Barack Obama is keeping busy since leaving the White House. The former Commander in Chief has released several books, appeared on countless chat shows, and headlined multiple speaking engagements. He can now add podcasting to his resume.
The 44th President of the United States has joined with Spotify for Renegades: Born In The USA. The eight-episode podcast finds Obama chatting with longtime friend and chart-topping rocker Bruce Springsteen. The series will focus on a “long and meaningful conversation” between himself and the rock legend.
“On the surface, Bruce and I don’t have a lot in common,” Obama narrates in the promotional video below. “He’s a white guy from a small town in Jersey. I’m a black guy of mixed race, born in Hawaii. He’s a rock ‘n’ roll icon. I’m… not as cool.”
The series is set to be a deep dive into both men’s lives with a focus on modern issues, although there are a number of lighter stories, such as a yachting trip with Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks in 2017.
You can listen to the first two episodes of Renegades: Born In The USA on Spotify now.
