Michelle Obama Shares Outfit Stories: Best Podcasts This Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the release of a coffee-table book exploring her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the show delivers substance in addition to its glamour, revealing important details about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.
On Hold
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the complex sentiments associated with anticipation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This production by an established audio team upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were taken away after claims of mistreatment were made by the same doctor, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries places European countries against each other on accommodation, early education and drug policy to determine the top performer. The family support installment examines multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
