Content warning: discussions of transphobia, covid misinformation
After masses of controversy, our topic this week is Joe Rogan. We discuss his podcast, which has spanned over a decade, and whether he truly uses it to promote 'free speech' or to spread harmful views. We finish by discussing his most recent controvery of spreading COVID misinformation and the implications his podcast has on Spotify after Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removed their music from the platform in protest.
Pop culture moments of the week include Rihanna's iconic pregnancy reveal and the continued Kanye and Kim drama.
