The Former First Lady Reveals Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the publication of a coffee-table book chronicling her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the show provides meaning together with its polish, uncovering important details about the pressures she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments linked to expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This production from an established audio team continues their legacy of thorough examinations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary meets families whose children were taken away after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This special production puts EU nations in competition on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to establish the leading example. The childcare episode explores different concerns such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the reality that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
