The Former First Lady Unveils Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This new spin-off from the former first lady's IMO podcast accompanies the release of a visual tome chronicling her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the show offers depth together with its style, disclosing important details about the pressures she encountered as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
Waiting Game
Medical reports. Your ride. Your wedding day. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This podcast by an established audio team continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews families whose minors were taken away after claims of mistreatment were made by the same doctor, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.
Revelations
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries places European countries head to head on housing, parental support and narcotics laws to identify the top performer. The family support installment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
