IMO: Fashion Focus

This fresh installment from the former first lady's IMO podcast accompanies the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the show offers depth in addition to its style, disclosing important details about the pressures she dealt with as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments linked to expectation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.

This podcast from a major media investigative unit maintains their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose children were taken away after claims of mistreatment were linked to a single medical professional, and probes whether a preventive measure was justified.

Revelations

Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant 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 in competition on real estate, childcare and narcotics laws to determine the leading example. The childcare episode examines various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It's not Scandinavian.
