This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the show delivers substance together with its polish, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the mixed emotions linked to anticipation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Interventionist

This production by an established audio team maintains their tradition of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose minors were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were linked to the same doctor, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

The Truth Unveiled

Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This special production puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, childcare and drug policy to identify the top performer. The family support installment analyzes multiple topics such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the reality that highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
