The Former First Lady Unveils Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the release of a coffee-table book documenting her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the series provides meaning together with its style, uncovering significant insights about the expectations she faced as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with anticipation. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This podcast by an established audio team continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were attributed to one physician, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US include persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries places European countries head to head on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The parenting segment examines multiple topics such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the situation where renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
