Trump has done a series of interviews with podcasters and alternative media that together comprise a concerted effort to reach young men.

Trump has been appearing on alternative, male-dominated media outlets with big audiences.

The Trump campaign told reporters that they are targeting a key group of voters that makes up just over a tenth of the electorate in swing states.

The group includes more Latinos and Asian-Americans than the general population.

On the podcast circuit, there’s plenty of messing around, but sometimes the hosts seem awestruck, deferential or even nervous.

But their audiences aren’t demanding tough questioning or detailed policy positions.

Trump is making a hard pivot towards male voters - for instance filling the Republican National Convention stage with the likes of Kid Rock , Hulk Hogan and UFC chief executive Dana White .
