Michelle Obama's Podcast Faces Dismal Ratings, Struggles for Popularity

Michelle Obama's new podcast, 'IMO (In My Opinion)' with her brother Craig Robinson, has failed to impress, garnering only 62,000 views on YouTube and ranking 34th on Spotify shortly after its launch. Critics have labeled the podcast as 'bland' and questioned its appeal, especially considering the couple's high-profile status. Despite featuring notable guests like Issa Rae and Seth Rogen, the show has struggled to compete with other popular podcasts, including 'The Mel Robbins Podcast' and 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler.' Some observers have suggested that Michelle could enhance the show's appeal by featuring her husband, former President Barack Obama, given his enduring popularity. Meanwhile, rumors about the state of the Obamas' marriage have surfaced, adding to the scrutiny surrounding the podcast's performance. The lackluster ratings have disappointed supporters who hoped for a strong liberal voice in the podcasting landscape.
