The Former First Lady Reveals Style Insights: Must-Listen Audio Shows This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Fashion Focus
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a hardcover volume chronicling her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the series offers depth alongside its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the expectations she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings associated with expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.
The Interventionist
This series by a major media investigative unit maintains their tradition of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose children were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were made by one physician, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
Revelations
Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This limited series positions member states in competition on real estate, early education and substance regulations to identify the best. The parenting segment analyzes various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
