Podcast giant Joe Rogan gets an interview with Trump before the election

Former President Trump will record an interview with podcast giant Joe Rogan on Friday, a campaign official told Fox News Digital.

“The Joe Rogan Experience” boasts the largest podcast audience in the United States, giving Trump another chance to woo younger, male voters, who make up the majority of Rogan’s audience. Rogan's show has 17.5 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 14 million followers on Spotify.

According to Politico, which first reported the story, Trump will record the interview at Rogan's studio in Austin, Texas.

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have made numerous stops on influential podcasts during the campaign season. Harris recently appeared on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, which has the largest female American audience, to discuss women's issues. Trump has been a guest on shows such as Barstool Sports' “Bussin with the Boys,” “Full Send” and Patrick Bet-David's podcast.

Harris' town hall only accepted “predetermined” questions, admits moderator Maria Shriver

An interview with Harris was reportedly discussed on Rogan's show, although no interview has been scheduled two weeks before Election Day.

Part of Rogan's appeal to fans is his lack of overt partisanship, as he has expressed support for figures as diverse as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and, at times, even Trump , although he also once called the latter a threat to democracy. He said he voted for Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgenson in 2020.

Trump teased Rogan on Truth Social earlier this year after Rogan had kind words for Kennedy, who later dropped his campaign and endorsed Trump.

“It will be interesting to see how loudly Joe Rogan gets booed the next time he steps into the UFC ring??? MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in August.

Rogan has also defended Trump, saying he did not act like a “dictator” and ensured the economy did well when he was president, despite critics' claims. He also said last month that a Harris administration would not improve conditions for free speech in the United States.

Podcaster Joe Rogan warned on a Sept. 26 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” that Kamala Harris would put “more restrictions” on her freedom of speech online if elected president. (“The Joe Rogan Experience”)

MSNBC analyst suggests men who support Trump and listen to Rogan are 'in crisis' and need 'therapy'

There are no political guests in most episodes of the series, as Rogan – a stand-up comedian and UFC commentator – tends to bring a diverse group of guests, including other comedians, academics, journalists, actors and other celebrities.

Rogan's show and its freewheeling conversational style often challenge institutional norms and mainstream groupthink, and therefore make the show and its large audience a subject of interest, controversy and even envy for other media organizations.

Earlier this year, Rogan predicted Harris would win the election.
