As she explains in the introduction, Obama is going to tackle the big questions on important issues including the coronavirus pandemic to the evolving conversation around race. But that doesn’t mean she’s not going to have some fun along the way.

She says: “I don’t want this podcast to be prescriptive… or present anyone’s ideas as truth. I just want it to feel like we’re sitting together on a park bench or in the booth of a restaurant with the jukebox playing. And most importantly, I hope this podcast sparks ideas and topics that all you listeners can open up with in your own circles… maybe it’ll inspire you to have some conversations with loved ones that you’ve been putting off.”

And if that’s got you in the mood for great podcasts by even greater women, why not check out recent releases such as: Doing It Right with Pandora Sykes, Slay in Your Lane The Podcast by Yomi Adegoke and Elizabeth Uviebinené, The Gurls Talk Podcast by Adwoa Aboah and The Guilty Feminist with Deborah Frances-White.
