This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series from Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the launch of a visual tome chronicling her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the show delivers substance alongside its glamour, revealing fascinating perspectives about the pressures she dealt with as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

The Pause

Medical reports. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the mixed emotions linked to expectation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, host Katy Davis collects extraordinary stories of navigating such uncertainty.

The Preventionist

This series from a major media investigative unit continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were taken away after reports of harm were attributed to one physician, and questions whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.

The Truth Unveiled

Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic make them a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

European Comparison: Top Performers

A new miniseries places European countries head to head on accommodation, childcare and substance regulations to determine the best. The childcare episode explores various issues including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
