Michelle Obama now has a podcast - and you have to listen

In the first episode, Michelle invites husband Barack Obama for an intimate talk. And what shall we say? We can learn a lot from them …

As the US First Lady, we still miss Michelle Obama. And anyway, almost every day we feast on the wisdom of her book and the many interviews in which she explains life and the world to us with determination and honesty. Now she is starting a new era with her podcast "The Michelle Obama Podcast" (to be found on Spotify). And we are incredibly happy.

In her podcast, Michelle Obama speaks to her family, close friends and mentors about personal issues. In the first episode, the former first lady greets her husband Barack Obama. Together they offer personal insights into their everyday life after the presidency and the important role community plays in their lives.

The two also chat casually about the upbringing of their daughters, the crazy time during the quarantine and their relationship. You won't get any closer to our favorite couple. Our tip: Write down, learn, and hope to find a similar partnership one day …;-)
