This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's audio series coincides with the launch of a visual tome documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the show provides meaning together with its style, revealing significant insights about the challenges she encountered as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings linked to waiting. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

The Preventionist

This podcast by an established audio team continues their tradition of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose children were taken away after claims of mistreatment were made by the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions 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 via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

European Comparison: Top Performers

A new miniseries puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, childcare and substance regulations to establish the leading example. The childcare episode explores multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
