This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off of the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the publication of a hardcover volume documenting her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the series provides meaning alongside its style, revealing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she encountered as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments linked to expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.

The Interventionist

This series from a renowned production house continues their tradition of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.

The Truth Unveiled

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production puts EU nations against each other on real estate, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the best. The parenting segment analyzes different concerns such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
