IMO: Fashion Focus

This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the publication of a hardcover volume exploring her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the podcast offers depth together with its glamour, revealing significant insights about the challenges she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Public transport. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions that come with anticipation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This production from a major media investigative unit continues their reputation of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose children were taken away after allegations of abuse were attributed to the same doctor, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.

The Truth Unveiled

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The information they've obtained by using them in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This limited series puts EU nations head to head on accommodation, early education and substance regulations to identify the leading example. The parenting segment explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
