According to Bloomberg News, Rogan’s podcast has an estimated 14.5 million followers on Spotify, with his audience believed to be overwhelmingly male.

The interview is set to take place at Rogan’s studio in Austin, Texas, according to a source who spoke anonymously to Politico.
While details about the discussion remain limited, the conversation is expected to cover a range of topics, including the election, Trump’s campaign strategies, legal challenges, and potential policy proposals.
Rogan’s interviews are known for being candid, often leading to unexpected moments, making the tone of this interaction particularly important for Trump’s campaign.
This isn’t Trump’s first time engaging with non-traditional media platforms.
Throughout his 2024 campaign, Trump has prioritized appearances on podcasts and streaming platforms, aiming to reach younger and more diverse audiences.
In August, Trump co-hosted a live-streamed conversation with X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk, a conversation that Musk claimed reached 1 billion viewers.
Trump has also appeared on popular shows such as Full Send Podcast and conducted interviews with social media figures like Adin Ross, a Twitch streamer with a large, younger audience.
Podcasts have emerged as an influential medium in recent years, especially for candidates looking to reach younger voters.
Unlike traditional news outlets, podcasts offer a more relaxed and direct platform for discussions, which can attract a wider range of listeners.
Rogan’s show, which regularly surpasses the viewership of mainstream cable news programs, is expected to generate significant attention for Trump’s campaign, providing a platform for him to bypass traditional media filters and speak directly to Rogan’s large and diverse audience.

Rogan’s past interviews with political figures, including Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have sparked national debates, but none of these interviews have the same level of political and cultural impact as the one with Trump is expected to have.
The upcoming interview could play a key role in shaping the narrative of Trump’s campaign in the final days before the election, especially if he manages to connect with undecided voters or solidify his support among independents and libertarians—groups that are known to align with Rogan’s audience.
As Trump and his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, remain in a tight race according to polling data from several swing states, this appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience could prove to be a pivotal moment.
Whether or not it will shift the needle in the election remains to be seen, but it is certain to generate significant attention in the final days leading up to November 5.
