Michelle Obama Shares Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Fashion Focus
This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the release of a hardcover volume chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the podcast delivers substance in addition to its polish, revealing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she encountered as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.
On Hold
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with expectation. 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 hears incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This podcast from a renowned production house continues their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary interviews families whose kids were taken away after allegations of abuse were linked to the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This special production places European countries in competition on housing, early education and substance regulations to identify the top performer. The family support installment explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
