This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the release of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the series provides meaning in addition to its style, revealing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she dealt with as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

On Hold

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the mixed emotions that come with expectation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of navigating such uncertainty.

The Interventionist

This series by a major media investigative unit upholds their reputation of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose children were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were linked to the same doctor, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

Revelations

Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This limited series puts EU nations in competition on real estate, early education and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The parenting segment examines different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
