IMO: Style Stories

This new spin-off of the former first lady's audio series accompanies the launch of a hardcover volume documenting her fashion evolution. It's a highly polished affair (in true Obama fashion), featuring guests including style expert Elaine Welteroth and actress Jane Fonda.

Exam outcomes. Public transport. Your wedding day. We're familiar with the conflicting feelings linked to expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A baby born via surrogate? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, narrator Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.

Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with parents whose kids were removed from their care after allegations of abuse were made by one physician, and questions whether an overly cautious strategy was justified.

Revelations

Government document petitions might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered via these requests in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to admit to a court that the leader's social media posts aren't factual.
