Thinking About Spotify, Exclusivity, Call Her Daddy, and Joe Rogan

Spotify has made a couple of big announcements this month. First, their second-biggest show, Call Her Daddy, ended exclusively rights. While the show will still be a Spotify show, it will be widely distributed (though video will still be exclusive to Spotify).

Then, the following weekend, the same thing is happened with The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE). It will soon be available on other platforms, after being completely exclusive to Spotify for the past 3+ years.

JRE’s renewal was also apparently a massive deal monetarily. It’s got me thinking a lot about podcasting and what’s in store for us.
