Following anti-vax comments and use of the n-word, Joe Rogan says his Spotify exclusive podcast “gained two million subscribers.”<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“There’s no such thing as bad publicity.” After a rocky few months, with controversies leading to artists like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell pulling their music from Spotify,<\/a> if Joe Rogan’s comments are to be believed, the podcaster pulled in pretty significant subscriber gains after the events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Spotify don’t publish podcast statistics, so we’re unsure how many subscribers The Joe Rogan Experience had before or after the controversy. Estimates pegged Rogan’s podcast at roughly 11 million subscribers prior. Digital Music News<\/a> transcribed the following relevant portions of last week’s episode (#1807) with Douglas Murray.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murray: You have been put through the ringer \u2013<\/p>

Rogan: Yeah, I definitely got put through the ringer, yeah\u2013<\/p>

Murray: Since I last met you, they did a number on you.<\/p>

Rogan: They did, it\u2019s interesting. But my subscriptions went up massively, that\u2019s what\u2019s crazy. During the height of it all, I gained two million subscribers.<\/p>

Murray: I\u2019m so pleased for you. I\u2019m pleased for everyone, actually. When I watched what they were doing to you. As long as you survived this, something\u2019s gonna be okay in the world.<\/p>

Rogan: Yeah, they went for it, they went for it.<\/p>

Murray: And because it didn\u2019t work, it felt like everyone could sigh a bit of a breath.<\/p>

Rogan: Also, it\u2019s fortunate that the people that went for it were CNN, and they\u2019re just so untrustworthy. And people know how biased they are, and they know how socially weird their fucking anchors are. These awkward, non-relatable people that no one \u2013 if there\u2019s someone on TV, like pick a person like Jon Stewart, is a great relatable person who I find to be a brilliant guy who\u2019s a kind person. If Jon Stewart thinks you\u2019re a piece of shit, I\u2019m gonna listen. But if Brian Stelter doesn\u2019t like you, that doesn\u2019t mean anything to me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
