The Former First Lady Unveils Fashion Secrets: Top Audio Shows of the Week
This Week's Highlight
IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the release of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the show offers depth together with its style, revealing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she faced as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
On Hold
Medical reports. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with waiting. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? A baby born via surrogate? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.
The Preventionist
This series from an established audio team continues their tradition of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose children were taken away after allegations of abuse were attributed to one physician, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.
Revelations
Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This limited series places European countries in competition on real estate, early education and drug policy to identify the best. The family support installment analyzes various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
