Joe Rogan’s podcast will no longer be exclusive to Spotify, as the streaming giant embraces distribution on other platforms.

The Wall Street Journal reveals a new revenue-sharing agreement tied to ad sales, marking a departure from Spotify’s traditional exclusive content model.

This strategic pivot comes after Spotify’s earlier approach of acquiring studios like Gimlet and Parcast to create exclusive content.
