IMO: The Look

This latest series from Michelle Obama's audio series coincides with the release of a hardcover volume documenting her style journey.

Much like the host, the series offers depth together with its style, disclosing important details about the challenges she dealt with as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

Waiting Game

Test results. Public transport. Your big day. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings associated with waiting. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This series from a major media investigative unit upholds their tradition of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were taken away after reports of harm were linked to a single medical professional, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.

Disclosure

Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This special production positions member states in competition on accommodation, childcare and drug policy to determine the best. The family support installment examines various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
