The Pause

Or the time between passing away and being revived? This contemplative show, narrator Katy Davis hears remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
The Prevention Expert
This series from a major media investigative unit continues their tradition of thorough examinations into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary speaks with caregivers whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were made by a single medical professional, and probes whether a preventive measure was the right one.
The Truth Unveiled
Government document petitions might sound dry, but journalist Jason Leopold and constitutional lawyer Matt Topic turn them into an engaging show. The revelations they've discovered by using them in the US comprise getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to state in legal proceedings that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.
EU Nations: Best Practices

The family support installment examines various issues from Iceland's women's strike to the fact that renowned Sweden problematically reduces daycare for young children if the family expands. The best childcare system? It isn't from Scandinavia.
