IMO: The Look

This latest series of Michelle Obama's audio series coincides with the launch of a visual tome exploring her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the show offers depth in addition to its polish, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she faced as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Your ride. Your big day. We all experience the complex sentiments linked to waiting. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Preventionist

Host the presenter
Journalist Dyan Neary, the voice behind The Preventionist.

This series from a renowned production house upholds their reputation of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose kids were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by the same doctor, and examines whether a preventive measure was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production places European countries against each other on housing, early education and narcotics laws to identify the best. The parenting segment explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
