Barack Obama & Bruce Springsteen Are Getting Super Personal With A New Book This Fall

Friends who write books together stay together.

Senior Writer

They're taking the bromance to another level! A new book by Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen is coming out this fall and it's full of deep talks, personal photos and more.

An expansion of the duo's podcast, Renegades: Born in the USA features Obama and Springsteen talking about pretty much everything, including career-defining moments, American politics, marriage, fatherhood, race and masculinity. They also discuss their favourite protest songs and American heroes.

The pair first met in 2008 and have come together many times since then. On their podcast, Obama said that it doesn't seem like they have much in common but they discovered throughout the years that they are similar and have been on "parallel journeys."

The new book features over 350 photographs, introductions by Obama and Springsteen, exclusive new material from the podcast recording sessions, never-before-seen annotated Obama speeches, handwritten Springsteen song lyrics and more.

Renegades: Born in the USA is being released on October 26 and will cost $50 in the U.S. and $65 in Canada.
