Michelle Obama Shares Style Insights: Must-Listen Podcasts This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the release of a hardcover volume chronicling her wardrobe transformation. Everything is meticulously crafted (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast provides meaning alongside its style, revealing significant insights about the expectations she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
The Pause
Test results. The bus. Your big day. We're familiar with the mixed emotions linked to expectation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This series by a renowned production house upholds their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary meets parents whose minors were removed from their care after reports of harm were made by the same doctor, and questions whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into 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 president doesn't mean what he tweets.
European Comparison: Top Performers
A new miniseries puts EU nations head to head on real estate, childcare and substance regulations to determine the best. The parenting segment explores various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
