Welcome! We are back with another edition of the Spotify Newsletter.
No wordy screed this week! I’m more at ease. A big Super Bowl weekend and the threat of war in Eastern Europe has pushed the ‘Joe Rogan & Spotify are Destroying the World’ narrative off the front page. At least for now. Surely someone will find an objectionable podcast episode in the archives.
Neil Young is probably still upset about something, but let’s hope we’re beyond the worst of it. Time to shift back into happy-happy-happy Spotify thoughts … and lots of fun listening to great music on our favorite music streaming platform. 😀
