This is one of the latest podcasts from Spotify and is hosted by none other than the former First Lady Michelle Obama. In ‘The Michelle Obama Podcast’, the host dives deep into conversations with loved ones. In fact, in the inaugural episode, her guest is former US President Barack Obama. The power couple talks about the role of community in their growing up years and their shared dreams and goals. One could easily connect with Michelle Obama when she says, “Growing up all I ever wanted was a house with stairs.” Or the easy manner in which the former president jokes that it was his looks that made Michelle Obama fall in love with him. So far it remains our favourite episode.
The show, which went on air in mid July, has had a handful of episodes till date. In the podcast, Michelle Obama talks to her family, friends, colleagues and other loved ones on relationships that matter in our lives and make us who we are. The production quality is slick and the topics are well-weaved into the times we live in. The striking feature is the easy conversational style, the camaraderie between the host and her guests and the way they talk about women’s health issues to protests under the pandemic. Download Spotify if you haven’t till date and allow Michelle Obama into your lives.
