Top Selection
IMO: The Look
This latest series from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the publication of a coffee-table book exploring her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the show offers depth together with its polish, uncovering significant insights about the expectations she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions linked to expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.
The Preventionist
This series by a renowned production house continues their reputation of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose kids were placed in foster care after reports of harm were attributed to a single medical professional, and questions whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries puts EU nations in competition on real estate, early education and drug policy to identify the best. The family support installment explores various issues such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if the family expands. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
