In an exciting new venture, Higher Ground—the acclaimed production company founded by Michelle Obama and former President Barack Obama—announces the launch of a compelling podcast series featuring the former First Lady and her brother Craig Robinson. Titled *IMO: In My Opinion*, this series is set to delve deep into everyday life, tackling thought-provoking questions with a diverse lineup of experts and celebrity guests.
The debut episodes are scheduled to premiere on March 12, with the first serving as an introduction and the second showcasing actress and writer Issa Rae. The series promises new episodes released weekly, accessible across all major audio platforms and YouTube, ensuring that listeners can join the conversation anytime.
Notable guests expected to appear throughout the season include actress Keke Palmer, motivational speaker Jay Shetty, filmmaker Tyler Perry, Olympic champion Abby Wambach, and many others. Each episode aims to touch on significant life themes, such as maintaining friendships as adults, fostering healthy relationships in marriage, balancing personal and professional life, and the challenges posed by caring for aging parents.
Michelle Obama expressed her intentions for the podcast, stating, “In today’s world, we’re all searching for answers and connections. Craig and I envisioned the *IMO* podcast as a place where individuals can come as they are, share honest questions, and engage in meaningful conversations about life’s complexities, whether they relate to family, personal values, or our relationships.”
Listeners can also look forward to a special live recording of the podcast at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas, on March 13 at 1 PM CT, where Obama and Robinson will invite audience members to partake in their dialogue.
Adding to the rich catalog of shows produced by Higher Ground, the new podcast builds on the success of Michelle Obama’s *The Michelle Obama Podcast* and *Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast*, which featured enlightening conversations with renowned figures like Oprah Winfrey and Conan O'Brien.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected yet still faces numerous challenges, *IMO: In My Opinion* aims to provide a platform for discussion and understanding, fostering community and support during trying times.
