those episodes were conversations with our founder. The conversations were also scrubbed from YouTube and Soundcloud, it appears, making them essentially unfindable in raw form at this point.

Full statement from David: “Thanks to Reddit for focusing on Rogan’s dishonesty here. He deleted his past guests, knowingly and to secure a huge deal from Spotify. Nothing wrong with that, but be honest with your listeners. If I were getting $100 to $350 million to delete some people from my podcast feed, who knows, I’d probably take it — but I wouldn’t beat around the bush after the fact. I’m grateful to the listeners of his show who have found my work and respect them deeply, but I have no respect for Rogan’s recent commoditization of his own audience, and show history, in order to please Spotify. He’s a sell out, pure and simple. Thank you.”
