Breaking News: Michelle Obama Announces Exciting New Project After Fans Express Concern Over Multiple Missed Event…See More

The former First Lady is teaming up with her brother, Craig Robinson, for the new venture.
Since Michelle Obama skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, rumors have swirled about her taking a step back from public life. But now the former First Lady is in the spotlight again with a new project, which happens to be a joint venture with her older brother, Craig Robinson.
The siblings are joining forces for a new podcast, IMO With Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, which will “uncover the shared experiences that connect us all,” per Variety.
Produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, the podcast features the brother and sister co-hosts discussing “everyday questions” with the help of a series of special guests.
From resilience in the face of life’s challenges to navigating relationships, parenting, family and faith, IMO sees the First Lady at her most relaxed and honest,” according to an announcement from Higher Ground.
“With everything going on in the world, we’re all looking for answers and people to turn to,” Michelle Obama said. “My brother Craig and I launched the IMO podcast to create a space for people to come as they are, ask honest questions, give their opinions and have thoughtful conversations about life. There is no single way to deal with the challenges we may be facing—whether it’s family, faith or our personal relationships—but taking the time to open up and talk about these issues can provide hope.”
Among the guests scheduled to appear on the series are Tyler Perry, Keke Palmer, Tracee Ellis Ross, Seth and Lauren Rogen, Jay Shetty, Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach, Elaine Welteroth, Angie Martinez, and Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.
Following the introductory premiere episode, Issa Rae will be the first guest to appear in an episode about dealing with “mismatched expectations in adult friendships.”
The first two episodes of IMO will launch March 12, with subsequent episodes released weekly after that.
