The Former First Lady Unveils Fashion Secrets: Best Podcasts of the Week

This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the launch of a hardcover volume documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning in addition to its glamour, revealing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the complex sentiments associated with expectation. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This production from a major media investigative unit continues their legacy of thorough examinations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose minors were removed from their care after reports of harm were linked to a single medical professional, and questions whether a preventive measure was the right one.

Disclosure

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production positions member states against each other on accommodation, childcare and drug policy to establish the top performer. The childcare episode explores multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
