Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is launching a podcast series with iHeartMedia.
The former president of the United States has already released the first episode of his new show, ‘Why Am I Telling You This?’, through iHeartMedia, which will see him in conversation with some of the experts across a wide range of topics that interest him.
The first episode sees Bill sits down with jazz musician Wynton Marsalis, who discusses his life and recent works, ‘The Ever Fonky Lowdown’ and ‘The Democracy! Suite’.
In a statement, Bill – who was known for playing the saxophone during his presidential campaign – said: “Growing up in Arkansas just after World War II in a family that didn’t have a lot of money, most of our entertainment revolved around storytelling.
Listening to my relatives and neighbours tell stories showed me that everyone has a story, and that everyone’s story has value.
“I always thought that the main point of my work was to give people a chance to have better stories. Once you’ve heard a person’s hopes and fears, where they’ve been and where they want to go, your differences slip away – you become people first.
Now more than ever, we need those kinds of connections.”
‘Why Am I Telling You This?’ will be an extension of the podcast of the same name that Bill launched through his Clinton Foundation with daughter Chelsea Clinton in 2019.
Guests on that version of the podcast included Ruth Bader Ginsburg, George W. Bush and José Andrés.
The new podcast is a co-production of iHeartRadio, the Clinton Foundation and At Will Media.
John Sykes, president of entertainment enterprises for iHeartMedia, said in his own statement: “We are excited and honored to partner with President Bill Clinton on his new podcast launch.
He has the rare gift of having both a deep intellect and an innate ability to relate to people from all walks of life.
He is a born storyteller and his curiosity about the people and ideas that make up our world is contagious.”
