Former President Trump is set to have a conversation with podcaster Joe Rogan this week. The recording will take place at Rogan’s studio in Austin, Texas, on Friday, according to a source familiar with the arrangements, as confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday. Politico was the first to break the news.
Earlier this month, Trump hinted at the upcoming interview, referring to Rogan as a “good guy” and complimenting him for “being so well known” in the UFC promotion scene.
In recent weeks, Trump has shifted away from traditional media interviews, favoring interactions with online influencers, podcast hosts, and segments on conservative cable networks.
Additionally, Vice President Harris’s campaign has reportedly been in discussions with Rogan’s team regarding a potential interview before the Nov. 5 election.
As one of the most well-known and polarizing figures in media today, Rogan’s show consistently attracts millions of downloads and features discussions with major news figures.
This will be the first time Trump appears on Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Rogan has faced criticism for his views on public health and other contentious topics over the years. Earlier in the year, he secured a substantial $250 million deal with Spotify for the distribution of his show.
