Barack and Springsteen first met in 2008 during Barack’s first presidential campaign when Springsteen performed during one rally leading to a longtime friendship. It might seem the two American icons don’t have many things in common but they share the same pride in being American.
The new podcast will share the parallel journeys of Obama and Springsteen while understanding all the given opportunities living in America. This podcast will also serve as a chronicle of the stories of people born in the U.S.A. connecting a community with a larger story of America.
The first two episodes of #RenegadesPodcast with President @BarackObama and @Springsteen are out now on @Spotify 🎙 https://t.co/QSaNnWtAfA pic.twitter.com/h9lUyjDcd4
