American icons team up for Spotify podcast series
Former President Barack Obama and American music star Bruce Springsteen partner with Spotify for the “Renegades: Born in the USA” podcast. The two American icons will explore aspects of their lives discussing marriage, race, fatherhood, and the future of America.
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.
This podcast is the second series of the 2019 Spotify deal with the Obama family production company, Higher Ground, following “The Michelle Obama Podcast” featuring the former first lady that launched last July. The “Renegades: Born in the USA” podcast will feature eight episodes and two are currently available on Spotify.
