Michelle Obama Unveils Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts This Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: Style Stories
This new spin-off from the former first lady's audio series coincides with the release of a coffee-table book exploring her wardrobe transformation. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the series offers depth together with its style, revealing important details about the expectations she faced as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.
Waiting Game
Test results. Your ride. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings linked to anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This podcast from a renowned production house continues their tradition of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose children were taken away after reports of harm were made by one physician, and probes whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
Disclosure
Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries positions member states in competition on housing, childcare and narcotics laws to identify the best. The family support installment explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that renowned Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
