<p>The former First Lady Michelle Obama shared a sneak peek into her first episode of the Spotify podcast titled ‘The Michelle Obama Podcast’ with husband Barack Obama as the first featured guest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sharing it on Instagram, Michelle wrote, “You’ll also hear from many of my girlfriends, the women who’ve always been there with a shoulder to lean on, a perspective to think about, or simply an open line to vent to. In this time of social distancing, it’s more important than ever to invest in the relationships that make us who we are.”</p>

<p>In the first episode of the podcast, the Obamas will be talking about how their neighbours helped raise them growing up and how this helped them understand the importance of contributing to their wider communities.</p>

<p>“That was a really common theme,” former President Obama said in an exclusive clip from the episode. “Ms. Smith down the street, she’d see me messing up. She’d scold me … Then when I got home, I might get whooped because Ms. Smith would have called my mom.”</p>
