Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson are to introduce a new weekly podcast, IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, this month. In an AP press release, it has been explained that the podcast will discuss “everyday questions shaping our lives, relationships and the world around us.” Since Michelle’s disappearance from the spotlight and Barack Obama’s numerous solitary appearances, fans are wondering whether the former First Lady will respond to persistent divorce rumors.
Star-Studded Guest List
The podcast will have a star-studded guest list, featuring actors Issa Rae and Keke Palmer, psychologist Dr. Orna Guralnik, and directors Seth and Lauren Rogen. Other guests include soccer legend Abby Wambach, authors Jay Shetty, Glennon Doyle, and Logan Ury, editor Elaine Welteroth, and radio host Angie Martinez. Media mogul Tyler Perry, actress Tracee Ellis Ross, and celebrity pair Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union will also be making an appearance. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky will also be appearing.
Spotify’s Take on the New Podcast
Spotify has characterized the podcast as a place where Michelle and Craig will share their distinct viewpoints on everything from politics to pop culture, providing real advice and real stories. “Each week, they’re joined by special guests to tackle audience questions with practical advice, relatable anecdotes, and plenty of laughs. From dating and relationships to parenting and financial planning, IMO sees the iconic First Lady at her most relaxed and honest. This podcast will leave you laughing, reflecting, and feeling more prepared to tackle life’s challenges,” Spotify said.
Will Michelle Obama Address Divorce Rumors?
Fans have been waiting with bated breath to know whether Michelle will discuss her marriage on the podcast. Michelle has been missing from public appearances in recent months, while Barack Obama has been seen alone on at least three occasions. These sightings created rumors about their relationship, and rumors even went around about Barack’s supposed affair with Jennifer Aniston. Nevertheless, even though they do not share public appearances very often, Michelle and Barack have exchanged loving social media posts to one another during their birthdays and Valentine’s Day.
Michelle Obama Discusses Divorce – But Not Her Own
The New York Times quotes that Michelle had indeed talked about divorce in the initial two episodes of the podcast. But what she was talking about was her brother Craig Robinson’s divorce from his wife Janis Robinson in 2000. The sibling pair also spoke about Michelle’s marriage to Barack Obama but made no references to any existing marital problems in the former First Couple.
As IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson premieres, audiences will get a closer look into the duo’s candid perspectives on life, relationships, and challenges, making it a must-listen for fans and followers alike.
