What is Michelle Obama’s new podcast about?

Alongside her brother Craig Robinson, the 61-year-old former first lady will conduct interviews with a range of guests for her podcast, IMO, which stands for "in my opinion," according to the New York Times.

Higher Ground, the production business established by the Obamas in 2018, made the announcement about the podcast. On Wednesday, the first two episodes will be made available, as quoted in a report by the Daily Mail.

The business has already produced a celebrity interview show on family recipes and a limited series about Steve Wonder. The Michelle Obama Podcast was a podcast that Michelle used to host.

According to the NYT, they are each approximately an hour long and feature the hosts giving advice based on their own experiences without touching on current events.

Who are the guests on IMO?

During difficult times, such as Robinson's divorce and Michelle's early hesitancy about Obama's candidacy for president, the siblings shared their personal experiences and offered guidance.

A variety of celebrities, including Jay Shetty, Tyler Perry, and Seth Rogen, will be attending the project.

Are the Obamas addressing divorce rumors?

After the former president went to a Los Angeles Clippers NBA game without Michelle, the rumors grew more intense. The 63-year-old's marriage has been the subject of growing scrutiny for several months as Michelle Obama was conspicuously absent from both Donald Trump's inauguration and Jimmy Carter's state funeral.

However, the Obamas have time and again tried to allay the rumors.

Obama shared a romantic selfie of the couple on Instagram on Valentine's Day to quell the rumors. Michelle added the photo with the caption, "If there's one person I can always count on, it's you, Barack Obama. You're my rock. Always have been. Always will be."
