This Week's Highlight

IMO: The Look

This latest series from Michelle Obama's audio series aligns with the launch of a visual tome documenting her wardrobe transformation. It's a highly polished affair (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and iconic performer Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the series delivers substance together with its polish, uncovering important details about the pressures she dealt with as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Medical reports. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the mixed emotions that come with expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the period spanning death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.

The Prevention Expert

This production from a renowned production house upholds their legacy of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were placed in foster care after reports of harm were made by one physician, and examines whether a preventive measure was appropriate.

Disclosure

Government document petitions may seem boring, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The information they've obtained through these methods in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

European Comparison: Top Performers

A new miniseries positions member states against each other on real estate, early education and substance regulations to determine the top performer. The family support installment analyzes multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if the family expands. The best childcare system? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
