This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the publication of a visual tome exploring her fashion evolution. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the series delivers substance alongside its style, revealing significant insights about the challenges she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. Your ride. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions associated with waiting. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.
The Interventionist
This series from a renowned production house upholds their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose kids were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were linked to a single medical professional, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The information they've obtained via these requests in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

The parenting segment examines different concerns such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the reality that highly-praised Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
