Another exciting thing that has happened for the Obamas was Michelle launching her podcast. Last July, she launched her "The Michelle Obama Podcast" on Spotify, which has a different theme for each episode.

The debut episode focused on the community, and Michelle’s husband got to sit down with her as her guest. The press release noted that the conversation would be intimate and would also focus on their relationship.
