Joe Rogan apologised Saturday for using a racial slur in past episodes of his popular podcast, many episodes of which have been removed from Spotify without explanation.

A video compilation of Rogan using the N-word circulated Friday. In an Instagram post, Rogan described the video as "horrible” and said it was the "most regretful and shameful thing” he’s ever had to talk about.
