IMO: The Look
This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series accompanies the release of a hardcover volume exploring her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the podcast provides meaning alongside its style, uncovering significant insights about the challenges she faced as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

Test results. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings that come with anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Prevention Expert
This podcast from a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were placed in foster care after reports of harm were linked to a single medical professional, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US include obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries places European countries head to head on accommodation, childcare and drug policy to determine the leading example. The family support installment analyzes different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It's not Scandinavian.
