The podcast, launching on April 4 from Tagouri’s At Your Service production company in partnership with iHeartMedia, is four years in the making. Tagouri first came up with the idea in 2018, shortly after she finished working on her series Sold In America. She stopped and started trying to work on Rep (which had several other possible titles) two times before finally settling on “the final download,” or vision for the series, on New Year’s Day in 2021. “That version, compared to the version that it is today, is completely different,” Tagouri says. “But that’s what I realized was  really where our journey had to start.”
