This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's audio series coincides with the launch of a coffee-table book chronicling her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the series delivers substance together with its style, disclosing important details about the pressures she faced as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Medical reports. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the conflicting feelings that come with anticipation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of navigating such uncertainty.

The Interventionist

This production from an established audio team upholds their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews families whose children were removed from their care after reports of harm were attributed to the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production places European countries head to head on accommodation, parental support and substance regulations to establish the leading example. The family support installment analyzes various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
