This Week's Highlight

IMO: Style Stories

This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the publication of a coffee-table book exploring her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the podcast delivers substance together with its style, uncovering important details about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Public transport. Your big day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions associated with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.

The Interventionist

This series from a major media investigative unit maintains their legacy of thorough examinations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose minors were taken away after allegations of abuse were linked to one physician, and probes whether a preventive measure was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production puts EU nations against each other on housing, parental support and substance regulations to identify the best. The childcare episode analyzes multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
