Make Joe Rogan Experience on Spotify Podcasts available to everyone globally

The Issue

Joe Rogan Experience on Spotify is not accessible in some parts of Europe, Russia, Brazil, South Korea, Iran, Egypt, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and many more places, including Spotify Premium users in these countries. We ask Spotify executives to make JRE available worldwide. JRE has been the number one podcast in the world because Joe Rogan himself values freedom of expression and uninterrupted access to information as a basic human right. JRE has always been free and accessible to everyone who had an internet connection, but right now, there are millions of frustrated fans all around the world who can't watch or listen to their favorite podcast. We are sure that Spotify executives and shareholders don't want to annoy JRE fans. 

Citing licensing and ownership constraints for not allowing fans to watch and listen to JRE is unacceptable because JRE was available on many platforms internationally before Spotify Podcasts. It's outright discrimination against fans who don't live in the US because JRE is not a Tv Show or a sporting event with complicated corporate legal licensing nonsense. JRE's international fan base has been contacting Spotify on community.spotify.com and Twitter, and the only answer we are getting is "we can't say when or if this is going to happen." which is unacceptable. Joe Rogan Experience is the biggest podcast in the world, and it should be available to the entire world.
