Spotify remains in hot water over Covid and vaccine misinformation spread by one of the streaming service's star podcasters, Joe Rogan.
It kicked off last week when musicians Neil Young and Joni Mitchell removed their music from the platform in protest of misleading and false claims made by the podcast host and his guests about the pandemic.
Spotify responded by saying they will add content advisories to any podcast that discusses coronavirus.

Dr Kevin Trenberth is an internationally recognised expert on climate change and honorary academic at the Faculty of Science at the University of Auckland. He talks to Jesse about how misinformation spreads so quickly.
