IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off of Michelle Obama's audio series coincides with the launch of a visual tome documenting her wardrobe transformation. The production is sleek (as expected from the Obamas), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Similar to the host, the show delivers substance alongside its glamour, uncovering fascinating perspectives about the pressures she encountered as the first Black woman to occupy the White House.

The Pause

Medical reports. Public transport. Your wedding day. We're familiar with the complex sentiments linked to anticipation. But what about waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This series by an established audio team continues their tradition of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Host Dyan Neary meets families whose minors were placed in foster care after reports of harm were made by the same doctor, and probes whether a preventive measure was appropriate.

Revelations

Government document petitions aren't the sexiest topic, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This limited series positions member states against each other on housing, parental support and drug policy to determine the best. The family support installment explores various issues such as Iceland's gender equality walkout to the situation where highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
