Michelle Obama’s latest venture has proven to become a humiliating failure after her brand new podcast failed to make a dent in the charts.
The podcast, which features Michelle and her brother, Craig Robinson, interviewing an array of famous faces, was expected to become a hit straight out the gate due.
However, sadly for Michelle, her launch has failed to make an impact, with the first two episodes ranking up just 62,000 viewers in the first 24 hours they were made available to stream on YouTube.
The numbers on Spotify also failed to hit any highs, with recent statistics placing it as the 34th most listened to show on the platform, according to the streamer’s charts.
IMO released two episodes initially, the first titled, You Should Start a Podcast with Your Sibling. The second episode featured executive producer and actress Issa Rae, and was titled, Some Friendships Need to Go.
The duo also have episodes featuring Hollywood stars such as Seth Rogen and his wife Lauren, psychology professor Dr. Laurie Santos, Keke Palmer, and podcaster Jay Shetty.
“This is extremely embarrassing,” commented one critic as the numbers were reported on X.
Another remarked: “Who was asking for a podcast from Michelle Obama though?”
The numbers mark a disappointment for Democrats in the US who are scrambling to find a “Joe Rogan of the left” after the controversial podcaster helped get Donald Trump elected due his popularity with young male voters.
Rogan is currently the most listened to podcaster in the world, clocking in at 39.9 million followers.

Matt Walsh played a few minutes of it. Absolutely I suffers my self-absorbed and boring. They’re both thoroughly convinced that they’re the most interesting g people in the world
Snow White Mike?
The protester looks disturbingly like my ex, right down to the Birkenstocks...
This is Air America updated for the podcast era.
Maybe an episode on prostate health would kick the ratings up.
That’s one ugly dude, right there.
Leftist and Communist can’t do the Internet. They can’t even do TV. They’ve become something to be mocked and laughed it. A great source of comedy to be sure! Look at the View. That’s what’s playing at the assisted living facilities and hospitals where they have a captive audience. I’d jump out the window.
He endorsed Donald Trump in 2024 because he felt that he had no choice but to do it.
Klingon, no makeup needed.
BTTT
The obamas have always been fake. The media made it look like he could walk on water when he is a stumbling bumbling bum who cannot speak well, cannot throw a baseball and cannot drive a car. He always is so self important when he is really the dumbest person in the room.
I believe there was vote fraud plus his opponents threw the election. Romney had his son taking bribes from Ukraine and probably many other countries so I figure he was told to let obama win and John McCain stopped campaigning less then 2 months from the election... he was also taking bribes from Ukraine and he supported mideast terrorists.
“Cancel it and you’re raaaaaciist!!!”
No doubt like Megan Markels ridiculous Netflix show which was an unmitigated bomb Mike has some guarantees that his podcast won’t get pulled so as to not humiliate him. The ratings will do that. LOL
