Poilievre appearing on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast Thursday

By Canadian Press on March 19, 2026.

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sat down for an interview with “The Joe Rogan Experience” for a podcast episode set to be released later today.

A spokesperson for Poilievre says he and Rogan recorded a full-length episode, which can run upwards of three hours.

Poilievre recorded the episode while in Austin, Texas recently, where he also met with Governor Greg Abbott.

In a May 6, 2025 episode of his podcast, Rogan said he’d invited Poilievre on the show previously but the offer was declined because the Conservative leader’s advisers concluded it would be “too problematic, or whatever.”

Rogan’s podcast routinely tops the Spotify charts and has 20.8 million subscribers on YouTube.

While Rogan has attracted controversy over the years over his stance on COVID-19 vaccinations and his endorsement of U.S. President Donald Trump, he’s criticized some Trump administration policies and has compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics to the Gestapo.
