3 prediction markets price this story:

• The Joe Rogan Experience — the market puts it at 83%, closing 31 Mar 2027. The outcome is Yes if The Joe Rogan Experience ranks as the number one podcast on Spotify throughout the entire year of 2026. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a contract renewal for the actual ranking data required for resolution.
• Above 328 million — the market puts it at 2%, closing 31 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Spotify Technology S.A. reports having more than 328 million premium subscribers in 2026. It resolves to No if the company reports 328 million or fewer subscribers during that year. Readers often mistake the date of a temporary service outage for the deadline, but only the official subscriber count reported by Spotify matters.
• Donald Trump — the market puts it at 11%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump appears on the Joe Rogan Experience before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if that appearance does not happen within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked SNL story for a relevant event, but only an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience counts toward resolution.
