Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, launched their video podcast on Monday, March 10, and uploaded their first two episodes on Wednesday to kickstart their new media venture.
However, the two episodes garnered 47,000 and 15,000 views within their first 24 hours on the platform. In comparison, the first episode of California Governor Gavin Newsom's new podcast drew in over 743,000 views on YouTube and Joe Rogan's show pulls anywhere from 500,000 to 56 million viewers and listeners an episode.
Interestingly, the former first lady previously admitted that she “couldn’t stand” her husband for a decade while their children were growing up, as Trending Politics reported.
"Former First Lady Michelle Obama has begun a new podcast alongside her brother, Craig Robinson.
"Obama, a prominent figure int he political world and elsewhere, was believed to have a successful podcast. However, it appears that the former first lady has yet to succeed doing podcasts." . . .
. . ."Conservative commentator Alex Bruesewitz pointed out that despite the mainstream media “hyping up” the former first lady’s show, it still managed to perform poorly.
" 'Michelle Obama debuted her new podcast a couple of days ago, with the full weight of the mainstream media machine hyping it up across every major outlet and network—free promotion that most creators could only dream of,” he said." . . .
Michelle Obama’s first couple podcast episodes absolutely flopped not even getting a combined 20,000 views in the 15 hours after posting.
