The Former First Lady Reveals Outfit Stories: Best Podcasts This Week

This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the series delivers substance in addition to its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the expectations she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions linked to expectation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.

This series from a renowned production house continues their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were made by the same doctor, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This limited series positions member states against each other on real estate, childcare and substance regulations to determine the leading example. The childcare episode analyzes various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that renowned Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
