Pick of the Week

IMO: Fashion Focus

This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume chronicling her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning in addition to its style, uncovering significant insights about the challenges she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the conflicting feelings linked to expectation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.

The Interventionist

This podcast from a renowned production house continues their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose minors were taken away after claims of mistreatment were made by the same doctor, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

Revelations

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

A new miniseries places European countries in competition on housing, parental support and substance regulations to establish the leading example. The childcare episode explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if the family expands. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
