Michelle Obama Unveils Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Fashion Focus
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the publication of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the series offers depth in addition to its glamour, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the pressures she faced as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. The bus. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings linked to anticipation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This podcast by a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose children were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by a single medical professional, and probes whether a preventive measure was the right one.
Revelations
Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This limited series positions member states head to head on housing, parental support and substance regulations to determine the best. The parenting segment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
