Top Selection
IMO: Fashion Focus
This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast coincides with the launch of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to Michelle personally, the series offers depth together with its polish, uncovering important details about the challenges she dealt with as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the mixed emotions that come with expectation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, presenter Katy Davis listens to incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This podcast from a renowned production house maintains their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets parents whose children were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by one physician, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.
Revelations
Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US include persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
European Comparison: Top Performers
This limited series positions member states head to head on real estate, childcare and substance regulations to determine the best. The family support installment analyzes multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
