Michelle Obama Reveals Fashion Secrets: Must-Listen Audio Shows This Week
Top Selection
IMO: Fashion Focus
This latest series from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the launch of a visual tome chronicling her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast provides meaning in addition to its polish, uncovering important details about the expectations she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments associated with expectation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Interventionist
This production from a major media investigative unit maintains their reputation of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews families whose minors were taken away after claims of mistreatment were attributed to one physician, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.
Revelations
Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This special production positions member states in competition on real estate, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the leading example. The childcare episode explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
