A Great Book with Barack Obama
Buy Now for £13.23
Some books don't just tell a story — they change the way you see the world. In A Great Book with Barack Obama, a new Audible Original podcast from Audible and Higher Ground, President Obama is joined by some of the most compelling thinkers, writers, and artists of our time to revisit six timeless books that shaped his life and perspective on the world.
With his signature intellectual curiosity, President Obama reflects on identity, power, memory, and culture using the stories that impacted him most. Over the course of six episodes, President Obama sits down with guests Tom Hanks, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jill Lepore, Ben Rhodes, Percival L. Everett, and Lauren Groff. Together they explore a central question: what do the stories we love tell us about the world we live in and the world we want to create?
The books featured in this season are: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin, All The King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carré, Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, and All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy.
