Michelle Obama Reveals Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week
Pick of the Week
IMO: Fashion Focus
This new spin-off from the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the release of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the podcast provides meaning in addition to its polish, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the expectations she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.
On Hold
Test results. The bus. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Interventionist
This podcast by a renowned production house maintains their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were placed in foster care after reports of harm were attributed to one physician, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This special production places European countries head to head on real estate, early education and narcotics laws to identify the best. The parenting segment examines various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
