This Week's Highlight

IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off of the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a visual tome exploring her style journey. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the series delivers substance alongside its polish, disclosing important details about the challenges she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to occupy the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your big day. We're familiar with the complex sentiments that come with anticipation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

The Interventionist

This podcast from a renowned production house upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with families whose children were taken away after claims of mistreatment were linked to one physician, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, early education and drug policy to identify the best. The parenting segment explores multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
