This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast accompanies the publication of a hardcover volume documenting her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the show delivers substance in addition to its style, uncovering significant insights about the challenges she encountered as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.

Waiting Game

Medical reports. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings that come with waiting. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This production from a renowned production house continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose kids were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were made by one physician, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

Disclosure

Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

A new miniseries places European countries head to head on accommodation, parental support and narcotics laws to determine the leading example. The childcare episode examines multiple topics such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
