Rock legend Bruce Springsteen and former president Barack Obama are hitting the digital airwaves with their new podcast Renegades: Born in the USA.
As Obama notes in the first episode, “In our own ways, Bruce and I have been on parallel journeys. We still share a fundamental belief in the American ideal. Not as an airbrushed, cheap fiction or an act of nostalgia that ignores all the ways that we’ve fallen short of that ideal. But as a compass for the hard work that lies before each of us as citizens.”
The show is set to run for eight episodes and it will showcase “a deep and revealing conversation between the two friends, exploring a wide array of topics including race, fatherhood, marriage, and the state of America.”
Listen to Renegades via Spotify here.

February 25, 2021 at 8:33 pmMaybe they’ll discuss why killing more brown people in Syria is so cool? Or why the $2K check promised is now only $1400? Or why Bruce spends 5 milly on Arabian horses, like most middle class Americans do?

February 23, 2021 at 9:34 pmPerhaps if you did something more with your life than watching men shave each others pubes you wouldn’t be so butt hurt about people who worked hard and made something of themselves. While Trump was a pampered child and basically had everything given to him, I’m pretty sure the rest busted their asses to get where they are. Though, I agree, the podcast does seem a bit pretentious… and Biden has already done more for this country in 60 days than Trump did in 4 years. Don’t recall anyone saying he was a savior other than haters. He is just more of a man and President than Trump could ever dream of being. Excuse me if I’m wrong here but I don’t think Biden can defund police, isn’t that at the state level?

February 23, 2021 at 5:12 pmI’d like this podcast if it was the two of them shaving each other’s pubic hair weekly. Otherwise it’s just two cul-de-sac liberals who are going to smugly congratulate each other on how fantastic they are.
This will be a rich people pat each other on the back for not doing shit, just like all the the vocal “resistance” liberals who are now shockingly quiet that Biden still has kids in cages, still won’t raise the minimum wage and still won’t consider defunding the police. Fuck Bruce, Obama, Biden, Trump and any other rich fuck.
And fuck podcasts, too. They suck.
