The executive producer and host of Gimlet Media's Science Vs podcast said she would devote her fact-checking show exclusively to contradicting misinformation on other podcasts carried by parent company Spotify.
The announcement by Wendy Zukerman builds on protests by Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and others against Spotify's Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. They say Spotify is not doing enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19 misinformation.
Zukerman wrote that Rogan's interview with Dr Robert Malone, an infectious disease specialist who has become well-known among anti-vaccine Americans, took vaccine information "repeatedly out of context" and lacked scientific evidence that contradicts his claims - a topic a forthcoming Science Vs episode will address.The Spotify logo is displayed on a screen on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York, U.S., May 3, 2018.
Rogan's interview with Malone prompted a protest by rock star Neil Young, who said he did not want his music on a platform that promoted "false information about vaccines."
