This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off from the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the publication of a visual tome documenting her fashion evolution. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the show provides meaning together with its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the challenges she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. The bus. Your wedding day. We all experience the conflicting feelings that come with expectation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Interventionist

This podcast by a major media investigative unit continues their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were taken away after allegations of abuse were attributed to one physician, and probes whether a preventive measure was the right one.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This limited series places European countries against each other on real estate, parental support and substance regulations to determine the best. The family support installment explores 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.
