Obama and Springsteen Launch a Podcast

Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen launched their new ”Renegades: Born in the USA" podcast.

The podcast, which is being dubbed the "highest-profile collaboration in the history of podcasting," launched with two episodes yesterday.The series will ultimately be eight episodes, which were taken from conversations at Springsteen's New Jersey home between July and December last year.

The two friends discuss topics ranging from fatherhood and marriage to race and politics.

In the first episode, the pair discuss the "unlikely friendship" that blossomed after they met on the campaign trail in 2008.
