Top Selection
IMO: The Look
This latest series of the former first lady's audio series accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume chronicling her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast offers depth together with its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the challenges she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.
On Hold
Test results. The bus. Your big day. Everyone knows the mixed emotions linked to anticipation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Preventionist
This series by a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose children were taken away after reports of harm were attributed to one physician, and probes whether a preventive measure was justified.
Disclosure
Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US include persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This limited series positions member states in competition on real estate, childcare and drug policy to identify the leading example. The childcare episode analyzes different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
