Roxane Gay has joined a growing number of musicians and podcasters who have boycotted Spotify over its “ineffective policies” to combat misinformation amid the row surrounding Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Gay had, earlier on Tuesday (1 February), tweeted she would be removing her podcast The Roxanne Gay Agenda from Spotify over its continued association with Rogan and the rampant misinformation about Covid-19, vaccines and climate change.
