Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson are teaming up to launch a new weekly podcast series starting this month.
IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson will address “everyday questions shaping our lives, relationships and the world around us”, according to a press release. IMO refers to the slang for “in my opinion.”
“There’s a lot going on in the world right now,” Obama, 61, wrote in a joint announcement post with her brother on Instagram. “We’re living through some really complicated and confusing times and on top of that, folks are trying to juggle family life, work dynamics, relationships, ageing parents, and more.”
Barack Obama’s wife goes on to talk about her close connection to her brother. “Craig is one of the people I turn to whenever I have anything on my mind,” the former first lady of the United States shared. “He always has the insights, the wisdom, and the humour to get me through anything. Together, we’ll share our perspectives about some of your questions. And we won’t be doing it alone. We’ll be joined by special guests, friends and experts along the way.”
