Michelle Obama Unveils Fashion Secrets: Top Podcasts of the Week

This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This fresh installment of the former first lady's audio series accompanies the release of a hardcover volume documenting her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the series offers depth in addition to its style, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your big day. We all experience the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.

The Interventionist

This production by a renowned production house continues their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were taken away after allegations of abuse were attributed to a single medical professional, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production puts EU nations against each other on housing, early education and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The childcare episode examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
