Former First Lady Michelle Obama was mercilessly ridiculed on social media after the first few episodes of her new podcast, “IMO (In My Opinion),” debuted to poor numbers when compared to other political shows on YouTube.
To begin their new media endeavor, Obama and her brother Craig Robinson launched their video podcast on Monday, March 10, and uploaded their first two episodes on Wednesday.
But on their first day on the platform, the two episodes received 15,000 and 47,000 views, respectively. On the other hand, Joe Rogan’s show receives between 500,000 and 56 million viewers and listeners each episode, while California Governor Gavin Newsom’s new podcast received over 743,000 views on YouTube in its debut episode.
