This Week's Highlight

IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast accompanies the release of a visual tome documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the series provides meaning alongside its glamour, revealing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she dealt with as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

The Pause

Exam outcomes. The bus. Your wedding day. We all experience the complex sentiments associated with expectation. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This production by a renowned production house continues their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to one physician, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was the right one.

Disclosure

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

EU Nations: Best Practices

This limited series places European countries in competition on real estate, parental support and narcotics laws to determine the top performer. The parenting segment examines different concerns such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the reality that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
