This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off from the former first lady's audio series accompanies the publication of a visual tome chronicling her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast offers depth in addition to its glamour, revealing significant insights about the pressures she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Medical reports. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the complex sentiments associated with waiting. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This podcast from a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary meets parents whose minors were removed from their care after reports of harm were attributed to the same doctor, and examines whether a preventive measure was appropriate.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This limited series puts EU nations against each other on real estate, childcare and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The childcare episode explores different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
