Michelle Obama Podcast Ratings Compared to Joe Rogan's
Newsweek ^ | 3/13/2025 | Marni Rose McFall

Posted on 03/16/2025 10:52:49 AM PDT by simpson96

Former first lady Michelle Obama's new podcast with her brother Craig Robinson, titled IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, dropped its first two episodes on Wednesday; this is how its views so far compare with that of Joe Rogan.

(snip)

Data from Spotify and Apple Podcasts is not yet available for the show, however, the views that it received on YouTube are public, providing a snapshot into its listenership.

The podcast's first episode received 43,826 views as of press time, while the second, which featured an interview with Issa Rae, has received 14,000 views. In contrast, the most recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience received 749,795 views as of press time, a much higher viewership.

It's also important to note that this new podcast from Obama is very much in its infancy.

Well, they can’t very well say, that nobody wants to hear the wit and wisdom of Michelle Obama.

So they are left sputtering about side issues, such as how this podcast just started, implying they just haven’t found their audience yet, etc.

Because, it’s inconceivable to them, that nobody cares about Michelle’s podcast.

I guess Newsweak pimping for Big Mike didn’t help much.

well, still early, but historically liberal talk shows have never really attracted much attention. So, I do not see much improvement showing up over the long haul, is it makes it into long-haul territory. But who knows?

Rogan gained iconic stature when Trump guested.

It’s difficult to see how [s]he could expand her audience beyond a core group of angry black women who want to hear Moochelle’s diatribes.

Think Blackbeard. No not the pirate but her role as Obama’s partner. America wasn’t ready for an interracial couple in the WH so she served her purpose at her own cost. Stayed ‘in her lane’ just enough so leftism could proceed. As for the beard part who cares now?

I’m disgusting at times-gotta admit.

Liberalism is saturated on the airwaves, media/academia...

Like a plugged toilet, the poop has nowhere to go...it'll just pile up.

Perhaps if there were an "affirmative-action"/antitrust lawsuit to break up the monopoly poop-clog, COMPETITION could UN-do the clog, and allow TRUTH to flush out the waste, cleaning/clearing the information FLOW to the masses.

...NAH, the "ruling class" would NEVER allow that to happen.

A better comparison would have been to Gavin Newsome’s new podcast instead of a well established one. I have no idea what Newsom’s numbers were for his first episode, but I have a feeling it was more than 50,000 due to Charlie Kirk being the first guest.

Racism is ugly, most especially in the Obamas.

Will probably go the way of the Netflix bribery payoffs to the Obamas for those ridiculous documentaries.
