IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series from the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the launch of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the podcast provides meaning together with its glamour, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to occupy the White House.

Waiting Game

Test results. Your ride. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with expectation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This production by a renowned production house continues their reputation of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose kids were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were linked to a single medical professional, and questions whether a preventive measure was justified.

Revelations

Government document petitions might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US comprise persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

EU Nations: Best Practices

A new miniseries positions member states head to head on real estate, childcare and drug policy to determine the top performer. The parenting segment analyzes different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
