Barack and Michelle Obama will end the exclusive podcasting deal with Spotify

Barack and Michelle Obama are leaving Spotify amid reports of frustration over the terms of their multimillion-dollar deal to do exclusive podcasts with the broadcasting giant, according to Bloomberg.

The Obama family announced in 2019 that they would collaborate exclusively with Spotify to release podcasts through their media company Higher Ground, in a rumored deal worth $ 25 million.

However, Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Higher Ground will leave Spotify when the current deal expires in October, citing three unidentified sources familiar with the discussions, confirming that Higher Ground was talking to potential new partners and that Spotify had refused to make another offer.
