This latest series of the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the release of a hardcover volume documenting her style journey. Everything is meticulously crafted (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the host, the podcast offers depth alongside its glamour, disclosing significant insights about the expectations she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

The Pause

Test results. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments linked to expectation. Now imagine waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of dealing with the unknown.

This production from a major media investigative unit continues their reputation of thorough examinations into debated issues. Host Dyan Neary interviews parents whose kids were placed in foster care after reports of harm were linked to the same doctor, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.

Disclosure

Government document petitions might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic make them a lively listen. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

A new miniseries places European countries against each other on real estate, early education and substance regulations to determine the best. The parenting segment explores different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that much-vaunted Sweden problematically reduces preschool services if their parents have another baby. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
