Update: This story has been updated after Alex Jones called Joe Rogan to verify the internet’s rumors and interpretations:
According to Jones, who spoke to Rogan Tuesday, Spotify plans to release more Rogan podcasts in a second rollout.
“Here’s the key,” Jones explains, “Joe Rogan’s favorite 100 episodes of the last 10 years or so will be left on YouTube starting December 31 when he goes exclusively to Spotify. For this couple months no man’s land the content will be on both platforms and will be migrating over.”
“And so that’s why the Alex Jones interview is not there. That’s why some of the other interviews are not there, because those are going to be the exclusive interviews that are left on YouTube where, in Joe’s words, they’ll probably get more views than if they were on Spotify.”
Asked point-blank by Jones if he’s being censored by Spotify, Rogan responded, “Absolutely not.”
Jones adds he will again be a guest on the podcast in the “very near future” after Rogan has completed his move to Austin from California.

Streaming music service Spotify appears to have restricted podcasts including Alex Jones, Gavin McInness and others from its Joe Rogan Experience catalog.
On Monday, nearly every Joe Rogan Experience podcast was available on Spotify with the exception of Jones’ podcast, Episode #1255, despite it being one of Rogan’s most popular podcasts to date.
Jones’ other appearance, Episode #911, is also absent from Spotify’s selections.
Interviews with other podcast guests have also been removed, mostly from guests on the right side of the political spectrum, including Milo Yiannopoulos, Gavin McInnes, and Sargon of Akkad.
Podcasts featuring philosopher Stefan Molyneux, martial arts instructor and flat earth proponent Eddy Bravo and comedian Chris D’Alia have also been censored.
On Twitter, Mikhaila Peterson, the daughter of psychology professor Jordan Peterson, complained about her ban.
Okay. Getting demonetized from @youtube is one thing. At least they didn’t shut down my channel. However this is COMPLETELY different.

Spotify inked a deal with Rogan back in May reportedly worth more than $100 million, though the terms of the contract were not made public.
Constitutional attorney Robert Barnes questioned whether Rogan could be sued for misleading Spotify subscribers into purchasing premium accounts believing they’d have full access to Rogan’s entire catalog.
@joerogan led a lot of people to believe he would not be censored by @Spotify, that helped boost Spotify's stock value & Spotify subscriptions. Can those people sue now that those promises turned out to be a lie?

While the episodes have been censored from Spotify, most of them are still available on Rogan’s old platform YouTube.
