The Former First Lady Shares Outfit Stories: Best Audio Shows of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment of the former first lady's IMO podcast accompanies the release of a hardcover volume exploring her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast offers depth together with its polish, uncovering important details about the challenges she encountered as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
The Pause
Test results. Public transport. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings associated with waiting. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Prevention Expert
This production from a renowned production house upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were linked to a single medical professional, and examines whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
Revelations
Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
This special production puts EU nations in competition on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to establish the best. The family support installment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
