Obama to Launch New Podcast Ahead of Midterms

The new podcast effectively expands that tradition by giving Obama an opportunity to spend an entire episode discussing individual works instead of simply recommending them to his followers.

The former president’s selections also span decades and genres, ranging from Baldwin’s examination of race in America and Warren’s political novel to McCarthy’s Western fiction and le Carré’s Cold War espionage story, The New York Post reported.

With the six-episode series scheduled to begin next month, the remaining major detail is Obama’s guest list, which has yet to be revealed.
