This week, The New York Times reported that Spotify’s deal with Rogan may have been worth more than $200 million. “The various shows are back up following a brief technical issue,” the company said. This does not appear to be the case, and in fact, the impacted podcasts are already slowing returning to Spotify’s platform. Some headlines were quick to run with the idea that this was a sign Spotify had removed Rogan’s podcast after a slew of controversies related to comments made on the show. In a statement to Recode’s Peter Kafka, Spotify PR explained that The Joe Rogan Experience was briefly unavailable through Spotify due to a “tech issue that is impacting several shows.” The tech issue also impacted other podcasts from Spotify-owned companies, including The Ringer. Notably, this does impact the controversial Joe Rogan podcast, but Spotify has confirmed that this is a “tech issue” and has nothing to do with ongoing controversies surrounding Rogan’s show.

Spotify is suffering from an outage of some sort today, impacting the availability of a number of its in-house podcasts.
