Clear Your Schedule: Michelle Obama Is Launching a Podcast
Delish | 7/17/2020 | Madison Feller

Deep in the middle of a global pandemic, it’s only natural to want to hear from those who give you comfort and bring you joy.

Former first lady Michelle Obama knew what we needed. On Thursday, Obama took to social media to announce she’s hosting “The Michelle Obama Podcast” on Spotify in conjunction with her and former president Barack Obama’s production company, Higher Ground. In an Instagram post about the show, she wrote, “It’s been a tough year, and I hope this podcast can help us explore what we’re going through and spark new conversations with our loved ones.”

In her caption, Obama explained that in the first season of the show, she’ll talk to “some of the people most dear to me,” including her mother, brother, friends, and colleagues. CNN reports some of those guests will also include late-night host Conan O’Brien, Obama White House advisor Valerie Jarrett, and journalist Michele Norris.

She writes that she hopes the episodes will help people open up new and difficult conversations with the people they care about, as a way to build understanding and empathy for one another.

  1. I don’t know about topics but I know a guy who knows a guy and managed to get the opening monologue….

    “Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It is the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.”

  2. A year into Obama’s first term I realized I had never heard Michelle Obama speak. I did not know what her voice sounded like. I was determined to keep it that way throughout his Presidency. I was successful. Even today I still have no idea what she sounds like. I feel so blessed.

  3. 15 minutes to broader shoulders

    What to do when your husband where’s your jeans in public… and why it’s okay for Barack, but on Mitt they’re called mom jeans.
