The Former First Lady Reveals Outfit Stories: Top Podcasts of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book exploring her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the podcast provides meaning together with its glamour, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she dealt with as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your wedding day. We're familiar with the mixed emotions that come with expectation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This podcast by a major media investigative unit maintains their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary interviews families whose kids were taken away after reports of harm were linked to a single medical professional, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This limited series places European countries in competition on accommodation, childcare and narcotics laws to identify the best. The parenting segment analyzes different concerns such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
