The Former First Lady Reveals Outfit Stories: Must-Listen Audio Shows This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Fashion Focus
This latest series from the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the launch of a hardcover volume chronicling her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. In the style of Michelle personally, the podcast delivers substance in addition to its polish, uncovering important details about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.
Waiting Game
Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the complex sentiments associated with anticipation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This series from a major media investigative unit continues their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary meets families whose minors were placed in foster care after reports of harm were linked to one physician, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries places European countries against each other on accommodation, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the leading example. The childcare episode explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
