Said Barack Obama, quoted in "Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen Join Many Men Before Them, Launch a Podcast" (NY Magazine).
... journeys... stories... a way to connect our own individual searches for meaning and truth and community with the larger story of America...
I don't know. That must appeal to some people but it sounds perfectly silly to me.
I love the photograph, which I'll copy because it's Spotify's picture (by Rob DeMartin) and they seem to be trying to promote the podcast, so I'm only helping them:
The 2 men and their environment are so ideal... and yet... where are the masks? Did they really do the podcast there on abutting sides of that delicate table? Does Bruce really use wheelie chairs on those loose, blanket-like rugs? That's not going to work. Did they just happen to cross their arms and legs in the same way? More importantly, do this guys have a good podcast-y way to talk back and forth?
ADDED: I am actually going to attempt to listen to this. I'll let you know how it turns out.
UPDATE: My effort ended 14 minutes and 27 seconds in. I found it of no interest whatsoever.
