IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast accompanies the launch of a coffee-table book chronicling her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast provides meaning together with its style, disclosing significant insights about the expectations she encountered as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

Waiting Game

Test results. Public transport. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with waiting. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.

The Interventionist

This production from an established audio team upholds their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with families whose kids were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were linked to the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This limited series puts EU nations in competition on real estate, parental support and substance regulations to establish the top performer. The parenting segment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
