Michelle Obama Reveals Fashion Secrets: Top Podcasts of the Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the show offers depth together with its glamour, uncovering significant insights about the expectations she encountered as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
Waiting Game
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments associated with anticipation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This series by an established audio team maintains their reputation of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose children were removed from their care after reports of harm were attributed to one physician, and examines whether a preventive measure was the right one.
Disclosure
Government document petitions may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This limited series positions member states against each other on housing, childcare and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The childcare episode explores multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
