IMO: The Look

This new spin-off from the former first lady's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the podcast provides meaning alongside its style, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the expectations she faced as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.

On Hold

Medical reports. Public transport. Your big day. We all experience the conflicting feelings linked to waiting. Now imagine 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 listens to remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

The Interventionist

This series from a major media investigative unit upholds their reputation of hard-hitting investigations into debated issues. Presenter Dyan Neary meets parents whose children were taken away after claims of mistreatment were made by one physician, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

Revelations

Public records inquiries might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US include persuading the former president's aide to state in legal proceedings that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This limited series positions member states in competition on housing, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the best. The parenting segment examines different concerns including Iceland's feminist protest to the reality that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if their parents have another baby. The finest provider of childcare? It isn't from Scandinavia.
