Bill and Chelsea Clinton to Launch Podcast

Former President Bill Clinton and daughter, Chelsea, will launch a podcast this summer, The Hill is reporting.

The podcast will be called “Why Am I Telling You This,” and will be available on Apple’s iTunes platform.

"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," the former president said. "Listening to my relatives and neighbors tell stories showed me that everyone has a story and that everyone's story has value."

"When I got into politics, I always thought that the main point of my work was to give people a chance to have better stories. And after I left office, that's the same purpose that led me to start the Clinton Foundation," 

The podcast will feature two Clintons talking about “people, issues and events that shape our work and our world,” Chelsea Clinton said. Early interviews will include celebrity chef José Andrés and former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, The Hill said.

CNN noted the podcast also is designed to allow listeners to better engage with Clinton Foundation projects.
