Are the Obamas not “cool” anymore?
The former First Lady Michelle Obama launched a podcast not too long ago, and one would think it would be a smash hit.
As it turns out, though, it seems like nobody is interested in listening!
Michelle’s Podcast Failing
Weeks after debuting her podcast with her older brother Craig Robinson, it’s been confirmed that it ranks just 34th on Spotify’s top podcast chart.
This is truly perplexing. Indeed, she was likely expecting her podcast to be a far bigger hit than that. Instead, her “IMO” podcast ranks far behind the top three podcasts, which are “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” Joe Rogan’s “The Joe Rogan Experience,” and Amy Poehler’s new podcast, “Good Hang,”
Michelle and Craig launched their podcast on March 12. Since then, Michelle has raised eyebrows by frequently using this podcast to complain about Barack.
“Well, Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what ‘on time’ was,” she said in the debut episode last month. “I’ve got this husband who’s like, when it’s time to leave — it’s 3:00 — he’s getting up and going to the bathroom. And I was like, dude, dude, 3:00 departure means you’ve done all that, you know?”
In this same interview, Michelle revealed that it was Craig who convinced her to support Barack’s run for president.
“I mean, we knew Barack was smart and, you know, ambitious,” she explained. “But you talked me into supporting his run, and he was smart enough to know that he needed to come to you and sell you on the idea.”

Obama Divorce Rumors
Michelle and Barack have been married for 32 years. Over the past few months, however, rumors have been swirling that they are preparing to divorce. These rumors escalated in a big way back in January, when Michelle attended neither Donald Trump’s inauguration nor Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Instead, Barack had to attend these official events solo. Michelle was the only living former First Lady not in attendance at each of these events.
“I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people. I’m not talking about TMZ, I’m not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he’s my friend,“ Meghan McCain said on political reporter Tara Palmeri’s podcast in January. ”I’m talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they’re hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true.”
“We’ve heard that for a long time,” replied Tara, who has long covered Washington politics. “Like I just heard that they live separate lives.”
Listen to Meghan and Tara talk more about this in the clip below.
Is Barack Dating Jennifer Aniston?
Rumors have also swirled that Barack has already moved on. Indeed, these rumors allege that he is dating the former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, who was forced to deny these allegations in October of last year. Jennifer was asked directly about the dating claims in an interview with the late night host Jimmy Kimmel.
“I was not mad at it, but that is absolutely untrue,” Jennifer said of the rumors at the time.
Watch Jennifer’s full defense of this in the video below.
Michelle and Barack each have yet to directly address their divorce rumors publicly. It will certainly be interesting to see if the Obama marriage can make it through this!
