Top Selection
IMO: The Look
This latest series from the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the release of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the series offers depth in addition to its style, uncovering significant insights about the pressures she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your wedding day. We all experience the complex sentiments that come with expectation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.
The Interventionist
This production from a major media investigative unit maintains their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose minors were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were made by the same doctor, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.
The Truth Unveiled
Public records inquiries might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed through these methods in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.
European Comparison: Top Performers
A new miniseries positions member states in competition on housing, parental support and drug policy to determine the top performer. The parenting segment examines different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the situation where renowned Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
