Michelle Obama Shares Style Insights: Top Audio Shows of the Week

Pick of the Week

IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off from the former first lady's IMO podcast accompanies the publication of a coffee-table book documenting her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast offers depth together with its style, uncovering important details about the challenges she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

The Pause

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with anticipation. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Preventionist

This production from a renowned production house upholds their reputation of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were taken away after reports of harm were made by a single medical professional, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.

Revelations

Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production places European countries head to head on real estate, childcare and drug policy to establish the leading example. The family support installment analyzes various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
