IMO: Fashion Focus
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast offers depth alongside its style, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. The bus. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions associated with waiting. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This series by a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose children were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to one physician, and examines whether a preventive measure was justified.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
European Comparison: Top Performers
A new miniseries places European countries against each other on housing, childcare and narcotics laws to identify the top performer. The parenting segment explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that renowned Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
