IMO: Fashion Focus

Test results. The bus. Your marriage ceremony. Everyone knows the complex sentiments linked to expectation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.

The childcare episode examines multiple topics from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that highly-praised Sweden severely restricts daycare for young children if their parents have another baby. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
