Science Podcaster Wendy Zukerman is the latest content producer to rebel against Joe Rogan’s massive podcast. Zuckerman is a journalist that hosts and produces podcast titled “Science VS” and is a part of the Gimlet media network.
Zuckerman had posted the following letter online after she sent it to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek.
“Until Spotify implements stronger methods to prevent the spread of misinformation on the platform, we will no longer be making new Science Vs episodes, except those intended to contradict misinformation being spread on Spotify,” Zukerman wrote in an email to Ek
