IMO: The Look

This fresh installment of the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a visual tome exploring her wardrobe transformation. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the podcast delivers substance together with its style, uncovering significant insights about the challenges she faced as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

The Pause

Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the mixed emotions associated with waiting. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.

The Prevention Expert

This production by a renowned production house upholds their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary meets families whose kids were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were made by a single medical professional, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.

Disclosure

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This special production puts EU nations against each other on accommodation, childcare and drug policy to identify the leading example. The childcare episode explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits childcare for toddlers if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
