This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the release of a hardcover volume documenting her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the series offers depth in addition to its polish, uncovering important details about the expectations she faced as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.

The Pause

Medical reports. The bus. Your big day. We all experience the complex sentiments associated with waiting. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.

The Preventionist

This series by a renowned production house upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose children were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by one physician, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed through these methods in the US feature getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production puts EU nations in competition on real estate, early education and narcotics laws to identify the leading example. The parenting segment explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
