Get Barack Obama on Passing The Torch with Martin Foster!

Martin Foster interviews leaders, athletes, veterans and entrepreneurs about purpose, setbacks, reinvention and lessons worth passing on.
Barack Obama is the clearest living embodiment of this show's premise: his 2004 Democratic convention keynote and two-term presidency were framed as a generational handoff, and his post-presidential work through the Obama Foundation and his memoir "A Promised Land" keeps that theme in motion. A conversation with him gives "Passing The Torch" a first-person account of how political legacy is actually transferred rather than merely theorized. His reach as an orator and organizer also brings the podcast's central question to its largest possible audience.
