IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series of the former first lady's audio series coincides with the publication of a coffee-table book chronicling her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the podcast provides meaning in addition to its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the challenges she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments that come with waiting. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

This production from a renowned production house continues their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews parents whose children were taken away after reports of harm were made by the same doctor, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.

Revelations

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The information they've obtained by using them in the US feature 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

This special production puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to determine the best. The childcare episode analyzes different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if the family expands. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
