This week, we're taking a break and sharing something special, from Talk Easy, part of our podcast network at Higher Ground.

On Talk Easy, host Sam Fragoso shares deeply researched conversations with actors, politicians, activists and so many others, getting guests to open up in ways they haven't before. In this episode, Sam talks with Mrs. Obama. They get into her pivot to podcasting, her version of doomscrolling, and why these times are janky. She describes the complicated dynamics of life inside (and outside) the White House, the enduring influence of her late mother, the beloved Marian Robinson, and how her hard-fought belief in the American people has never faltered.

Write Down the Stupid Thoughts with Jon Stewart

This week we are throwing it back with a re-release of one of IMO's very first episodes!

She joins Michelle and Craig to answer a question from a listener who is struggling with the unexpected end of a long-term friendship. Issa asks why male friendships are so weird and shares lessons from a friendship falling out. Michelle offers lessons on how to maintain connections throughout life, and Craig takes a stand for the fellas – who, Issa and Michelle claim, have no idea how to use emojis to express actual emotion.
