The Former First Lady Unveils Style Insights: Top Podcasts This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This latest series from Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the release of a visual tome exploring her style journey. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the series delivers substance together with its polish, revealing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
Waiting Game
Test results. The bus. Your big day. We all experience the complex sentiments that come with anticipation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Interventionist
This series by a renowned production house upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by a single medical professional, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
Revelations
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries puts EU nations head to head on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to identify the leading example. The childcare episode analyzes different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
