We all have terrifying questions that we can’t stop thinking about. Did I make the right decision as a parent? Can I share a secret with my mother or father? Usually, these questions go unanswered because it’s too scary to imagine saying them out loud. This podcast is the place where young people and caring adults in their lives can ask the hardest questions of each other. Lemonada Media presents "I Need To Ask You Something," a unique 10-part series that bridges the gap between the things we need to say and the words we’re afraid to hear. Each week, trauma therapist Dr. Monica Band sits down with a young person and their parent, friend or partner to help them create a blueprint for building stronger relationships while healing out loud. Created in partnership with The Jed Foundation.

Ever wish someone could just tell you the right thing to say to your kid? Me too. Parenting brings us the greatest gifts, and it can be messy, confusing, and downright exhausting. I’m Dr. Susan Swick, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. I’m also a mom of 4. And I believe if you can talk about it with your kids, you can tackle it. We can make it Talkaboutable. This season, I’ll hear from parents about what’s keeping them up at night, as well as experts who share real strategies that actually feel doable. Because when our kids handle even the most difficult situations alongside a caring adult, the hard moments become more bearable, and the good moments become even better. From Lemonada Media in partnership with the Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health at Montage Health, new episodes out every Tuesday.

In 2017, Deven Grey, a young mother, shot and killed her abusive partner in a remote trailer in rural Shelby County, Alabama. She claimed self-defense and filed a Stand Your Ground claim. Instead of freedom, she was handed a “blind plea” – an option to take an unknown sentence in exchange for pleading guilty. As a Black woman who shot and killed a white man in Alabama, she did the only thing she could: She took the plea. Deven’s sentence became the final link in a chain of deceit, haunted land, generational trauma, false identity, coercive control, and a broken justice system. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Liz Flock, Blind Plea asks: Who do we believe, and why? And in America, who has the right to self defense and a fair trial?

We make a lot of choices, every single day. Some explode, some implode, most we barely remember. Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they’ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. What’s a story a journalist took a chance on that changed history? A vote that a politician never should have cast? A song lyric a musician came up with in the shower that made them instantly famous? Sam’s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast.

Two-time Peabody Award–winning comedian Hasan Minhaj talks with politicians, public figures, and experts from finance to psychology to astrophysics. In a media culture dominated by certainty, Hasan leads with curiosity, doubt, and a commitment to keep his guests laughing no matter how dark the subject matter. The result is that no matter the personality or topic, we all learn something we didn’t know. Sales and Distribution by Lemonada Media https://lemonadamedia.com/
