Higher Ground had talked to Spotify as well, but it \u201cdeclined to make an offer,\u201d Bloomberg<\/em> says. Higher Ground apparently wants to be able to make multiple shows and release them on platforms simultaneously, which would go against Spotify\u2019s typical exclusives-based strategy. <\/p>\n Higher Ground, Amazon, and iHeartMedia didn\u2019t immediately reply to a request for comment. Spotify spokesperson Grey Munford declined to comment.<\/p>\n Spotify has come under significant scrutiny lately as the home of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, an arrangement that is reportedly worth $200 million<\/a> and whatever headaches come from Rogan\u2019s opinions about vaccines. Musicians including Neil Young<\/a> and Joni Mitchell<\/a> removed their music from the streaming service in protest. It\u2019s unclear if the controversy surrounding Rogan contributed to the Obamas\u2019 decision to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
