Joe Rogan lost the top spot on Spotify to a Batman podcast
Spotify has a new top podcast in the U.S., with the narrative Spotify Original Batman Unburied finally dethroning The Joe Rogan Experience. It makes sense — most people would probably rather listen to Batman than Joe Rogan.
According to The Podcast Charts by Spotify, Batman Unburied is now the No. 1 podcast in the U.S., bumping The Joe Rogan Experience to second place. The Joe Rogan Experience was Spotify's No. 1 podcast of 2021, after a $200 million deal in 2020 made it exclusive to the platform. The highly controversial podcast and its titular host have repeatedly come under fire for platforming COVID-19 misinformation and using the N-word, with respected artists such as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young criticising Spotify for hosting Rogan.
It isn't unlikely that Rogan's podcast will eventually retake the top position when Batman Unburied is no longer the shiny new podcast on the block. Still, for now the public has apparently decided it prefers caped crusades to COVID misinformation.
Launched with two episodes on May 3, Batman Unburied is a fiction podcast telling the story of Bruce Wayne, a forensic pathologist working on the victims of a serial killer known as The Harvester. As you can probably guess, Batman Unburied's Gotham isn't quite the same city we're all familiar with, and Bruce's occupation isn't the only change. Significantly, Batman's famously dead parents aren't quite as dead in this series, with Thomas and Martha Wayne showing up to urge their son to go to therapy.
Bruce's alter ego Batman will make an appearance though, so how much his therapist actually helps remains to be seen.
Written and executive produced by David S. Goyer, Batman Unburied stars Winston Duke as Bruce Wayne — most popularly known for his role as M'Baku in Marvel's Black Panther, and Gabe in Jordan Peele's Us. The podcast also features a bunch of other big names, including Jason Isaacs as Alfred, Hasan Minhaj as The Riddler, Gina Rodriguez as Barbara Gordon, John Rhys-Davies as Dr. Hunter, and Ashly Burch as Vicki Vale. Lance Reddick and Toks Olagundoye play Thomas and Martha Wayne respectively.
Batman Unburied is the first podcast to come out of a 2020 licensing deal between Warner Bros. and Spotify, which will see the creation of podcasts featuring iconic DC Comics characters. Other Warner Bros. characters and franchises are also on the table.

ReplyDeleteOther than Aaron Rodgers, who listens to joe rogan?
ReplyDeletemillions smarter than u
Deletewhat’s a u?
Deletea letter
Deletedoes it have meaning?
Deleteyes unlike u
Deletewhat is that meaning?
Deleteor is it fascists lack of communication skills makes it impossible for them to explain it’s meaning? Could this writing comprehension deficit be an indicator of who joe rogan appeals to?
Deletedefine fascism
Deletein your own words ( which I expect to be difficult based on this thread so far) define communism
DeleteI asked first answer
Deletebut you labeled first! So proceed.
Deleteso u can't define fascism aight cope
Deletewhaaaat? Is that even English???
Deleteyes do commies even understand English?
Deletenot whatever dialect that was supposed to be! Maybe you could ask one of the smart kids in your class to help you with writing your comments.
Deletewho said anything about censorship? I just questioned what type of person would find him worth listening to? But seeing the way you have presented your thoughts and/or ideas has cleared that question up for me.
Deletemillions still listen to him unlike cnn
Deletewho’s talking about cnn? Try and stay on the subject. Again you paint quite a clear picture of who joe rogan appeals to.
Deleteto smarter people than u
Deletewhaaat? Again get one of the smarter kids in your class (which I am assuming are almost all) to compose your comments. That being said I see joe rogan does have some learned guests once in a while such as Neil deGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox, but I’m thinking those episodes don’t really appeal to you. I’m thinking the space lasers starting western wildfires and dog deworming medications are the cure are what draws you in like a moth to a street light.
DeleteI listen to all of them lmao see you just proved my point you sound like all these communists that watch cnn 🤣
Deletenot sure what there is about cnn that’s draws communists since I don’t watch or listen to it either. But you definitely do not listen to all Rogan’s pod casts. The the flat earthers and lizard people cabals are what you listen to. Maybe instead of after lunch going out to the playground and eating dirt your time could be better spent in the library working with a tutor.
Deletesays the communist that his only argument is assuming things 🤣 how does feel being wrong about everything Russian collusion covid origins Biden's laptop etc.
Deletewe’re still talking about joe rogan’s pod cast , again try and stay on point, instead of veering off into whataboutism. Another quick question. Was there a lot of peeling lead paint chips in the residence you grew up in?
Deletehow's that relevant to Joe Rogan stay on topic communist 😂🤣😂🤣
Deletenice try! Here let me break it down for you because it painfully clear that not only are your written communication skills questionable now I see your comprehension skills are sorely lacking. Lead paint chips lead to developmental delay and learning difficulties in children. Thus those children become adults who listen to the likes of joe rogan. See the relevance now?
Deletesays the dude that has fauci shirt 🤣
Deleteagain stay on the subject . Joe rogan and the people that he appeals to.
DeleteOK sleepy Joe you can't even remember what you post
Deletewho’s sleepy joe and what relevance does he have to joe rogan listeners?
Deleteidk I heard he is some clown. Let's go Brandon
Deletewho’s Brandon and is he part of the joe rogan podcast?
Deleteidk u seem to know more about Rogan than anyone else https://giphy.com/gifs/election2016-rnc-election-2016-3o6ZsVbs2GzgKNvVpS
Deleteagain can you translate to English?
DeleteНет, я просто вступил в сговор с Россией.
Deletepretty sure you were a Putin puppet all along.
Deleteit has been fun make jest at your expense but your ignorance is starting to get boring. 🥱
Deletecalls me ignorant but can't prove his claim. Curious
