This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This latest series of Michelle Obama's audio series accompanies the release of a coffee-table book documenting her wardrobe transformation. Everything is meticulously crafted (in true Obama fashion), with appearances by such as former Teen Vogue editor Elaine Welteroth and Hollywood legend Jane Fonda. Much like Michelle personally, the show offers depth in addition to its glamour, revealing significant insights about the challenges she dealt with as the inaugural African American first lady to live in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the mixed emotions linked to expectation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the period spanning death and resuscitation? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.

The Preventionist

This series by an established audio team upholds their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary speaks with families whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were made by one physician, and probes whether an overly cautious strategy was the right one.

The Truth Unveiled

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a lively listen. The stories they've unearthed via these requests in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath 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, childcare and drug policy to establish the top performer. The family support installment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts preschool services if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? It isn't from Scandinavia.
