IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment of the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a coffee-table book chronicling her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the series delivers substance together with its style, disclosing important details about the expectations she encountered as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. The bus. Your big day. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings associated with waiting. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Interventionist
This podcast by a major media investigative unit maintains their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets parents whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.
Disclosure
Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
EU Nations: Best Practices
This limited series positions member states against each other on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to identify the leading example. The childcare episode analyzes multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
