Michelle Obama Unveils Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the publication of a coffee-table book chronicling her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the show provides meaning alongside its style, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.
On Hold
Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the mixed emotions linked to waiting. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This series by a renowned production house upholds their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were removed from their care after reports of harm were made by a single medical professional, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered 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.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries puts EU nations head to head on real estate, early education and substance regulations to determine the top performer. The family support installment explores multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
