This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the launch of a coffee-table book exploring her wardrobe transformation. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast provides meaning together with its polish, uncovering important details about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings associated with expectation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Interventionist

This production by a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary speaks with families whose children were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by the same doctor, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production places European countries against each other on real estate, childcare and drug policy to determine the best. The childcare episode examines multiple topics such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if the family expands. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
