Michelle Obama’s new podcast with her brother Craig Robinson is off to a rough start. The show, called IMO, promises to tackle life’s big questions but has struggled to find an audience. Critics say it feels forced and out of touch with everyday Americans.
The first episodes barely cracked 30,000 views on YouTube. Comments flooded in calling the podcast “unnecessary” and a “desperate grab for attention.” Many asked why the Obamas keep pushing projects nobody wants. It’s another example of Hollywood elites thinking their opinions matter more than regular folks’.
Rumors about Michelle and Barack’s marriage have swirled for years. The podcast dances around the topic, mentioning “challenges” in relationships. Some wonder if this is just another way to stay in the headlines. After 32 years of marriage, why talk about private struggles now? It feels like a distraction from bigger issues facing the country.
Liberals keep trying to copy conservative media’s success with podcasts. But their shows often flop. Conservatives connect by talking about real problems—border security, inflation, and freedom. Michelle’s podcast focuses on vague topics like “adult friendships” and “work-life balance.” That’s not what hardworking Americans care about.
The podcast features guests like Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer. These celebrities don’t understand normal people’s lives. Discussing “aging parents” or “financial planning” with millionaires comes off as fake. Regular families worry about putting food on the table, not Hollywood advice.
Some say Michelle is using this to launch a political career. Starting a podcast is a common move before campaigning. But voters see through it. Conservatives want leaders who focus on solutions, not personal drama. If she runs, she’ll face tough questions about her husband’s policies—not her marriage troubles.
Craig Robinson adds little to the show. His background in basketball doesn’t help discuss serious topics. The siblings’ dynamic feels awkward, like a bad family reunion. Americans respect strong families, but this comes off as staged.
The Obamas keep chasing fame instead of serving the public. While conservatives fight for America’s future, liberals waste time on vanity projects. This podcast won’t save their relevance. It’s just another reminder that their time in the spotlight is fading fast.
