Kamala Harris is in the midst of a media blitz this week , including an interview on CBS ’s 60 Minutes and an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert .

But she is also dipping into the world of mega-popular, not straightforwardly journalistic podcasts.

I spoke with my colleague Helen Lewis , who covers the podcast-sphere, about why she is spending time on these sorts of shows.

The Joe Rogan Experience is the top-listened-to podcast on Spotify and arguably the most influential behemoth of them all.

We need to stop treating these podcasts as the “alternative” media when they are absolutely the mainstream these days , Lora says.

Lora : Team Trump would love to get on the show, but Rogan isn't a full MAGA partisan.
