Higher Ground, the media group founder by former President Obama and his wife, on Monday, launched “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson”. Wednesday saw the release of the first two episodes, which included an introduction and an interview with actress Issa Rae.
In her first episode, Michelle, 61, complained that Barack Obama, 63, had a terrible habit of arriving late.
“I got this husband who's like, when it's time to leave, it's three o'clock, he's getting up and going to the bathroom!” the author of Becoming stated, as per Newsweek. “And I was like, 'Dude, dude, like three o'clock departure means you've done all that,' you know? It's like, don't start looking for your glasses, you know, at the three o'clock departure.”
She further noted that Obama has “improved” over 30 years of their marriage.
The mother of two, who is parent to Malia and Sasha, said she taught her girls to be on time.
“If they're doing anything with me, they are early, so they've learned how to snap to it.”
The former First Lady has hosted Michelle Obama Podcast before. According to her website bio, it “was the most successful original in Spotify history, bringing in more women listeners over 40 than any other podcast” when it was first released in 2020.
