This Week's Highlight

IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the launch of a coffee-table book chronicling her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the show provides meaning together with its style, revealing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the mixed emotions associated with waiting. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.

The Interventionist

This podcast from a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose children were taken away after allegations of abuse were attributed to the same doctor, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

The family support installment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where renowned Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
