The former president’s campaign confirms he will tape-record a session with the Joe Rogan Experience on Friday.
Former President Donald Trump is slated for one of his biggest audiences during the 2024 presidential campaign season: The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
The Trump campaign confirmed to The Epoch Times on Oct. 22 that the former president will record a session with Rogan this week. A Trump adviser confirmed Politico’s report that Trump would go to Rogan’s studio in Austin, Texas, on Friday. Rogan later confirmed the interview in a post on X, saying “Here with go!”
The announcement follows speculation that began circulating in recent days: Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk had stated that the Trump-Rogan podcast would happen, and Trump also made a statement suggesting that he would be a guest on the show.
Rogan, a former comedian, reaches an enormous audience on his long-form interview podcast. On Spotify alone, the podcast reportedly draws upwards of 14 million listeners, Bloomberg News has reported. Rogan’s Instagram account boasts 19.3 million followers.
Trump and Rogan have been at odds at times. In 2022, for example, Trump said Rogan shouldn’t apologize to left-wing “maniacs and lunatics” about the content of his show. At the time, Rogan was facing controversy over segments focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic.
The news of Trump’s appearance with Rogan follows reports last week that Trump’s Democratic opponent in the Nov. 5 election, Vice President Kamala Harris, was also considering appearing on Rogan’s show.
