This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off from the former first lady's audio series accompanies the launch of a visual tome chronicling her wardrobe transformation. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. In the style of Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning alongside its style, disclosing important details about the pressures she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.

On Hold

Medical reports. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments associated with expectation. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

The Interventionist

This production by a major media investigative unit upholds their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose children were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were attributed to one physician, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This special production places European countries in competition on housing, early education and substance regulations to establish the leading example. The parenting segment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
