Barack and Michelle Obama are reportedly negotiating a deal to produce shows for Netflix.
Netflix would pay the former first couple for exclusive content, with the number of episodes and formats yet to be decided, according to the New York Times, which described talks as "advanced".
The shows would give Mr Obama, who was US president for eight years until Donald Trump took over after the 2016 election, an unfiltered way of talking to the public.

He already has an audience on Twitter, where he has 101 million followers, and Facebook, with 55 million.
He would not use the shows to respond to Mr Trump or his conservative critics, however.

Eric Schultz, a senior adviser to the former president, told the newspaper: "Throughout their lives, they have lifted up stories of people whose efforts to make a difference are quietly changing the world for the better.
"As they consider their future personal plans, they continue to explore new ways to help others tell and share their stories."

Among the issues close to the former president's heart are health care, voting rights, foreign policy and climate change; while the former first lady championed the importance of nutrition during her time in the White House.
It has not been revealed how much the Obamas might be paid for their involvement.
The New York Times also reported that Apple and Amazon have shown interest in content deals with the couple.

How to prepare Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings

Lemon-Pepper Chicken Wings Yield : 4 Appetizer servings  Time : 50 minutes Lemon pepper usually refers to a store-bought spice blend of dehydrated lemon zest, black pepper and other seasonings, but the beloved pantry staple is simple enough to recreate at home: Rub oven-dried lemon zest into fresh, coarsely ground black pepper to release the oils of each. Magic ensues as the lemon gains the fruity muskiness of the pepper, and the pepper is slicked with the fragrant balm of the lemon. The citric acid is optional, but provides lemon pepper’s characteristic tartness. Sprinkled over roasted chicken wings, this golden dust gives off high-voltage flavors. To make this with store-bought lemon pepper, skip Steps 3 and 4 and simply toss the roasted wings with a dusting of the seasoning to taste. INGREDIENTS   FOR THE CHICKEN: 2   pounds chicken wings, whole or separated into wingettes and drumettes ¼   cup olive oil 1   teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) FOR THE LEMO...
