This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the launch of a hardcover volume documenting her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast delivers substance in addition to its glamour, revealing significant insights about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

Waiting Game

Medical reports. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the mixed emotions that come with waiting. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This podcast from a renowned production house continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were taken away after claims of mistreatment were attributed to the same doctor, and examines whether a preventive measure was appropriate.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This limited series positions member states against each other on real estate, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the top performer. The family support installment examines multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
