“#Obama, Bruce Springsteen team up for new podcast on Spotify<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Spotify listeners can now stream Barack and the Boss.<\/p>\n

Former President Obama and Bruce Springsteen have teamed up for a wide-ranging Spotify podcast, in which they discuss politics, race, family and manhood. <\/p>\n

Eight episodes of Renegades: Born in the USA<\/a> were recorded over several days at Springsteen\u2019s Jersey Shore farmhouse. The first two were released Monday for streaming on the site.<\/p>\n

The podcast was produced by Obama and wife Michelle\u2019s production company, Higher Ground. The couple brokered a podcast deal with Spotify in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe longtime friends discuss their hometowns and role models, explore modern manhood, and confront the painfully divided state of the country today\u2014and offer a vision of how we can all move forward together,\u201d Spotify said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the surface Bruce and I don\u2019t have a lot in common,\u201d the former President says in a voiceover introduction of the series<\/a>\u2019 first 56 minute episode. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a white guy from a small town in Jersey. I\u2019m a black guy of mixed race born in Hawaii with a childhood that took me around the world. He\u2019s a rock and roll icon. I\u2019m a lawyer and politician, not as cool,\u201d Obama continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, what we\u2019ve found is that we\u2019ve got a shared sensibility: about work, about family and about America.\u201d<\/p>\n

The episodes reveal that Obama first thought Springsteen was shy when they met on the campaign trail in 2008, but the musician opened up after the two imbibed together.<\/p>\n

Wide-ranging conversations between the unlikely duo dissect cultural and political divides and their unlikely similarities, including their shared sense of growing up as outsiders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s something that you choose. I think it\u2019s something that is innate within you,\u201d Springsteen said on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to find my way into my town [of Freehold.] I\u2019ve got to find out who my people are. And it wasn\u2019t until I discovered music and found a way to process\u2026 my own identity and to find a way to speak, and to have some impact, and how to be heard, that I began to feel at home where I lived,\u201d Springsteen reflected.<\/p>\n

Spotify gained 27 percent more followers last year compared to 2019 as it made a new push to feature popular podcasts.<\/p>\n

The Monday unveiling comes less than two weeks after the 71-year-old rocker was busted for DWI on the Jersey Shore. <\/p>\n

Springsteen\u2019s much-hyped Jeep Super Bowl commercial, that touted national unity, was taken off the air in the wake of his arrest.<\/p><\/div>\n
