Pick of the Week
IMO: The Look
This new spin-off of the former first lady's audio series coincides with the launch of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. In the style of Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning alongside its glamour, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the pioneering Black female to reside in the White House.
On Hold
Medical reports. Public transport. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions associated with waiting. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.
The Interventionist
This series from an established audio team continues their tradition of in-depth reporting into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were taken away after reports of harm were linked to one physician, and questions whether a preventive measure was justified.
Revelations
Government document petitions might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This special production places European countries in competition on accommodation, early education and narcotics laws to determine the best. The family support installment examines multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that renowned Sweden severely restricts preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
