This Week's Highlight

IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off of the former first lady's audio series aligns with the publication of a coffee-table book chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the show provides meaning alongside its style, revealing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions associated with waiting. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.

The Preventionist

This podcast by a renowned production house continues their legacy of thorough examinations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were taken away after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and questions whether a preventive measure was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US feature getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This special production positions member states head to head on housing, parental support and substance regulations to establish the top performer. The parenting segment explores various issues 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? It isn't from Scandinavia.
