Top Selection
IMO: Fashion Focus
This latest series from the former first lady's audio series accompanies the launch of a visual tome exploring her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the series offers depth together with its style, uncovering significant insights about the pressures she encountered as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
Waiting Game
Medical reports. The bus. Your wedding day. We're familiar with the complex sentiments associated with anticipation. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This podcast by a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary interviews families whose minors were placed in foster care after reports of harm were made by one physician, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This special production puts EU nations against each other on real estate, childcare and drug policy to determine the top performer. The family support installment explores multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
