IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series accompanies the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the series delivers substance together with its glamour, disclosing important details about the expectations she faced as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.
Waiting Game
Medical reports. The bus. Your wedding day. We're familiar with the complex sentiments that come with expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This series by a renowned production house maintains their tradition of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose kids were removed from their care after reports of harm were attributed to a single medical professional, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.
Disclosure
Government document petitions might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries puts EU nations head to head on real estate, parental support and substance regulations to identify the best. The parenting segment explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
