Bill and Chelsea Clinton announce podcast launch for summer
The Hill ^ | 05/02/19 | Joe Concha

Former President Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea Clinton, on Thursday announced they will launch a new podcast, titled "Why Am I Telling You This," this summer on Apple's iTunes platform.

The podcast is expected to feature the father-and-daughter team talking about "people, issues and events that shape our work and our world," according to Chelsea Clinton. It is also expected to discuss how to better engage with the Clinton Foundation.

"Growing up in Arkansas just after World War II in a family that didn't have a lot of money, most of our entertainment revolved around storytelling," Bill Clinton, the one-time Arkansas governor said in the introduction to the series available on iTunes. "Listening to my relatives and neighbors tell stories showed me that everyone has a story and that everyone's story has value."

"When I got into politics, I always thought that the main point of my work was to give people a chance to have better stories. And after I left office, that's the same purpose that led me to start the Clinton Foundation," he adds.

Clinton is known for being verbose, highlighted by his distinction of making the longest State of the Union address in history in 2000, when his remarks went on for 88 minutes.

Early interviews will include celebrity chef José Andrés and former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

Former First Lady and 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is not formally part of the production, but may appear periodically to speak about efforts of the Clinton Foundation.

On another FR thread, I have been promoting my podcast about Southeast Asian history. I guess I shouldn’t see this as competition, because a month ago I started talking about the Vietnam War, and of course Bill Clinton dodged that.

He can describe his cocaine benders, too.

They are trying everything possible to raise Chelsea’s profile as a serious political thinker, moving her from children’s picture books to a position of authority on the weighty issues of our time. Why? So she can run for office and extend the dynasty.

The first episode should be a complete reading of the Ken Starr report!

Keeping her in the news for an eventual Presidential run.

I would bet good money that this woman will run for president at the earliest opportunity.

~~~

Who actually pays for this stuff?

The Clintons are not beloved anymore, and they no longer have power and influence to broker.

This all seems like a desperate attempt to still feel relevant by people who spent their whole lives feeling very important
