    I was wondering!
    Thank goodness I finally heard your voice. I’m looking to the strong women with the voices that reach so many of us particularly in times of despair…and there you are. Iheard the interview with Dr. Laurie Santos and am inspired. Thank you. I will go forward with the message that we have power.

    Gross!
    The title says it all. Don’t waste your time on a garbage podcast. You deserve better than this, from someone who doesn’t hate America.

    Conversation with Family
    I absolutely love this podcast. It feels like a conversation with family. I’ve never been one for small talk even when people are strangers. This dives into the heart of life, in a way that makes no one feel like a stranger and honors our collective experience. The brother / sister dynamic is so relatable yet, the depth of the connection you two have is also inspirational. Please keep it coming!

    Well shoot.
    I had high hopes for this podcast as I am a big fan of Michelle. However this is a very boring pod. I’ve listened to a few episodes and I’m sorry but it’s just not interesting. More behind the scenes stories from your time in the White House would be great!

  • Monica Loves It
    Wholesome, wise, witty humans I enjoy listening to!
    I enjoy the question and answer format of the podcast. The guests bring their own unique wisdom to the table. I laughed throughout the Issa Rae podcast! So funny. I enjoyed the episode about career paths - so insightful. Love the sibling dynamic between Michelle & Craig. Wholesome, wise, witty humans I enjoy listening to! Keep the episodes coming please!

    Thank you!
    I truly appreciate hearing from siblings, in particular of opposite genders. I have a twin sister and we’re part of a family of all sisters, and I love to hear from you both.

    Pretty please!
    Please get some current WNBA players as guests! We need women with platforms to be platforming women.

    Worst
    Worst ever don’t waist your time. So full of negativity of racism she is so homophobic she’s against interracial marriages. She’s for drug use and sexualizing minors.

    Continually Inspiring
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts about so many things. It’s salve to many who may be struggling and looking introspectively (in these specific times and always).
  • PumpedGuns
    Love Michelle and Craig
    This podcast is full of optimism and hope. Great guests. The four star rating is due to the Ads. But it’s really hard to listen to them go on so long with the ads. They seem longer than other podcasts. The Ads are really disruptive.

    Giggle fest with Issa Rae
    I genuinely couldn’t stop giggling along with Issa, Michelle, and Craig when they were talking about the differences between male and female friendships. Exactly what I want from a podcast. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the episodes.
  • Millennial25
    Feel Good Show but Out of Touch
    I admire the former First Lady as much as the next person. She’s funny, personable, and deeply empathetic. That said, I find some of her world view and advice out of touch. She and her brother are an older generation who may have struggled and wondered if they were “doing it right,” but they didn’t face the existential economic and political concerns younger generations do. Her advice to a listener named Adrian worried he couldn’t have a family and pursue his dream job highlights that she still believes the old American dream is possible with hard work and a positive attitude. It isn’t, and it’s at best naive and at worst self-promoting to say that it is. She perpetuates a narrative that self-agency makes everything possible as every social safety net is being destroyed and she has already made it.

    Ya know
    You know, you know, you know you know talk about pretentious. We don’t know that’s why we listen to podcast.

    Desperate times
    Love both Michelle and Craig but your podcasts seem to be mostly fluff. Our democracy is failing we need your involvement. We need your serious side.
  • Pefimoso
    Shockingly awful
    No one likes these two guys. If Michael.. Aka Moochelle.. wanted to be authentic, he should just admit that he's a man pretending to be a woman. We all know since Joan Rivers paid the ultimate price for exposing it wide open.

  • Kellkell0
    Love them
    A great show so far. Michelle and Craig have such a beautiful relationship. I love hearing about their family growing up. Their parents did well raising them. I also appreciate the topics they have chosen. Very useful to adults of all ages. I can’t wait for more.
  • BailsParker
    Refreshing
    It’s so refreshing listening to the two of you. I’m such a huge fan of MO, and have come to love CR since reading Becoming, and now listening to your pod. If you ever wanted to truly make someone’s dreams come true, it would be my greatest honor and pleasure to be able to share a meal & conversation together. I might just pass away right there if that were to happen 😆 Find Bailey Parker in Boone County Arkansas if it’s possible?! ❤️

    Love this podcast! Intellectual and intelligent…purposed for a thinking audience!
  • The Rafeldt’s
    It’s amazing, of course!
    I can’t believe I have been sleeping on this podcast. Long form conversations with Michelle Obama, are you kidding me? I love that it’s with her brother and love their guests. This is a gift. And definitely joining my regular rotation of weekly podcasts I enjoy. Ignore the conservative troll reviews, so annoying. Also, anyone who finds it “boring” is probably not a podcast person. The whole point of podcasts is that they are long form conversations about specific topics. Many people find them interesting and relaxing.
