The Former First Lady Shares Outfit Stories: Must-Listen Podcasts This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This latest series of Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the publication of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the podcast provides meaning in addition to its polish, revealing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments that come with waiting. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This series from a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews parents whose children were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were linked to a single medical professional, and probes whether a preventive measure was justified.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The information they've obtained by using them in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
EU Nations: Best Practices
This limited series places European countries in competition on real estate, childcare and substance regulations to identify the leading example. The family support installment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
