Renegades: Born in the USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2021 podcast series hosted by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen

Podcast

Renegades: Born in the USA is a 2021 podcast series hosted by former U.S. president Barack Obama and singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen.

President Barack Obama (back) awards Bruce Springsteen (front) the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November 2016.

Springsteen and Obama became friends on the campaign trail for Obama's 2008 United States presidential election campaign.[1] Dan Fierman, the head of Higher Ground Audio, said that Michelle Obama's experience producing The Michelle Obama Podcast influenced Barack's decision to launch one himself.[2] In 2019, the Obamas' production company, Higher Ground Productions, signed an exclusive podcast deal with Spotify.[3] Comcast and Dollar Shave Club sponsored the series.[4]

The first recording session took place on July 30, 2020.[2] The podcast was recorded at Springsteen's home in Colts Neck Township, New Jersey.[5]

James Marriot of The Times rated the series four out of five stars.[6][why?] Slate's Jody Rosen criticized the series, writing that the series "promises difficult conversations about race, but it avoids the actual difficulties."[5] Jon Garelick, writing on NBC News, criticized Obama and Springsteen for partnering with Spotify.[7] David Klion described the podcast as "bland" and "boring" in his review for The New Republic.[8]

In October 2021, a book was published based on the podcast.[9]
