Top Selection
IMO: Style Stories
This latest series from Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the release of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the series offers depth in addition to its glamour, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the pioneering Black female to live in the White House.
Waiting Game
Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your big day. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings associated with expectation. Now imagine awaiting an incarcerated partner? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of navigating such uncertainty.
The Interventionist
This series from a renowned production house continues their reputation of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews families whose children were taken away after reports of harm were linked to the same doctor, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The information they've obtained by using them in the US include persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
EU Nations: Best Practices
This limited series positions member states against each other on accommodation, early education and substance regulations to determine the leading example. The childcare episode explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
