This week, Brie tackled the latest Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy with an all-star panel: Taylor Lorenz, technology reporter for the New York Times; heterodox writer at Substack Freddie DeBoer; & Evan Greer -- activist and musician with an album titled "Spotify is Surveillance." Is the push to cancel Rogan over vaccine-skeptical guests evidence of illiberalism among the left? What is Rogan's obligation to vet his guests and fact check them on the spot? Is he just asking questions, or is he platforming a dangerous agenda? Could it be both? Is the alleged "misinformation" Rogan is spreading any worse than what is being spread by mainstream media? Is fact checking always going to be an imperfect art when it comes to independent media? How do you solve a problem like Maria? Also, Brie asks the guests about the New York Times buying Wordle: Is it the end of an era?
