IMO: Style Stories

This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her style journey. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast offers depth alongside its polish, revealing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings that come with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This podcast by a renowned production house continues their tradition of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose kids were taken away after allegations of abuse were made by the same doctor, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.

Disclosure

Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This limited series places European countries head to head on accommodation, early education and substance regulations to establish the top performer. The childcare episode analyzes multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
