This fresh installment from Michelle Obama's IMO podcast aligns with the launch of a coffee-table book chronicling her style journey. The production is sleek (typical of the Obama brand), featuring guests such as ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of the woman herself, the series provides meaning in addition to its polish, revealing important details about the pressures she encountered as the inaugural African American first lady to reside in the White House.

On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your big day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments that come with expectation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, presenter Katy Davis listens to remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

This production by a renowned production house continues their legacy of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose minors were removed from their care after reports of harm were attributed to the same doctor, and examines whether a preventive measure was justified.

Disclosure
