IMO: Style Stories
This latest series of the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the show offers depth together with its polish, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.
Waiting Game
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings that come with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Interventionist
This series from a major media investigative unit upholds their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose kids were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.
Disclosure
Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. 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.
EU Nations: Best Practices
This special production places European countries head to head on real estate, early education and drug policy to establish the leading example. The childcare episode explores multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
