This Week's Highlight
IMO: Style Stories
This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the show delivers substance together with its polish, disclosing important details about the pressures she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.
On Hold
Test results. The bus. Your big day. We all experience the conflicting feelings linked to anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.
The Prevention Expert
This series by a major media investigative unit continues their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose minors were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were linked to one physician, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.
Disclosure
Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries positions member states in competition on housing, parental support and substance regulations to establish the best. The childcare episode examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
