IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the series offers depth alongside its style, disclosing important details about the pressures she dealt with as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions linked to expectation. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This podcast by a renowned production house continues their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose kids were placed in foster care after reports of harm were made by a single medical professional, and examines whether a preventive measure was the right one.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to determine the best. The parenting segment examines different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
