The former president will join his wife on the first episode of The Michelle Obama Podcast which will be exclusively streamed on Spotify. The show will be available starting July 29, reported by Variety.

In the debut, they will have what is described as "an intimate conversation about community, the love that powers our relationships, and their life after the White House."

"The Michelle Obama Podcast" will be a series of interviews pairing America's first black first lady with one guest per episode.

Michelle Obama's new podcast expects to hold some honest and personal conversations focusing on significant topics, ranging from women's health, marriage and even the benefits of mentorship.
