The Former First Lady Shares Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: Fashion Focus
This latest series from the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the show offers depth alongside its glamour, uncovering significant insights about the expectations she faced as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.
Waiting Game
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments associated with waiting. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This podcast from a major media investigative unit upholds their tradition of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary meets families whose children were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.
Revelations
Public records inquiries may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This limited series positions member states against each other on real estate, parental support and drug policy to identify the best. The family support installment examines multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
