IMO: Fashion Focus
This latest series from Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the show provides meaning in addition to its polish, uncovering important details about the challenges she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. The bus. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings associated with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This production from a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Host Dyan Neary interviews families whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were linked to the same doctor, and questions whether a preventive measure was appropriate.
Revelations
Government document petitions may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US include persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This limited series positions member states against each other on housing, parental support and drug policy to determine the top performer. The family support installment explores various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that renowned Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
