IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by including style expert Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Similar to the woman herself, the series delivers substance alongside its polish, uncovering important details about the pressures she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.

On Hold

Medical reports. The bus. Your wedding day. We all experience the mixed emotions associated with anticipation. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Preventionist

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US feature persuading the former president's aide to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

EU Nations: Best Practices

The family support installment analyzes multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where renowned Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The finest provider of childcare? It's not Scandinavian.
