Brown says she won't be releasing any new episodes of the show until further notice. Neil Young and Joni Mitchell pulled their music off the platform in protest of Joe Rogan's controversial series.
Brown signed a multi-year deal with the streaming service in 2020 and is the host of two exclusive podcasts.
I will not be releasing any podcasts until further notice. To our #UnlockingUs and #DaretoLead communities, I’m sorry and I'll let you know if and when that changes.

The Joe Rogan Experience has been accused of spouting baseless conspiracy theories and misinformation. The singer asked the platform to choose between him and Rogan, and the platform removed his music. Mitchell's departure from Spotify came shortly after, and she says she stands in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities.
Lofgren removed his music from the platform after joining the boycott. According to reports, the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex are worried about misinformation on the streaming service, and signed an exclusive deal with it in 2020.
Dozens of medical and scientific professionals have signed an open letter that says the Joe Rogan Experience spreads misinformation and false claims about COVID-19 vaccines. The company struck a $100 million deal with Rogan in 2020 and since has experienced such high-profile dropouts.
