For a third straight year, Joe Rogan's Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast is once again the most streamed podcast worldwide on Spotify.The streaming platform didn't reveal the exact number of listeners and viewers, but it's a good sign for the company as their investment in Rogan and his popular podcast has paid off.The UFC commentator has featured many different guests that appeal to a variety of genres such as MMA, stand-up comedy, music, acting, and much more. Despite JRE being the most streamed podcast, there was still a somewhat of a mixed reaction to the news on Twitter:"I've listened to a few podcasts and he gives touch credence to ideas that have no evidence to support them in order to get ratings. For every one guest that is reliable, he has 10 that aren't, but he weighs them equally."Larry Vincent@LarryJoeVincent@alu_dean @WSJ I've listened to a few podcasts and he gives touch credence to ideas that have no evidence to support them in order to get ratings.

With that in mind, it will be interesting to see whether the streaming platforms offer the UFC commentator more money for a longer agreement because of the numbers that JRE has generated.Will Joe Rogan extend his exclusive deal with Spotify?UFC 277 Weigh-inJoe Rogan's Spotify deal has had its benefits but it has also had its fair share of hurdles. JRE is exclusive to the platform, which means that he is unable to livestream his podcast to his PowerfulJRE YouTube channel like he did in years past.Neil Cybart@neilcybartNYT is reporting the Spotify/Joe Rogan deal is actually worth more than $200M, significantly higher than the "more than $100M" previously reported. Deal is for 3.5 years w/ extension clauses. Basically in the ballpark of Howard Stern's deal with SiriusXM on a per year basis.133NYT is reporting the Spotify/Joe Rogan deal is actually worth more than $200M, significantly higher than the "more than $100M" previously reported.

He could possibly decide to pursue a long-term deal with certain stipulations, or perhaps continue on his podcast framework with Spotify.
