Michelle Obama's podcast is plenty of fun to listen to. It's also political communication at the highest level. nwquah writes
That’s a question that tends to roll around certain liberal circles with some persistence, and I suppose the sentiment is perfectly understandable. After all, the former First Lady remains one of the most popular public figures in the world. It could happen.
Which brings us to The Michelle Obama Podcast. Following shortly in the wake of Obama’s Netflix documentary Becoming, itself a kind of adaptation of her best-selling memoir, the podcast echoes those previous efforts in form and function. These projects collectively serve as a platform for Obama to channel her beliefs, worldview, and experiences on her own terms.
More crucially, they are effortlessly fluid in balancing the personal and the political, in the way that the very best orators and interlocutors are. Put simply, this is political communication at the highest level, to a point where it would be entirely inappropriate to compare this production with other podcasts from political figures, which tend to be poorly made and flagrantly utilitarian.
Part of a public leader’s role involves building a shared narrative for the masses to viscerally participate in. Those woven narratives help us make sense of what we’re experiencing, locating it in relation to the world and each other. That’s the work being done in this show, and Obama’s approach to the role is grounded in the idea that she isn’t apart from the masses but that she is a part of the masses, stuck down here in the dirt with the rest of us.
