IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the publication of a coffee-table book documenting her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the podcast offers depth in addition to its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the expectations she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.
Waiting Game
Test results. Public transport. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings associated with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This production from a renowned production house maintains their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose children were taken away after allegations of abuse were linked to a single medical professional, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This limited series positions member states against each other on real estate, early education and substance regulations to determine the top performer. The parenting segment analyzes various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
