Top Selection
IMO: Style Stories
This fresh installment from the former first lady's audio series accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the woman herself, the podcast delivers substance alongside its glamour, revealing significant insights about the challenges she faced as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.
The Pause
Exam outcomes. The bus. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions that come with anticipation. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.
The Prevention Expert
This production by a renowned production house continues their legacy of thorough examinations into contentious subjects. Presenter Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose kids were taken away after reports of harm were made by the same doctor, and examines whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was appropriate.
Revelations
Government document petitions might sound dry, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
This special production puts EU nations against each other on housing, early education and substance regulations to determine the best. The parenting segment explores various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden severely restricts preschool services if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
