Spotify needed Joe Rogan. And Joe Rogan needed Spotify. So they're sticking together.

• Spotify has renewed its deal with Joe Rogan, the biggest star in podcasting.
• The deal could be worth a reported $250 million.
• Both Rogan and Spotify give each other things they can't get anywhere else.

Spotify spent a ton of money getting into podcasting, and then it started cutting back. But it's still going to be a major force in podcasting for years to come — because it's hanging on to Joe Rogan.
