This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the publication of a hardcover volume exploring her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the show delivers substance alongside its polish, disclosing significant insights about the challenges she encountered as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

The Pause

Medical reports. Public transport. Your big day. We all experience the complex sentiments that come with anticipation. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This podcast by a renowned production house maintains their reputation of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose kids were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were made by a single medical professional, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

Revelations

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The information they've obtained by using them in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production puts EU nations in competition on housing, early education and drug policy to identify the best. The childcare episode analyzes different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
