More: Mad about Joe Rogan? Be madder at streaming monopolies More: Spotify's CEO apologizes to employees over Joe Rogan controversy She knows what she’s talking about, unlike some of the quack doctors who have appeared recently on Rogan’s show to tout conspiracy theories about COVID-19. “Just don’t stand too close to him,” said my wife, an infectious-disease physician. And it also made me wonder if it was safe to go on his show. That seemed like a remarkably stupid thing to say, as Rogan himself has since acknowledged. Rogan was already in hot water last spring, around the time when I got invited to the show, because he claimed that healthy young people didn’t need to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Many people are calling on Spotify to cancel Rogan’s show from the platform. And last Saturday, as pressure on Spotify continued to mount, Rogan apologized for his use of the N-word in prior broadcasts and vowed never to say it again on the air. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Nils Lofgren recently pulled their music from Spotify to protest COVID-related misinformation on Rogan’s show. That’s a special concern of Joe Rogan, of course, who is known for saying outrageous things.

(My mom says they’re very good.)īut my latest book is about free speech. I am just a nerdy college professor who writes books that very few people choose to read.
My first reaction was surprise: Why me? I’m not a comedian (like Rogan), or a martial-arts fighter (ditto), or a celebrity who likes to push the envelope (Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson). Last spring, I was invited to appear on Joe Rogan’s show.
