This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a hardcover volume documenting her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of Michelle personally, the show provides meaning in addition to its style, revealing significant insights about the expectations she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.

The Pause

Medical reports. Your ride. Your big day. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.

The Prevention Expert

This podcast by an established audio team continues their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose kids were placed in foster care after reports of harm were attributed to the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

The Truth Unveiled

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This special production positions member states against each other on housing, parental support and drug policy to establish the leading example. The family support installment analyzes different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
