Top Selection
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series aligns with the release of a coffee-table book exploring her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast delivers substance in addition to its style, uncovering important details about the challenges she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to occupy the White House.
The Pause
Medical reports. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments associated with waiting. However, consider awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.
The Preventionist
This series from an established audio team maintains their reputation of thorough examinations into debated issues. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose children were removed from their care after reports of harm were made by the same doctor, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.
Revelations
Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
EU Nations: Best Practices
A new miniseries puts EU nations head to head on real estate, parental support and substance regulations to establish the top performer. The family support installment examines multiple topics such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the reality that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
