AUSTIN, Texas —  Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance will travel to Austin, Texas, on Wednesday to tape Joe Rogan’s podcast, CNN reported Tuesday.

CNN said the episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” will drop later in the week.

This comes a week after Vance’s running mate, former President Donald Trump, taped a three-hour interview with Rogan. Trump’s interview was released Friday night and included topics ranging from the former president’s rallies to the existence of UFOs.

Also on Friday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris appeared in Houston with superstar Beyoncé at a rally focused on abortion rights.

Rogan and Trump have a complicated relationship. Rogan had previously said that he declined to host Trump on his podcast before, but that he did not want to do it because he did not want to help him.

Earlier this year, Trump criticized Rogan after the podcaster said that then-candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. was the only candidate running who made sense to him. Kennedy has since suspended his bid, endorsed Trump and joined him on the campaign trail.

The podcaster is known for his hourslong interviews on "The Joe Rogan Experience," which is listed as No. 1 in the United States, according to Spotify's charts. He calls women "chicks" and once laughed as a comedian friend described repeatedly coercing young women comics into sex.

Rogan's podcast draws a large male audience, many of whom are young. It's an audience Trump is targeting. 

Rogan, in an Oct. 28 post on X, formerly Twitter, said he remains open to interviewing Harris prior to Election Day.

“Also, for the record the Harris campaign has not passed on doing the podcast. They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour,” Rogan wrote. “I strongly feel the best way to do it is in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being.”
