Michelle Obama Shares Outfit Stories: Must-Listen Audio Shows This Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: Fashion Focus
This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the release of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the series provides meaning alongside its polish, revealing significant insights about the pressures she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.
Waiting Game
Medical reports. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the mixed emotions linked to expectation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Interventionist
This series from an established audio team maintains their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were attributed to a single medical professional, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.
Disclosure
Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into 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 leader's social media posts aren't factual.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This limited series places European countries against each other on housing, parental support and drug policy to determine the top performer. The parenting segment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
