Pick of the Week

IMO: The Look

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the release of a visual tome chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the series provides meaning in addition to its polish, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the challenges she dealt with as the first Black woman to reside in the White House.

The Pause

Medical reports. Public transport. Your big day. We all experience the mixed emotions linked to expectation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis hears extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This production by an established audio team upholds their tradition of thorough examinations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose children were placed in foster care after allegations of abuse were made by a single medical professional, and probes whether a preventive measure was justified.

Revelations

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US feature getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This limited series puts EU nations against each other on real estate, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the leading example. The parenting segment examines different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that renowned Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
