A Great Listen

So I came here after listening to Becoming on Audio for the second time. I moved from the U.K. to U.S to work at the NYS Senate. This podcast has been a true inspiration. It has given me exposure to issues and problem solving strategies. Also a mentally prepared me of possibilities to come

Delusions…

…more whimsy from the author of the fiction best seller ‘Becoming’, and wife of the President who started the downward spiral of racial tensions and retro-anger in the US. In this pod she chats with only people who agree with her woke nonsense & never faces a question that her leftie script doesn’t already give an answer to.
Michelle is such a ‘celeb’ in the millennial way (talentless) she needs her own fragrance ‘Make Believe’ by Obama…sold at all good race riots.

Awesome

A brilliant, informative podcast by Michelle Obama. Listen to Renegades, featuring Bruce Springsteen and her husband, Barack Obama, it’s another good one!
I like how many topics Michelle covers, as well as how the podcasts can be both funny and deep at the same time.
Here’s hoping for more episodes!
