The Former First Lady Unveils Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Podcasts This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment of the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the release of a coffee-table book chronicling her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the podcast offers depth alongside its style, disclosing significant insights about the challenges she faced as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the mixed emotions linked to waiting. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This series by an established audio team maintains their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose kids were removed from their care after reports of harm were made by one physician, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This special production places European countries against each other on real estate, early education and narcotics laws to establish the top performer. The family support installment examines various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
