FYI: Spotify is removing our shows in error

If you're a SpSpotifyser, you may have noticed some shows from The Iowa Podcast have mysteriously vanished from the app. Their systems are currently auto-flagging our intro music as a copyright violation, despite us providing license information and evidence we have the rights to use the music. In fact, we even received a customized version of our song directly from the artist himself. We believe in paying artists.

We have appealed to 5 times to SpSpotifyCaresnd have reached out directly to their customer service who simply ended our chat with no explanation.

In our quick research, we found it's happening to many creators, including one person who actually wrote his own intro song!

Until this is resolved, we suggest you listen on other platforms like YouTube, via our online player, through X, or via Apple podcasts. Here are those links:
