Former President Donald Trump is gearing up to make waves with an upcoming appearance on Joe Rogan’s wildly popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Despite previous speculation, a source has now confirmed the interview is set for Friday, October 25, at Rogan’s studio in Austin, Texas. For conservatives eagerly anticipating a long-form discussion with Trump, this is the moment they have been waiting for.
With an average of 11 million listeners per episode, Rogan’s podcast is a veritable giant in the media landscape, where he has gained a reputation for hosting in-depth conversations that last anywhere from two to four hours. Trump has a knack for keeping the audience engaged with his characteristic humor and tendency to delve into a variety of subjects. This interaction is likely to break records, potentially bringing Trump’s fans into the Rogan fold and vice versa.

Trump has seen considerable success on various podcasts that cater to predominantly male audiences, such as “Last Weekend with Theo Von” and “Flagrant.” His recent appearances on those shows have cracked up audiences and revved up enthusiasm for his candid commentary about political opponents, including a particularly entertaining take on President Biden. It is this comedic and charismatic style that will undoubtedly shine through during his chat with Rogan, who has increasingly aligned himself with conservative and MAGA ideals.
The relationship between Trump and Rogan hasn’t always been smooth sailing. The former president has had his share of critical remarks about the podcaster, especially when Rogan suggested that most politicians are manipulative, except for Robert Kennedy Jr. Nevertheless, this upcoming interview presents an opportunity for both men to find common ground and connect with their audiences in a new way.
One of the prevailing questions surrounding the interview is whether Rogan will bring up COVID or vaccine-related topics. Rogan has already sparked waves of criticism for his take on vaccines, so it wouldn’t be surprising for those controversies to enter the discussion. Trump, who navigated the rocky waters of the pandemic as president, may have shared experiences to offer. The contrast between Rogan’s outspoken skepticism and Trump’s presidential perspective could lead to an enlightening exchange that resonates with listeners who are tired of mainstream media narratives.
In the backdrop of Trump’s podcast debut with Rogan, the whispers of Kamala Harris potentially appearing on the show seem amusingly misplaced. It’s hard to envision a one-on-one conversation with her thriving when she struggles to articulate any coherent policy direction beyond what Biden has already laid out. With Rogan’s audience craving genuine discourse, it’s reasonable to assume they would prefer Trump’s witty and articulate monologues over Harris’s often clumsy responses. This podcast event will serve as a stark reminder of the contrasting media capabilities and charisma between these two political figures.
