Joe Rogan Experience podcast to interview Donald Trump today. Here's what you need to know about the show.

Joe Rogan will interview Donald Trump today, marking the first time the popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience will feature a former president on the program.

Trump's interview with Rogan comes as the former president has opted out of some appearances on major television networks (including CBS News, the parent company of CBSNews.com), while still providing interviews to podcasters and YouTube channels like the Logan Paul Podcast.

The Joe Rogan Experience, the most popular podcast on Spotify, has attracted more than 14 million audiences on the streaming service. Rogan's free-form interviews have included everyone from scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson to artists such as Post Malone. Its audience is 80% male, but is split between Democrats, Republicans and independents, which could pose a key opportunity for candidates as they campaign in the final days leading up to Election Day on Nov. 5, according to Edison Research.

“With such a diverse and politically balanced audience, Rogan's show provides candidates with an invaluable opportunity to reach key voter groups, particularly independents and younger voters,” Edison said in a blog post at beginning of the month.
