This Week's Highlight

IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a visual tome documenting her wardrobe transformation. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the series delivers substance in addition to its polish, disclosing significant insights about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the conflicting feelings linked to expectation. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of navigating such uncertainty.

The Interventionist

This production by an established audio team maintains their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose children were removed from their care after reports of harm were made by a single medical professional, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

Disclosure

Government document petitions might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US comprise 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 positions member states against each other on real estate, parental support and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The family support installment explores multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
