Pick of the Week

IMO: Fashion Focus

This new spin-off of the former first lady's IMO podcast coincides with the publication of a coffee-table book documenting her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. Much like the host, the series delivers substance alongside its style, disclosing fascinating perspectives about the challenges she faced as the first Black woman to live in the White House.

Waiting Game

Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. But what about awaiting an incarcerated partner? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between passing away and being revived? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This production by a renowned production house upholds their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary meets caregivers whose minors were taken away after reports of harm were attributed to a single medical professional, and examines whether an overly cautious strategy was appropriate.

Revelations

Freedom of information requests may seem boring, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US feature obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This limited series places European countries head to head on housing, early education and drug policy to determine the top performer. The family support installment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the situation where much-vaunted Sweden nightmarishly limits preschool services if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
