IMO: The Look
This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the release of a hardcover volume chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the podcast provides meaning alongside its glamour, revealing important details about the expectations she faced as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
Waiting Game
Medical reports. Your ride. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions linked to expectation. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This production from a renowned production house upholds their tradition of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose kids were placed in foster care after reports of harm were made by one physician, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.
Revelations
Freedom of information requests aren't the sexiest topic, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US feature getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries positions member states against each other on accommodation, early education and drug policy to determine the best. The family support installment explores various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
