Michelle Obama Shares Outfit Stories: Best Audio Shows of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's audio series coincides with the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning alongside its style, disclosing significant insights about the challenges she encountered as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. The bus. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions linked to anticipation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This series by a renowned production house continues their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were taken away after allegations of abuse were made by a single medical professional, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
Disclosure
Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries puts EU nations against each other on real estate, parental support and drug policy to identify the leading example. The family support installment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
