It is only available through Spotify so I am assuming there is money involved. You can listen using the free subscription version of Spotify. To be fair, the podcast is done through Higher Ground &#8211; the Obama media company &#8211; so the production value (e.g., nice music) is high. I could not help thinking this may be the initial step in an Oprah empire. While the Obamas obviously have political interests, this is not what I consider a political podcast. It involves issues and featured guests. The first full offering is Barack and Michelle talking about their life stories. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle Obama has a podcast and it is very good.
