The Former First Lady Reveals Outfit Stories: Best Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Fashion Focus
This latest series from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the launch of a hardcover volume documenting her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the show offers depth in addition to its style, revealing important details about the challenges she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
On Hold
Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the complex sentiments linked to waiting. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This production from a renowned production house maintains their reputation of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were made by a single medical professional, and examines whether a preventive measure was the right one.
Disclosure
Freedom of information requests aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The information they've obtained by using them in the US include persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries places European countries head to head on housing, childcare and substance regulations to determine the leading example. The family support installment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
