This Week's Highlight

IMO: Fashion Focus

This fresh installment of Michelle Obama's IMO podcast accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume exploring her style journey. It's a highly polished affair (as expected from the Obamas), with appearances by including ex-Teen Vogue chief Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda. In the style of Michelle personally, the podcast delivers substance together with its glamour, revealing important details about the pressures she dealt with as the pioneering Black female to occupy the White House.

Waiting Game

Test results. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, presenter Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This series from a major media investigative unit maintains their legacy of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics. Presenter Dyan Neary meets families whose kids were taken away after allegations of abuse were attributed to the same doctor, and probes whether a "better safe than sorry" approach was justified.

Disclosure

Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

European Comparison: Top Performers

This limited series puts EU nations head to head on housing, parental support and narcotics laws to determine the leading example. The parenting segment examines multiple topics including Iceland's feminist protest to the fact that renowned Sweden nightmarishly limits daycare for young children if a new sibling arrives. The finest provider of childcare? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
