Michelle Obama Shares Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Audio Shows This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This latest series from the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the release of a visual tome exploring her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the show offers depth alongside its polish, disclosing important details about the pressures she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.
Waiting Game
Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments associated with anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of navigating such uncertainty.
The Prevention Expert
This series from an established audio team upholds their tradition of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were made by a single medical professional, and questions whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries positions member states in competition on accommodation, parental support and drug policy to determine the best. The family support installment examines multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
