In the show's first episode, former President Obama asks: "
He continued, "This has been pretty much every conversation I've had over the last year: with Michelle, with my daughters, with friends—one of whom happens to be Bruce Springsteen. On the surface, Bruce and I don't have much in common. But over the years, we've come to realize we share a sensibility—about work, about family, about America. Though in different ways, Bruce and I have both sought to understand this country that has given us so much. We have sought to document the stories of its people, and to see how our search for meaning, truth, and community can connect to the larger American story.–––––––––––"
