The world's largest music streaming service Spotify has said that it is working on adding advisory warnings to any podcast on its platform that discusses Covid-19.

The move follows criticism of the streaming giant's work with Joe Rogan, a US podcast host who has interviewed vaccine-skeptics.

CEO Daniel Ek said the new warning will redirect users to a data hub of coronavirus facts.

In a statement posted to Spotify's website, Mr Ek wrote that it has "become clear to me that we have an obligation to do more to provide balance and access to widely-accepted information from the medical and scientific communities guiding us through this unprecedented time".

Jawn Murray, a popular culture commentator and TV presenter based in Washington DC says "Businesses should want to protect their consumers, and you shouldn't be more interested in your bottom line which is a successful podcast, than you are in the consumers"
