Top Selection
IMO: The Look
This latest series from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast accompanies the release of a coffee-table book chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of Michelle personally, the series provides meaning in addition to its polish, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the conflicting feelings that come with anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This series from an established audio team upholds their tradition of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose minors were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.
Disclosure
Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
A new miniseries places European countries head to head on housing, childcare and substance regulations to determine the top performer. The parenting segment analyzes multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
