The Former First Lady Shares Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Podcasts of the Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: Fashion Focus
This new spin-off of the former first lady's audio series coincides with the release of a hardcover volume exploring her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the series delivers substance together with its glamour, disclosing important details about the pressures she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.
Waiting Game
Medical reports. Public transport. Your big day. We're familiar with the mixed emotions associated with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Prevention Expert
This production by a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose kids were taken away after allegations of abuse were made by a single medical professional, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney 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 admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries positions member states against each other on real estate, parental support and substance regulations to determine the leading example. The childcare episode analyzes various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
