The Former First Lady Unveils Fashion Secrets: Best Audio Shows of the Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: Fashion Focus
This new spin-off of the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a coffee-table book chronicling her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the show provides meaning in addition to its glamour, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she encountered as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions associated with waiting. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.
The Prevention Expert
This production from a renowned production house upholds their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose children were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to the same doctor, and examines whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
Disclosure
Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries places European countries in competition on housing, parental support and substance regulations to establish the best. The parenting segment explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
