Bill And Chelsea Clinton To Host New Podcast

Coming

Former President BILL CLINTON and daughter CHELSEA CLINTON will host a podcast premiering this SUMMER with a two-minute trailer available now.

"WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS?," produced by the CLINTON FOUNDATION and AT WILL MEDIA, will feature the CLINTONS, foundation staffers, and guests telling their stories and highlighting the foundation's work, as well as content from the foundation archives, including speeches and panels.  Scheduled guests include celebrity chef JOSÉ ANDRÉS and former U.S. Surgeon General VIVEK MURTHY.

“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 neighbors tell stories showed me that everyone has a story, and that everyone's story has value,” said President CLINTON. “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.”

“Launching a podcast is a natural extension of President CLINTON’s mastery of using storytelling to explain complex issues and his belief that once you know someone’s story, you better understand them as a person and your differences become less important,” said CLINTON FOUNDATION Chief Communications and Marketing Officer CRAIG MINASSIAN. “President CLINTON and CHELSEA CLINTON have always sought new ways to create a deeper understanding of how to make an impact which is particularly crucial and challenging in the current media environment.”
