This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series of Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the release of a visual tome chronicling her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the show provides meaning together with its style, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments linked to anticipation. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Interventionist

This podcast from a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of thorough examinations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose kids were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and examines whether a preventive measure was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This special production places European countries head to head on real estate, childcare and drug policy to determine the best. The childcare episode explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that renowned Sweden severely restricts childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
