I loved M.O’s book “Becoming” and tuned in because I thought that there would be more intelligent insight, wisdom and maybe some mentorship. What I found was a podcast where they barely let their guests talk, Michelle talks over literally anyone and finishes their sentences for them and all they do is talk to each other ABOUT EACH OTHER. I mean, Jay Shetty barely got a word in and that was disappointing because I really looked forward to hearing from him on the topic and he was such a good host when he had them on HIS podcast. Taraji’s episode was so good but again they kept talking over her. The ads are also way too long and frequent and kind of annoying. Especially when they don’t even announce/incorporate it gracefully. I had to make sure I was still on the same episode MULTIPLE times. I don’t think I’ll keep listening.

This is an amazing podcasts. Don’t let these trolls convince you otherwise. This amazing woman lives in their minds daily and she’s not thinking about them. I love that and she how show. Hey Craig!

Big Mike theory confirmed

Pathetic and a scourge on society. Perpetual victim. Got into Princeton because of her color but we’re racist.

I really enjoy this podcast it makes me feel relaxed when I’m driving home. I feel like I’m sitting with my aunt and uncle just talking and learning from them. Keep it going!

I enjoyed this conversation so much! Damon and Marlon were funny, entertaining guests and I felt Craig and Michelle did a good job of asking great questions but also allowing their guests to talk without interruption. I’ll be back for more episodes!

I love listening to the banter between Michelle and Craig and their guests. I love the insight into Black families. Well worth listening to, especially if you didn’t have a great familial foundation. They don’t shy away from controversial topics and their guests always bring something extra to the table. As a parent I’m listening to learn and to heal neglected parts of my childhood past.

I love Michelle. She is a incredible human, intelligent, well spoken, relatable. Excellent conversation she has with her brother Craig and guests. Love the siblings bantering. If you are not a fan of the Obama’s don’t bother. Because nothing will change your mind. Move along with your hate.

I appreciate the honesty of the hosts! This podcast is engaging! Looking forward to more episodes

I love hearing Michelle and Craig’s banter.

I thoroughly enjoy IMO with Michelle & Craig. I feel like I have a seat at their table and learn so much from them and each guest. Wisdom abounds. Listening is a joyful experience each week! Thank you!!

I love the transparency and honesty that both of them give on their podcast. All of their guests have been awesome and the way they speak and interview makes me feel like I’m sitting right at the table with them and I find myself high fiving and talking to the TV.😂

Love this podcast and LOVE the parenting tips!

Real talk with the real people that are not afraid to speak up and be authentic

Who doesn’t love to listen to a billionaire whine and complain about life. Who knew you have always been sooo miserable. Keep up the complaining Queen. I noticed the ratings have plummeted. Maybe try being a positive woman and loving life. 👌

I have been through all this! Probably the hardest 8 years of my life, an excellent episode. Second review: this podcast just makes me happy. I need to have something to take all the stress from the current regime and remind me of a saner, smarter and enjoyable era. Btw: “We are over it” I think maybe you are the bitter one. Take off red hat and pay attention.

I love Michelle Obama and am so glad she’s discussing great topics with her brother and great guests!

This podcast possesses the trifecta; heart, humor, and intellect, and it does it so seamlessly well.

What a Debbie downer. How does anyone stand being around her? She is never positive. Everything is always negative

Given her charmed and privileged life, it’s unfortunate she seems so incredibly ungrateful and negative. She seems to be unable to say one positive word about this country and her husband. Does she even like him??

I didn’t come to give five stars but reading these reviews. Wow. Y’all need help/a life. Michelle is a true American hero. This podcast is alright. Sometimes Craig isn’t the greatest listener but Michelle is great. On and off the pod.

What a horrible human being one must be to listen to this bitter racist garbage podcast if it should even be categorized as a podcast and not the pitiful race baiting garbage that should be mocked for it’s idiocy.

She says it keeps her up at night these (deportations), but her husband had twice as many in his two terms as Trump at this time in his administration. She’s nothing but a racist hypocrite. She sure does benefit from a country that she and her husband tore apart, and tried to destroy.

We love you Michelle and your IMO podcast with Craig!! Love the shows so far.. keep going up!!

I’ll admit I went into my first episode with lower expectations because of some mixed reviews I had read. I must admit (not to my own surprise ;) that all of that dissipated less than 5 minutes into the episode with Taraji P. Hensen. I now realize that a lot of the negative noise is coming from a certain political party or perhaps those who have become disillusioned and displeased by Michelle (or Barack’s) Obama’s recent decisions. I enjoy Michelle’s perspective and advice, and I admire her character arc in recent years. Her and Craig have a good banter and relationship. I appreciate his thoughtful and respectful questions to the guests. Don’t tell Barack, but I actually enjoyed Michelle’s book better, so anything that I can consume of Michelle’s, the better 😊 All in all, a really good podcast to add to your weekly playlist.

I really appreciate the heartfelt discussion between a brother and sister and their in-depth interviews. I learned so much about my own relationships by analogy. I’m also gaining insight into the challenges and sacrifices of public service. Thanks for your collective honesty and openness.

This podcast is so refreshing! First off the topics and guests are both captivating and having both a female and male provide interesting insight. Looking forward to listening to future episodes.

Michelle, you’re great, just try to refrain from saying “you know” soooo often. ;)

This podcast is horrible and Michelle Obama is so out of touch how is she a victim.This woman is a billionaire and always so negative. The only thing I got out of this is a little respect for Barrack because how does he put up with this miserable woman.

Michelle Obama .. She’s bitter , angry , depressed and dark ! Always trying to play the victim, and she is one of the most privileged women in the world! Still trying to pull the race card when her black husband was elected twice by American citizens! Still trying to play the victim! Makes me sick. I don’t know how anyone can listen to this. They have several mansions and are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and she is still crying poor me? Over it!!! Literally every single president and First Lady have been dragged through the media regardless of skin color. Stop trying to act like it was only you, Michelle! It disgusts me. So addicted to being the victim, and she is the least convincing victim! Talk about tone death! This lady should be ashamed of herself! Talk about miserable. What kind of misery does she live in? Seriously! Get over yourself!!!

Excellent show and great guests.

Goodness she’s the worst

I just listened to “Learn To Say No” featuring Taraji P. Hensen. What a great conversation that was very insightful, thoughtful, fun, and real. Thank you Forever First Lady and Taraji for being transparent. As a Black Female CEO, I am learning how to say no, practicing radical self care, and reminding myself that I do enough and I am enough. Period end stop!

Not interesting.

I haven’t heard Michelle Obama speak at length before. I’ve been missing out! I love this podcast. Binged through all the episodes in two days and can’t wait for new ones.

A lot of talk about how we should feel bad for her? Uhhh… what

This podcast is so inspirational ,motivational! Love, love! Also for anyone who hasn’t watched later daters 10/10!

Now Michelle is whining about being more “burdened” than her white female friends… ???? If you just listen - & didn’t know who she was, you would assume she was a single mom working minimum wage who is unable to make ends meet to feed her children due to the victim mentality with which she approaches her poor, very wealthy burdens. I’d like to know when is the last time Michelle had a job? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Anyone? I’d like to know which of her white female friends wrote a book that she didn’t write but had an entire TEAM of ghostwriters pen it FOR her? Which of her lucky unburdened white female friends along with their husbands made over $65 million in one year (2017) just for advances on 2 books that they didn’t even write ? Or is as powerful & wealthy & celebrated & famous as Michelle? If you have to listen to this podcast just to stay on top of conversations with your friends, you might need new friends.

Wow, this has to be the worse podcast ever! Poor Michelle always complaining about something! Imagine us black women working overtime just to get food on the table while you who has none of these problems complain and complain all of the time! Realize Michelle that we wouldn’t even know who you are if it wasn’t for your husband becoming president! So just stop it, no one can relate to your stupidity and your fake yesssss…and ooohs and ahhhs…please get this podcast of the air it’s a waste of time!

I had high hopes for this podcast since I liked her books. However, I don’t see anything positive or happy with her podcast. I have tried several episodes in hope that it was just that episode but I find all of them negative.

I used to admire Michelle Obama but it’s clear she was putting on an act and now she is finally revealing who she really is. Go away.

If there was the option of giving a negative rating I would have. The only thing worse listening to more than this is THE VIEW. I can not believe this was once our First Lady. Hates white people, America, all conservatives. Complains about everything. She’s a multimillionaire with 3 houses, healthy children etc.

What a waste of time

Michelle, you’re truly an ungrateful and thoughtless human being. You’re one of the luckiest people on the planet, but it’s still not good enough. Sad.

Michelle, Craig, and their guests dive into some very thought provoking topics. Would definitely recommend.

Love this pod! It started off slow but the more I listen I love everything! Michelle and her brother are a fresh breathe of air and this pod is for GROWN UPS! Great topics, great guest and interesting conversations.

You’re had such a charmed life…appreciate it

It’s a joy to get to know Michelle Obama on a more personal level, and to meet her brother. I have always admired her, and I’m fascinated to hear the way they interact with each other and with their guests. Looking forward to more from them. Thanks

What a wonderful podcast. Listening to my fellow Chicagoans I’m so proud. It’s a good show. Mrs. Robinson would approve.

Love this woman and Craig too. She’s so real and grounded. I love her warmth and charisma. My new fav podcast!!
