I have been watching his podcast for a while but I won’t follow him to Spotify. I would switch to Spotify if Spotify would create a proper Apple Watch app with LTE streaming. Unfortunately, Spotify seems intent on trying to “punish” Apple. I think the JRE brand will be diminished but only time will tell.

Don't get it mistaken. Spotify hate all of their users, not just the Apple crowd. They tinker with their app too much, and with seemingly little value. Yep, I'm still pissed about removing long press to preview

  At least the Spotify UX is still better than Apple Music! I'd love it if Spotify would let you sort your playlists by last listened to like Pandora somewhere in the app. Currently I have to search and scroll every time to nearly the bottom of the library to find my Workout playlist which I use religiously at the gym.

I don't get the love for video podcasts. I find it far more efficient to just listen while doing something else (such as driving or working at my computer). As long as I can get Rogan on my podcast app, nothing really changes for me.

  To each their own. JRE is the only podcast I watch. You miss detail on his show if you can’t see the discussion. The episodes with Elon Musk come to mind. Seeing his facial expressions and reactions is more powerful than just hearing it. And, obviously, seeing him smoke a blunt was surreal and not something you can capture in an audio feed. My point was that you could enjoy JRE the way you wanted to. Now you’ll have to enjoy it the way Spotify tells you to. As far as I know his episodes will be pulled off other platforms in September.

    Agreed. But I did enjoy watching the podcast more when they actually showed the videos they were talking about. Now they still talk about videos, but never show them due to copyright concerns. That can be a bit annoying, although I know it's not JR's fault.

    I feel like that's one example that everyone cites - sort of proving the rule that 99% of his podcasts can be listened to without missing anything.

      It’s the most obvious one. But I don’t need to explain myself to you further. I prefer JRE video podcasts.

  I would wager most people who watch podcasts on youtube are using it as a second screen while on their phone, tablet, laptop etc
