I saw this coming. I think everyone saw this coming except the two Democrats involved. Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s podcast which she cohosts with her older brother Craig Robinson is cratering fast. IMO is a dud that’s practically dead on arrival.
Start here. (READ)
REPORT: Former First Lady Michelle Obama's new podcast continues to tank with viewership down over 75% compared to her first episode on YouTube.

Michelle Obama's show is not doing much better on Apple or Spotify. She is ranked 34th on Spotify’s podcast chart and 19th on Apple Podcasts, as reported by Mediaite.
Here’s the video from back before they launched and were all smiles. (WATCH)

Turns out she’s not a popular First Lady as Democrats claim her to be.

Melania would easily garner 10x than Michelle’s viewership.
Melania Trump at least has her years in the fashion industry to fall back on. Many would tune in to hear her discuss makeup tips, branding, and clothing with some political and family stuff thrown in.
Michelle doesn’t have any real appeal. She’s mostly a media creation. Commenters say what little she does offer doesn’t appeal to those outside her elite circle.

She’s irrelevant to middle class Americans who don’t relate to rich elite politicians!

She is irrelevant, and nobody cares what she has to say.

Those numbers are going to continue to tank to 0.
Michelle is a nobody.

Her riches come from corruption and fraud.
Her hubby as well.
You’re absolutely right Hunter she has nothing relatable to anyone other than elites. She might would consider touching grass from time to time.

These elites really could not be more out of touch with everyday people.

I find her boring and self-centered. I’m not the only one.
Commenters point out that average X users get more hits than Obama’s podcast.
I've got schlock videos I did for fun outperforming her 😂

Who is this for?

Correct, who is this for? That’s what one should always ask before starting a podcast. It looks like they assumed people would tune in simply based on name recognition. Wrong! In the end, this a vanity project. It’ll probably continue longer than it has any right to simply because of Obama’s wealth and hubris. Must be nice.
