Michelle Obama Unveils Style Insights: Best Audio Shows of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning together with its style, disclosing important details about the pressures she faced as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
Waiting Game
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your wedding day. We all experience the mixed emotions that come with expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This production from a renowned production house upholds their reputation of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose kids were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were linked to the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
EU Nations: Best Practices
This limited series puts EU nations head to head on real estate, childcare and substance regulations to identify the best. The parenting segment analyzes multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
