The couple’s statement did not call out Joe Rogan, but the popular podcaster — whose show is exclusively available on Spotify — set off a boycott instigated by Neil Young and joined by other musicians and talent, who were protesting COVID misinfo on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” According to a rep for Archewell Audio, the company has been encouraged by ongoing conversations with Spotify execs about implementing policies, practices and strategies to raise creator awareness, minimize the spread of misinformation and support transparency.As a result, Archewell Audio said, it is continuing production of “Meghan,” the Duchess of Sussex’s first podcast series, set to launch this summer.Harry and Meghan’s Archewell set a deal with Spotify in 2020 to produce exclusive podcasts that “build community through shared experience, narratives and values.” To date, it has released just one podcast — a holiday special in December 2020.
