Former President Donald Trump has hinted that he may soon sit down with popular podcast host Joe Rogan, igniting anticipation among both his supporters and podcast fans. During an appearance on the Nelk Boys’ “Full Send” podcast, Trump responded to a question from host Kyle Forgeard about a potential Rogan interview.
“You’re doing a lot of podcasts recently. One that I would love to see you on, I think Joe Rogan has to have you on. Would you do that?” Forgeard asked.
Trump replied confidently, “I think I’m doing it, actually.”
Forgeard pressed further, “So you are going to do Joe Rogan?”
“Yeah, I am,” Trump confirmed, sparking excitement among listeners.
Podcast Popularity in Campaign Season
JOE ROGAN WARNS KAMALA HARRIS WILL WIN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE ‘GIVING INTO THE BULLS—‘ LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, have been actively engaging with the public through podcasts and interviews since announcing their ticket. Trump has already appeared on several popular podcasts, including those hosted by Theo Von, Logan Paul, and comedian Andrew Schulz. He even sat down with financial advisor David Ramsey. This marks a concerted effort to reach a broader audience in an unfiltered way—a strategy his campaign is relying on to gain momentum.
Harris Takes to the Podcast Circuit Too
Vice President Kamala Harris has also embraced podcast interviews during this election season, making appearances on “Call Her Daddy” with Alex Cooper and the NBA-player-hosted “All the Smoke” with Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. The Harris-Walz ticket has clocked in at least 38 unscripted interviews so far, compared to Trump and Vance’s impressive count of 72 interviews.
Trump’s approach, which involves sharing unscripted conversations with audiences of various popular podcasters, seems aimed at connecting with the grassroots—with no teleprompters, no formality, just straight talk.
Anticipation for a Trump-Rogan Podcast
Rogan’s podcast hinted at a possible Trump appearance in a post on social media on Saturday, only fueling the buzz about this potential conversation. While no specific date has been set, both Trump fans and Rogan’s listeners are eagerly awaiting what could be an explosive and insightful interview.
During the “Full Send” podcast, Trump praised Rogan, referring to him as having a “good voice.” The hosts agreed, also calling Rogan an “honest guy.” For Trump, who has a penchant for speaking directly to his base, Rogan’s platform could be the ideal setting.
Engaging with the Unfiltered Media
It’s no secret that Trump has been leaning on podcast platforms to push his message out to audiences less likely to tune in to mainstream media. By tapping into the growing world of podcasts, Trump appears focused on sidestepping traditional media gatekeepers and instead opting for the authenticity and wide reach that podcasts like Joe Rogan’s offer.
With millions of listeners tuning in, Rogan’s podcast is one of the most influential platforms today. And for a figure like Trump, it’s not just about reaching people—it’s about reaching them directly, without interference, in the most raw and relatable way possible.
