The Former First Lady Shares Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Audio Shows This Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: The Look
This latest series of the former first lady's IMO podcast accompanies the release of a visual tome documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast offers depth together with its style, uncovering significant insights about the expectations she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. The bus. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with anticipation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This podcast from a major media investigative unit continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose children were taken away after claims of mistreatment were made by a single medical professional, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries positions member states head to head on housing, early education and drug policy to determine the leading example. The childcare episode examines different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where renowned Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if the family expands. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
