“We're not saying we have all the answers,” Robinson admitted. “But, we do have plenty of opinions,” Obama added.
Obama and Robinson also invited listeners to submit their own questions for discussion on future episodes. The project is produced by Higher Ground Media, the production company founded by Michelle and Barack Obama.
The New York Times, which received an advance look at the first two episodes, reported, “The hosts mainly offered advice based on their life experiences, and refrained from addressing current events or politics.”
